Two of my favorite actors, Emile Hirsch and Sean Penn, did a combined effort on the film 'Into the Wild'. The film was originally a book that I found to be very good also, but this movie blew me away. Great adventure story that we all have played out in our minds but never had the balls to actually set out and do. Emile Hirsch stars in the film as a young man breaking away from society and all its crap to travel to Alaska and live off the land. Sean Penn directed the film and the shots he captures and the cinematography is nothing short of amazing.Other works of Emile's that are worth mentioning are Lords of Dogtown and Alphadog. Both movies i loved as well. Emile brings a certain rawness and edge to his performances that you just cant pin point. Now, his one downfall is the movie speedracer.. but we'll forget about that piece of garbage ever happening.
Sean Penn's recents works that i am impressed with, arent actually is film accomplishments (although Milk was outstanding), but his political activism. check out this link, you wont be dissapointed. He's a very intelligent man.
