After reading some stuff about The Beach on IMDB, I was lead to Into The Wild,
Wow.
Definitely one of the most inspirational films I've ever seen. I go through phases of wanting to be alone, alienating myself from everyone, and then craving company again. But I've often dreamt of just getting away from everything. That's not really possible in the tiny but heavily populated UK. It used to make me laugh, when I worked in the army store and people came in saying they're going camping and 'roughing it' etc... in some designated camp site 10 minutes away from a town. To my mind, that kind of defeats the object.
I'm not going to say much about the film in case you want to watch it. Most people have probably heard about it before, but I didn't even know it was a true story until the end :o
So, I will be reading the book of this too
