Title: And I should care about this brat because....
Review: I realize that this movie attempts to portray an actual life. And knowing the young man and the story (the half I was able to sit through) only through a lot of artistic license and speculation, I will reserve judgment on the real Chris McCandless. But the self-righteous, self-obsessed, grandiose brat portrayed on the screen is no one whom I could ever care about. I don't know what the basis is for medicalizing his lousy character and personality, but I'm not quick to buy into that sort of thing...not for people who are able to function in the normal world and relate normally to other people when and while it serves their interests. I guess maybe he wrote some real crazy-sounding stuff before he died, but anybody'd lose it a little in those circumstances. Going into the situation though, I just see a brat about whom I could not possibly have cared less.
