Amazing movie

I was excited by this as soon as I saw the trailer. I was positively exploding when i started to read the synopsis and the reviews but when I went to the cinema and saw the movie itself I was completely blown away. Definetley lived up to my build up and was a full two and a bit hours of stunning immersion – and this was after knowing the ending prior to viewing.

Just a great, great movie. Well acted, beautifully shot and full of little brain darts that made me stop and think. And the soundtrack is Eddie Vedder's (of Pearl Jam fame) first foray into film scores. It is more than equal to the task.

One of the most resonant scenes for me was towards the end of the film when the main character has achieved his goal, reached the final destination on the journey he had been destined to make, and lay alone in the wilderness with a huge grin on his face and slowly wrote in his diary something along the lines of "we only know true happiness when it is shared". It made a lot of sense and having purposefully traveled alone for so long it really did make me pause to think.

I'm Impressed with this

Seen on the pavement outside Wieden and Kennedy's London office near Brick Lane. An enraged environmentalist or an aware advertising artisan? Don't know but looks good.
