What is the purpose of life, and what makes a person truly happy? These are some rather philosophical questions that ‘Into the Wild’ seeks to answer. The adventure drama is based on the real-life story of Christopher Johnson McCandless, an American man in his twenties who lived a nomadic lifestyle after graduating from college, only to succumb to the wilderness.

So why don’t we dissect the climax together?
