The AT movie was a wonderful movie. It was more informative than I thought it would be. Unlike the other movie we watched on the AT this one served more as a guide to the trail than a documentary of what goes on the trail. The other movie we watched was a lot more personal. It showed one man’s journey on the trail and who and what he meet on the trail. What I was most shocked about was the fact that Virginia makes up twenty-five percent of the trail. While watching this movie though it did make me consider wanting to be a thru-hiker. I have been considering doing this but I had no idea when to start or what I would need. After watching the video I did decide that I would want to be a thru-hiker. What I have to decide now is when to hike. I think that in the future if these videos are shown the documentary should be showed before the more personal documentary on the thru-hiker’s journey. That way one can view it objectively and then subjectively. When I began taking this class I had very little information on hand about my surroundings. As I have stayed in the class longer I have been able to learn more about nature and the beauty that lies beneath it. These two movies on the AT only improved that for me.
