The Final Cut
In the last scene of the movie,
Alexander is completely struggling to move within the cramped bus. He realizes
the plant he ate was actually very toxic and was slowly killing him. This led
him to the sudden realization of how he viewed his own life principal about
happiness. Before in the movie he said happiness is found in nature living
alone, but the last thing he wrote in his journal was “Happiness only real when
shared.” After he wrote this entry he bundled himself into his bed and laid
down for the last time and looked up to the sky with a giant smile on his face.
This made Alex’s complete transformation at finding out the true meaning in
life. If only he would have realized this when he wasn’t starving to death and
about to die. Although for the first
time in a long time Alex was extremely happy, because he found the true meaning
in life and he looked over his journey and found out how much fun he did indeed
have figuring it out.
This
scene is essential to this movie, because it was Alexander Supertramp’s journey
to finding salvation in this world. Without his past experiences with all the
members he has met along the way, he would have never came to this realization.
After this journey, Christopher
McCandless found liberation from his dark worldview he once held. This scene
exemplifies that even Chris, when he was in his weakest state of mind and
physical ability, was still happy. This
scene fades from his smiling face towards the beautiful Alaskan sky where he
was looking ever so ready to see what was his next step was for him.
