I Survived Into the Wild.

Apart from 6 or 7 minutes of unwonted "lyricism", the other 140 were incredibly worth watching.

Both a road-trip pic and a man-against-nature saga, the protagonist is ill-prepared for the challenges he takes on -- life, hiking, the river -- especially the river. The river proves his undoing.

But he was just a boy, giving it all away.

He was selfish, but selfless too, foolish and foolhardy, alert and yet somehow asleep. Emile Hirsch conveys the role nearly perfectly, both in his face and in his physical presence. Vince Vaughn actually acts, and Hal Holbrook, in an academy-worthy job, will break your heart.

The matinee audience, in a 2/3 house, was as quiet towards the end as any I have ever witnessed, testimony enow.
