The movie tells me that getting an educational degree or a driving license isn't enough to serve as a rite of passage to real life where you feel being more than a product of your nearest environment, composed by your family and its history or your schooling and the relationships you experience within or around your school life.
Definitely Shawn Penn is a great director and Emile Hirsch who plays Chris McCandless is just captivating.
