"Writer, Craig Medred, believes that Into The Wild, both the book and the movie, fail to tell Chris McCandless' story because they ignore the fact that he may have been a schizophrenic."

yes he was fricken crazy.
that is completely wrong. both the book and movie explained his story. he was is no way schizophrenic. just because he wanted to excape society and live an adventures life doesnt mean he has a disease. he is perfectly normal and lived a better life then you ever will
First, Medred is an opinion columnist, not a psychologist. Second, Chris's actions might sound just plain stupid to some (probably most) but that doesn't mean he was schizophrenic. And third, Medred's article directs a lot of anger toward Krakauer, which makes me wonder if he's not a little jealous that he didn't think to write the book first.
