Title: Sean Penn wants us to celebrate the individualism and courage of a mean-spirited, cruel, selfish kid.
Review: The main character is totally unlikable because he is so judgmental and cruel to others. Going out on his own is not enough, he needs to hurt and condemn others as he does so. The movie tries to make us feel sorry for him because he is the result of the world he was brought up in. Didn't work for me! He is as much a creator of that world as the result of it. To quote a John Hiatt song "You only see the world you make." Finally, as portrayed in the movie, his escapades before he arrives in Alaska are unbelievable; "Hancock" made a better super-hero. I am going to go read the book to see what really happened.
