Director: Sean Penn Cast: Emile Hirsch, William Hurt, Catherine Keene, Vince Vaughn Country: USA“Sean is an incredibly special person, and let’s say you’re standing on the edge of a pool wondering if you should jump in, Sean’s the perfect person to push you [in],” Vedder quipped.
Good point, but Penn should leave scriptwriting well alone.
During the film’s second half, McCandless receives a homily from Ron Franz (Hal Holbrook): “When you forgive, you love, and when you love, God’s light shines upon you.” At that very instant, the clouds part and the sun’s divine rays light them up.
Was Penn trying to emulate the Hallmark Channel?

Who's your favorite encounter? Me, its Ron. Call me cheesy and all but there's just a magic to that encounter and Hal Holbrook was just great. I was also cringing when he almost tripped climbing the rocky hill.
This is one of my favorites movies from last year. Loved the soundtrack. Bought the book.
@jayclops: I like Emile Hirsch's scenes with Vince Vaughn.
Vaughn is really great in this film. It was a fun role and he made the most of it. :)
@thescud: I love the soundtrack too! Eddie Vedder blew me away! Is the OST available locally?
i dont think so. i just bought the bootleg copy and ripped it to my ipod. :-)
Where did you buy it? I'm very much interested! Can you hear my heart pounding? :-)
Speaking of the soundtrack, I don't get it why Vedder wasn't even nominated for a single Original Song Oscar. "Guaranteed" ba yung title nung last song?
I love that song!
Yeah, I think it wasn't nominated @ the Oscars; it did win though in the Golden Globes.
sa st. francis square ata. i haven't seen another copy since then. lucky me. :-)
