    I read the book, it’s hardly a snap. The guy drinks his own piss and eats potatoes fertilized by his own shit for like two years.

      It’s FICTION. Not real. Never happened. All events portrayed in this movie aren’t real.

      It is good fiction - possibly the best sci-fi movie to come along in a while, but nevertheless it’s still fiction.

        No shit? Do you think I thought it was a documentary?

        I read interviews with the author where he goes into detail on his research to make the main character’s survival plausible, and it’s fascinating stuff.
