There is a great deal of narration in the movie, much of which helps to move the plot along. A lot of this dialog is from Carine, Chris’s sister. We get a number of details from her point-of-view. What do you think of this strategy? Does the narration help to explain the story better…or does it stray from the facts of the book. Give an example or two.
On the one hand, we can understand McCandless from their point-of-view; on the other hand, the director can save some money for shooting that scenes.
