Yeah. I know I was kind of hoping for some flashbacks of the guy too, but the story he tells is pretty intriguing alone....to me atleast

yea actually i loved the movie, the story that was told was very attention grabbing.

im probably going to pick up the book assuming that it is, rather than a tale he tells his colleagues, that it is actually him going along on his journey.


EDIT: turns out i screwed up and there is no book =(

Hahaha, great minds think alike

After watching the movie, I was sure that it must have been based on a book...sadly, no. I agree, the book probably would have gone into much greater detail about his journey's and such, creating a visual image that the movie didnt show.

Apparently the movie was created by some guy and he finished it on his deathbed. The budget for the film was $200,000 (which is by no means a lot). But it was still a great movie.

Im glad you decided to take a chance and watch the movie
