Wild

With the dissolution of her marriage and the death of her mother, Cheryl Strayed has lost all hope. After years of reckless, destructive behavior, she makes a rash decision. With absolutely no experience, driven only by sheer determination, Cheryl hikes more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail, alone. Wild powerfully captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddens, strengthen, and ultimately heals her.

 Based on a novel, by Cheryl Strayed.

REVIEW:
Even more so now, I need to read the book.
The emotions this movie raised in me were powerful. I laughed and I cried. I was pulled into this self-discovery adventure to see Cheryl get to the end.
It did remind me of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, or even, The Search for Happiness, only with a female lead.
It was an amazing movie though. Without a doubt. I can just imagine how fantastic the book is, since they are generally better than the movie. That is what propels me to read it still.

5/5

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
