Watched Wild a few days ago. I too was disappointed, no real point to the whole trek, just some vague find-myself search to drive the plot.

Also a pet peeve of mine, is when an actor has an important thing to say ,they often talk so low, mumble, or whisper you can not understand them.Seems like today’s directors never tell their actors, SPEAK UP!

Directors also seem to overlook the fact many of us will see movies at home. Even watching on a 55 inch TV, the fonts used on the poets quotes in Wild, were impossible to read. Take care, Brother.
