There are journeys where it’s the destination that matters.
Then there are others where it’s the journey itself that defines the story and
the character taking it. The latter kind is what makes for better films, in my
opinion. In the new film Wild, a
young woman hikes the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave desert in southern
California to the Oregon-Washington border – a 1,100-mile walk. Along the way
she recalls moments from her past that brought her to the decision to make this
trek.
