<br>Visionaires --<br><br>Jeff and I went to see "Into The Wild," the Sean Penn film based on Jon Krakauer's book by the same name, and I would urge all of you to see it. An astonishingly well-made movie about a very difficult subject -- the protagonist is an idealistic Thoreau/Jack London devotee' who is alternately engaging and annoying, and I found myself entirely caught up in the film even though I had read the book and knew the plot. <br><br>Christopher McCandless, the young man portrayed in the movie by Emile Hirsch, was an imperious, stubborn and intractably arrogant twit fond of pontificating at length to anyone who would listen; he was also bright, engaging, kindhearted and funny. The book was very good, and the film outstanding. <br><br>(Note to my friends: Of course I see the similarities. I used to be an imperious, stubborn and intractably arrogant twit, too. Only Dale thinks I still am!)<br><br>keely<br><br><br /><hr />Boo! Scare away worms, viruses and so much more!
