Random Rants On Life & Stuff

This is an amazing movie.  If you have not seen it you need to add it to your Netflix queue ASAP and move it to the top.  I watched this for the first time a few months back.  It stuck with me as all great movies tend to do.

I picked up a used copy at Blockbuster last week and watched it again tonight and now I’m “in it.”  Once I’ve unpacked all that is churning in my head I’ll give this movie a proper post.  I just couldn’t resist putting a little something up tonight.

Here are few of my favorite quotes from the film:

“When you forgive, you love.  And when you love, God’s light shines on you.” – Ron Franz (played by Hal Holbrook) speaking to Chris McCandless (played by Emile Hirsch)

“Get back out on the road.  You should make a radical change in your lifestyle.  The core of man’s spirit comes from new experiences.” – Chris to Ron

“Happiness is real when shared.” – Written by Chris in between paragraphs in the book “Family Happiness” by Tolstoy
