Sweet Smell of Success
The plot of The Sweet Smell of Success centres around a newspaper columnist who is dissatisfied with his sister’s new engagement with a jazz musician. He engages a public relations expert to try to separate the two.
Into The Wild
The film is nothing short of spectacular. Into the Wild is a compelling cinematic adaptation of Jon Krakauer’s same-titled book about Christopher McCandless’ adventure into the Alaskan wilderness. It bears the same yearning that McCandless had after graduating from law school, when he decided to leave his parents and privileged life behind in order to pursue pleasure via interaction with nature. The film Into the Wild, which addresses the need for freedom, appears to realize that goal on its own.
