I don't see Chris as a hero, but anyone who walks away from wealth and security to find themselves, (or enlightenment) possesses the kind of courage few in the West possess today. Was he a little too careless? Yes.
I love the movie because I can live vicariously thru it, I can wander the great wide open without the real-time consequences or hardships. It's shot so beautifully, on location in the exact spots Chris went. Do you know how hard that is to pull off w a full crew and equipment? Not to mention Sean Penn had to wait 10 YEARS to get approval from his family to make the film.
The great irony is that Chris, in the end, realized, happiness isn't real unless it's SHARED. He realized this too late.
I have watched this movie more than any other film. There's that caged tiger in all of us. We must let it run free sometimes.
