According to A. O. SCOTT, is Penn's depiction of Chris a fair interpretation? 

# data[].attributes.body
No, it is not a fair interpretation of Chris by A.O. Scott. It describes him as grudge-holding. when he's not, he didn't isolate himself because he had a grudge against his father. he isolated himself to find himself and live a transcendentalist lifestyle.

I think the Penn's depiction is a fair interpretation

# data[].attributes.body
Penn's depiction of Chris is a fair interpretation because he understands where he is coming from.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes I think Penn's description of Chris is a fair interpretation.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, it is a fair interpretation.

The movie poster gives off more of an enlightenment journey than the real-life photo that gives a sense of surrealism and survival ship. Chris in the movie poster seems more clean and deep in thought. Unlike the photo that shows his hardship with his unkept look and a feeling of happiness from his smile and posture

# data[].attributes.body
Penn's depiction of Chris is not a fair interpretation because its very harsh and doesn't recognize that Chris is human, it holds him up on a pedestal.

# data[].attributes.body
The movie poster compares to the actual well-known picture of Chris by him being on top of the bus, but in the actual picture, he is not. Therefore the book could have treated him as like god (up on a pedestal) Also in the poster he is not directly looking at the camera.

# data[].attributes.body
In the first picture he looks more serious and is sitting on top of the bus, while in the second picture he seems more joyful and on the ground.

# data[].attributes.body
He's sitting on top of the bus instead of by the side of it.

# data[].attributes.body
The movie characterizes Chris as more of a free man in a positive light, unlike the novel's characterization of the affects of his family deteriorating on him and his knowledge on the wilderness - Giancarlo

# data[].attributes.body
In the movie poster, Chris is sitting on top of the bus, while in the actual picture, he's sitting beside it. There's also a difference in emotion between the pictures. In the actual picture, he's smiling and in the movie poster, he's looking into the distance in a more serious manner.

Michelene A - Mr. Penn's depiction is fair because it comes from a place of wanting to understand. Even though he would never fully understand someone else's experience especially since dead, it is reasonable to have that perception.

# data[].attributes.body
In the movie Chris's decision to leave his family is taken lightly and in the book they make it seem more depressing.

# data[].attributes.body
Michelene - The movie poster shows Chis on top of the bus while the actual picture shows Chris sitting against the bus. This can represent the respect and admiration the author has for Chris. He looks up to Chris. That's why he's on top.

# data[].attributes.body
No, it's not a fair interpretation of Chris by A.O Scott because it describes Chris as grudge holding, while in reality he isolated himself to try his transcendental ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
The movie poster provides us with a more open perspective on Chris, as he seems very deep in thought rather than the real picture where he's smiling regardless of knowing his eventual fate.

# data[].attributes.body
It is not believed that the movie is a fair interpretation of Chris. In the movie Chris is given a more saint like appearance and like a good person. But in the book he is rougher.

# data[].attributes.body
Michelene A- The novel portrays Chris in a negative and sad light. While the film portrays him as a more positive and free man.

# data[].attributes.body
It isn't a fair interpretation because it's claiming that Chris is brooding, grudge-holding, and judgemental all of which were claimed to be because he went into the wild by himself, not responding to his family. But Chris went into the wild for his self-independence and for a better state of mind.

# data[].attributes.body
The book makes him seem more gloomy and has a more negative outlook on things. while the movie shows him as positive and enthusiastic.

# data[].attributes.body
The book makes him seem sad and has a negative outlook on life. However, in the movie, it was the opposite.

# data[].attributes.body
In the movie, Chris is described as more careless and free roaming while in the movie he's described as a more knowledgeable and wise by the way he talks and writes.

# data[].attributes.body
McCandless seemed to be more sad and negative during the majority of his adventures in the novel, but in the film he seemed to be full of joy and excited for his journey.

# data[].attributes.body
Chris would post about his exciting adventures out in the woods, whenever he gets an internet connection. He'd also post selfies with beautiful scenery.

After reading the article written by A.O. SCOTT, his statements on Penns depiction on Chris McCandels corresponds with many of the same thoughts I personally had about the movie. Focusing more on the tragic family background more then his journey, however such minor things don't drag down the movie Although having some minor amplified themes in the movie A.O and me both can see the movie as the true work of art it is

# data[].attributes.body
Both forms of media follow a certain narrative injecting the story of chris mccdadels with many of their own opinions and thoughts on the matter. As we will never really truly know what was going on in MCCandels mind, However both media outlest show Chris as the true spiritual Pilgrimist he was at heart.

I feel he a little judgy, Scott doesnt knwo chris well, he never know what happen with chris for real, He went thru a lot and he needs time for himself.

# data[].attributes.body
i think the movie doesn't make the real look. Chris looks happy in the movie but if you read about him, you can see that he not just happy.

# data[].attributes.body
In the movie he looks more happy, more free in life but when you do read the book he more depress

# data[].attributes.body
He probably would fake a smile and tell people he ok and that he doing amazing
