Nothing was really spoiled. She wrote a book about her journey, so obviously she doesn't die. The rest of what was said about her trying to escape a lifestyle and getting support for her journey are vague enough that it doesn't tell you much about what happens in the movie.

The determination as to whether a particular piece of information about a film is a spoiler rests soley with the spoilee, not the spoiler. One man's review is another man's spoiler ridden diatribe. There are obviously various levels of spoiling - from egregious (it's a sled), to major plot point (he dies in the beginning), to a tad above trivial (one shot seems like the camera shooting from below the floor).
As to Wild, I'll add it to my Netflix dvd queue as soon as they show it.

I thought some of the editing was disjointed and some scenes were just too long for what they were supposed to add to the narrative...
Found Laura Dern very affecting as her mother but the idea that anyone who loved a horse would let it live with a condition like the horse in the movie seemed very contradictory to her mother's love of the horse...
maybe accurate but wondered if it was portrayed in more extremis to mirror her mother's physical suffering...
while I freely admit I could never do what she did--nor would I ever want to--I hope that people with serious psychological problems don't see this and think they can do something similar and be free from their problems...
I would think that was part of the mystique of the book--in this narcissistic age--that YOU can cleanse yourself from problems w/o help if you "tough it out" doing some type of self-cleansing effort...
I really want to see this - loved the book.
As an aside - just before this came out; a friend of mine's daughter decided to spend the summer hiking the applachian trial prior to deciding whether or not to return to college . . consider a trade school, etc.
Her Mom joined her halfway through (she's a teacher). I thought it was awesome BUT I know I could never do it.
Can spending time in nature with physical activity help you get your head on straight? My belief is absolutely.
Serious psychological problems . . maybe see a counselor first!
As Thoreau proved a hundred years ago--
but psychological problems (addiction)???? Much more unlikely...
as "Into the Wild" proved--that guy had serious mental health issues that going into the wilderness just prolonged and enabled his (basicly) suicide
