Today was another day...had my dinner early...nothing else to do..so why not watch a movie. We decided to watch Cast Away....
Cast Away- Its a story of persistent hope, adventure, spirit to live!!!
Chuck (Tom Hanks) ,A FedEx System Engineer,works round the clock, giving more importance to live and die by time. He gets on a plane for work, promises her lover that he would be right back soon. The real story starts now, when his plane crashes in the sea. He somehow manages to land on a deserted island…The scenes especially after the plane crash- floating across the ocean; violent storm and roaring thunder were really amazing.
Once after he lands on that island, he seeks help for the first few days, but nothing turns right for him. As days turn by, He finds ways to live and he needs to –by consuming coconut, crab and fishes. FedEx packages that floated to island help him considerably. Few to mention-The skater shoes to cut, the net on a beautiful dress to catch fishes , collecting rain water to drink. He relentlessly works to create fire with things he have. He finds a companion-Wilson, a volleyball
1500 days pass by-Now he has his own ways of leading his life until one day, he finds a way to escape. He builds a boat, starts his journey and escapes.
Things are not the same in his homeland, where his lover is married, has her own family. She is torn between her lover (who was considered dead) and her family. But he accepts she needs to go back to her family .
He is ready to accept the life as it comes- the greatest lesson he has ever learnt from his experiences.
The silence in the film once after he lands in the island is not boring, but the scenes are too lengthy.The silent conclusion of the film is too empty!!!
Needless to say, Tom Hanks has acted out well
