Painful

This is such a desperately sad story in so many ways. Being a fan of Sean Penn's beautiful 'Into the Wild', I was interested to learn more about the Chris McCandless story. This documentary certainly fills in most of the blanks, but it's painful to hear the tale behind the tale.

Revealing

It was clear beforehand that the guy was mentally ill. To hear his upbringing confirms it, and to see his mother - the one who is as responsible as his father for the abuse the kid lived through - SMILE as she observed that he died in the sleeping bag she'd bought for him - to hear the total denial of her guilt, to see the parents' faces and see their TOTAL denial of the abuse they put their kids through - it's no wonder he was mentally ill with parents like that. His father was a monster and his mother a monstrous enabler. This wasn't an adventure. He was fleeing the misery inside his own head, and that is nothing to admire or emulate.
