>>1888974>>1889218Ok /out/. What is the real difference between Jeremiah Johnson and Christopher McCandless? I watched both movies and desu I think Chris is a better /out/ example. I've been going around and around on this:
>Both leave city life behind and take up rural/physical/menial work on the margins of society>Both live and die killing and eating animals and living in makeshift shelters in the woods>Both 'still up there on that mountain'However
>Jeremiah Johnson actually fucks that helpless squaw alone in the wilderness while Chris McCandless passes on his underaged woman alone on the margins of society>Chris' hubris only kills himself while Jeremiah Johnson gets his woman and boy killed by natives>Chris doesn't disturb graves or get a reputation for killing people and eating their livers
