How did the collaboration with Eddie Vedder for the music of the film?
Sean Penn: I had in mind Eddie Vedder's music when I wrote the script and I made sure to structure scenes so that the songs were part of the transitions of the film.
It 'was during the filming of the movie, to see what he was doing while she played Chris McCandless Emile, I have identified the function of the voice of Eddie and I knew what I wanted to do with his beautiful songs.
As the plaintiff has identified a so perfect in the part as Emile Hirsch?
Sean Penn Emile had seen him in a movie and there were many things that convinced me in his physical appearance, as a way of moving. I spent some months with him and one of the main points I wanted to be absolutely sure about was that he had the desire and hunger to spend eight months in those circumstances, that he was willing to get involved and it was the best bet I ever did it because I think it is the absolute best person for the part.
What makes her angry today as an artist, as a man and a citizen?
Sean Penn: I think I can find all sorts of things that make me angry today. This is a kind of fuel but I like to think not only on the basis of these reactions that I have my creative inspiration. I tend to use the word "volume" in these cases. When stupidity becomes too loud, this aroused in me a reaction more than anything else.
Have you ever taken a trip of this kind, spiritual in nature and in solitude like that of Chris McCandless? How long the shooting lasted?
Sean Penn: Perhaps my experience may seem closer in some respects to that of the character of Chris is perhaps my life as a surfer on the ocean. But there is nothing that remotely comes to that level. And the other question was? Sorry yesterday I drank too much red wine and go slow. Yes, the shooting lasted eight months.
What attracted you to this story in particular young people and what kind of lesson should come up in your opinion?
Sean Penn: I guess it was too repetitive in this respect but I think that we Americans especially, but in general throughout the Western world, we live in a society that has developed an addiction to comfort and I would like the film provoke reactions these young people to get them to consider the possibility get them out of comfort zone. E 'must perform a change focus from what others tell us to be as we grow and we choose who we want to be really. It 'a rite of passage that leads us to push this limit. I certainly do not recommend to put yourself in danger but we must make our hearts beat faster.
What is the sentiment that has guided at all stages, from choosing the subject director?
Sean Penn: There are two elements that were the anchor, a part of the story is motivated by escape from the corruption of the world, from family life, but the dominant part of the film is in research, in pursuit, find a place that had a link which was in line with what I want to be. So a sort of celebration of freedom, a quest for freedom.
avoided in practice to show you how Chris McCandless as a modern saint, balance defects and quality?
Sean Penn: For me the balance was an important issue to become the real story of Chris McCandless, maintain authenticity without letting it become a martyr or support everything that ever was. It was important to represent it as we see it, and then as we believe that he was. So the element of authenticity is important. In this equilibrium point is not dargliele all won in situations where he acted selfish, immature, thoughtless, reckless, it comes to maintaining the integrity of the elements in the film, at least in the character where the faults are underlined: his humanity, situations courageous love. In fact this is what it is. They are our flaws that make us human. I have not made any effort to avoid excessive emphasis on the holiness or defects. I thought it was interesting for the spectators to allow this character to do everything possible to become what he wants, even with the flaws that are left free to express themselves. In fact you can clearly see in acting with honesty that we can do for the authenticity of the natural world above us, so I did not make any effort either one way or another.
It 'important to make political films nowadays? The man, in your opinion, should get closer to nature?
Sean Penn: It depends. Sometimes these are political films to be well defined. The important films to me are those that express something of interest for the filmmaker, the director when he does. At this time it's easy to see why we are on the rise of political films. As far as being connected with nature are in agreement with Most people who think that nature should be considered a priority for us.
Given what happens to Chris McCandless, who does not fit in your opinion is bound to perish in the words of Darwin ?
Sean Penn: I try to be very careful in their responses to certain questions. I try to respond from the point of view of the public because I am one of the public in some way. So I think we need to free ourselves from the conditioning but none of this would be worth if you do not report what we learned in our community, family and all that surrounds it. It's about being alone but is a value that must be broadened so as to shared.
What kind of support needed to become a director with a personal style?
Sean Penn: I guess in all the films that I made the stubbornness has been my closest friend but this is a rather unique case and other people who are here with me are very important and also the Paramount me very strong from beginning to end, even economically. Bill (Polhad, producer Ed) gave me much support and has had the courage to give me so much support for a film like this even though clearly there would have been all this without Emile. They are very important. They are making good choices with the people we work with.
The film puts an emphasis on family values, how do you see this?
Sean Penn: It 's a difficult one for families, I am not one who believes in the injury of blood, if someone is part of our family we do not have a debt to them. Everything must be earned. Most of us have a tendency to be more tolerant and understanding in these circumstances with people who are not of our blood, so to speak, but the important question in this story is that any child, any person in his own way must be ready to do whatever is necessary to change skin and that includes respect for parents to find out who is really and feel that your life belongs to themselves while you live and I think everyone should do this personal journey during their lives
There is a whole religious inspiration that takes this film and its protagonist. In your opinion, is an attempt to express an act of faith?
Sean Penn: I agree that it is an act of faith, but my job is not to describe something as a religion, the most important thing is the personal aspect of religion beyond that we do so expressed or unexpressed, conscious or unconscious. The important thing is that there is faith.
The film sees Bush's father. It's been fifteen year and time seems to stand still, then there was Iraq and there is still at this time. As she sees it?
Sean Penn: 's true. Bush can tell his father about this: I've been to a concert of Bruce Springsteen and he addressed the audience saying "look how far we have and now we are coming back." These are words that I share.
Emile Hirsch, she is interesting as an actor it was already in Lords of Dogtown. In Into The Wild as he worked on the body?
Emile Hirsch: Into The Wild As far as I had to get fit, I have done many endurance challenges, challenged weather, course, working out, without a diet and this was a true gift. I have always been physical as a person before, but this film also required a level of physicality that I was new. Kayak on the rapids of the Colorado and the Grand Canyon, tuffarmici and everything I did, climbing in Alaska. We came very close to Chris's clothing, clothes but not the real things are very similar and it was cold. I suffered from the cold and heat and even some crew members have felt bad deal.
Sean Penn, which is why she takes part in a movie and what drives her to tell a story?
Sean Penn: The choices have changed as an actor in years, but now I think I fell in love with acting and then directing the choices in these fields are very similar in the way we choose a partner in life, you have to choose well if no one is left in the trap, so to speak.
Emile changed as the nature of your relationship with yourself?
Sean Penn: My perceptions and reactions to nature are different, they are more intense with regard to 'appreciation of it. The joy it gives me the nature, the ideas of exploration, see the enormity of the possibilities. The other side is a huge respect for the danger is always present in nature and when you see up close how fast can precipitate a situation that can be dangerous you can have a different perception of life, as far as my sense of mortality and I think many people can live their lives thinking that will never happen to them something bad but being in close contact with the nature of a slip can end your life or it can leave you in terms of disability so be very careful and take care of themselves in any way rely on themselves in a way.
What is the relationship you had with the family, sister, parents?
Sean Penn: The report has been trusted. We have spent the time to build over 10 years before I would allow it to make a film about their history but are open to me I have hosted at their home, told the story of their son and have been of great help to me
Emile Hirsch: I got to know Walt, Billie, the sister of Chris and I have found them intelligent and kind people. Their knowledge has enlightened me and made me realize who it was Chris. This is what influenced me in 'play the part was feeling the love he had for his sister, discover the heart of love, he speaks as if he were still alive. He has more respect for what you do when you realize that they are real people. I do not know, I know I saw the character differently when I realized that person was.
What about the wonderful interpretation of Hal Holbrook?
Sean Penn: It 's great. Nobody was better than him in doing that part. Not much else to say. My contribution was to have chosen. I said action and he did the rest. I like to feel that his work was appreciated.
