The scene with Alexander Supertramp (Christopher McCandless) implies that he is starting to appreciate the small things in life because he is finally free. Everything is now new to him that he is seeing everything through new eyes with a new outlook and perspective, even though he has seen it all before. He is becoming a new person now that he has left and shunned society. He is no longer restricted with his thought or sight.
This scene is really good for showing his progress as a person and who he is starting to become. He appreciates all of the little things in life now that he is living with the bare essentials and is all alone by himself, stuck with his own thoughts. I think without this scene that the audience wouldn’t be able to grasp or see the kind of changes that he is starting to go through. It plays a big part in the final changes of Christopher McCandless as he slowly becomes Alexander Supertramp.
By the end of the film he is no longer Christopher McCandless. After being alone for so long and convincing himself that he isn’t the person he used to be, he becomes and turns into Alexander.
The scene also shows the audience how self obsessed he became and how much the will to be alone and ‘free’ consumed his mind. This scene slightly shows that he became very self indulgent when it came to being alone and trying to avoid society.
