Into the Wild - Chris reads Tolstoy's "Family Happiness"

Scene from Into The Wild. Chris McCandless reads a passage from Leo Tolstoy's "Family Happiness" in the "Magic Bus". Mirrored to try to avoid video being detected and taken down. I do not own any of this material.

    A good example of the tragedy of chris McCandless - he didn't understand his own philosophy, and missed the point of Tolstoy's writing here, and everything else he admired. I just finished reading the novella from which he's quoting here, Family Happiness, the lives of the characters are the exact opposite of Chris's. they have reconciled their pain and disillusionment and have found peace and happiness in loving and serving each other, imperfect though they may be. They learn from their pain, love each other through it, and accept that life shared with others is flawed but beautiful. Chris, on the other hand, ran away from his family and society, judged them as corrupt, and destroyed himself partly out of ignorance of how to survive in the alaskan bush and partly out of pride and stubbornness.

    I can understand your viewpoint but to call him adjectives is a misread I think. Indeed he made mistakes and eventually had to pay for it, but he saw something very rare in Alaska. Not that 'something' was special or everyone must experience it, but we can learn from it. Moreover, I have always thought of Chris as someone who gathered wisdom from the frame of mind of the writer, as in what was going through Thoreau's head when he wrote Walden or in that case what made Tolstoy write 'Family Happiness' in a feminine narrative. There are very few writers who have no veil in their words and their lives. Expression of art is a flawed enterprise.

    From my understanding he realized the point of the Tolstoy's book once it was too late for him and he was already trapped in his own fate. I'm pretty sure that he would have returned to the civilization if he could have.

    In the end he realizes the happiness he got out of life was meant to be shared. He was chasing that the whole time not knowing that was what he really wanted all along!

    it felt like everything (all philosophy/discovery/cinematography/irony) was being pulled (gravitationally) by this towering of a sequence just before it hit that 'where are the f******* animals!' climax scene.
