The works of Thoreau through movies
Have you seen the puzzling "Into the wild" ?
Give you impressions and please quote Thoreau's quotes that appeared in the movie if you do remember and from what work have they been picked up. Cheers

Hello, it was one of the most poetic and sensitive movies I have ever seen that one.
The quote I noticed was about the truth taken from The Walden. " From love and wealth I mostly prefer truth" I do not recall any other quote from Thoreau, in general though he expressed most of Thoreau's philosophy with the approach and attitude to life that he had adopted. Thank you |

In the movie he quotes directly "Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."
In the book however Thoreau is mentioned numerous times. Mccandless even highlighted quite a few passages like the one in Higher Laws about how the fish filled Thoreau in the same way potatoes would. |
