Into The Wild

Anonymous asked: there's one thing in the movie that I haven't been able to figure out. There are two instances when Chris's dad pulls up his pant legs to expose his ankles. Do you know why he does this??

Could you indicate exactly when this happens? I think I remember towards the ending during Chris’ final quote when his father walks out the home and falls down crying. Is that one of the occurrences? Maybe it’s just the actor’s way of portraying desperation rather than it being an actual symbolic message.
