I was attending graduate school in San Francisco when the movie came out. Both professors and students said it was a "must see." When I told them the reaction of most people in Alaska, as expressed by many of the comments here, they were horrified that Alaskans didn't see the importance of the philosophy behind what McCandless had done, instead focusing on his stupidity and how unprepared he was. I agree the bus should be moved and adventurers who get lost and have to be rescued should have to pay for the rescue, whether it's going to see the bus or on any other trek through our Great Land. The Alaskan wilderness isn't a place for the unprepared or faint of heart. I know personally, having gotten lost in Denali for a day when I was 18, Fortunately the friends I was with found me: but I was pretty scared and have made sure it never happened again.
