Society

It's a mistery to me
we have a greed
with which we have agreed

You think you have to want
more than you need
until you have it all you won't be free

society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me

When you want more than you have
you think you need
and when you think more than you want
your thoughts begin to bleed

I think I need to find a bigger place
'cos when you have more than you think
you need more space

society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

there's those thinking more or less less is more
but if less is more how you're keeping score?
Means for every point you make
your level drops
kinda like its starting from the top
you can't do that...

society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

society, have mercy on me
I hope you're not angry if I disagree
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

Consciousness of food

Nas costas do livro que servia de seu diário, McCandless escreveu:

I am reborn. This is my dawn. Real life has just begun.
Deliberate Living: Conscious attention to the basics of life, and a constant attention to your immediate environment and its concerns.
Circumstance has no value. It is how one relates to a situation that has value.
Consciousness of food. Eat and cook with concentration. The Great holiness of FOOD

(referente à ética no que respeita ao desperdício e consumo irresponsável de comida de origem animal)

Give me Truth

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. I sat at a table where were rich food and wine in abundance, an obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not; and I went away hungry from the inhospitable board.

Henry David Thoreaux,
Walden, or Life in the Woods

Passagem sublinhada num dos livros encontrados entre os objectos de Chris McCandless.
No topo da página, a palavra "TRUTH" tinha sido escrita em maiúsculas pelo Chris.

Need for a Purpose

Everything had changed suddenly - the tone, the moral climate; you didn´t know what to think, whom to listen to. As if all your life you had been led by the hand like a small child and suddenly you were on your own. At such a time you felt the need of committing yourself to something absolute - life or truth or beauty - of being ruled by it in place of the man-made rules that had been discarded. You needed to surrender to some such ultimate purpose more fully, more unreservedly than you had ever done in the old familiar, peaceful days, in the old life that was now abolished and gone for good.

Boris Pasternak, Doctor Zhivago

Passage highlighted in one of the books found with Chris McCandless remains.
"Need for a Purpose" had been written in McCandless's hand in the margin above the passage.

Há qualquer coisa nesta história real (filme "Into the wild")que me fascina e intriga ao mesmo tempo.. e dou comigo a absorver e a querer saber mais detalhes relatados pela familia e pessoas que se cruzaram com ele. Acho fascinate o seu estado de consciência, tendo-se recusado a viver anestesiado pelo consumismo ou sucesso aparente.

loved it..)

Os silêncios, os planos, a banda sonora, tudo!
Baseado numa história verídica dum rapaz acabado de se graduar da universidade que decide abdicar de tudo para ir viver uma vida simples, longe das mentiras e da ilusão do poder e dinheiro. Pelo caminho vai aprendendo sobre perdão, amor, familia..



INTO THE WILD is a vast journey across America – and deep inside oneself. Writer/director Sean Penn’s sensitive adaptation and expansive direction brilliantly captures the exuberance and idealism of youth – and the danger of pushing love away. The story lives in the eyes of Emile Hirsch, the warm smile of Catherine Keener, and the luminous spirit of Hal Holbrook. INTO THE WILD celebrates the dreamer in all of us – and the danger of dreaming alone.
The film is nicely accented by the soundtrack written by Eddie Vedder.
