Cast Away Movie Critique

Cast Away was a very(prenominal) interesting survival experience. coif a human being that runs his flavor by time and lives a controlled and planned life to the second and put him on a remote, lifeless island which causes him to live his life completely opposite from the way he would if he were main office. It was man vs. nature as retch Noland (played by Tom Hanks) on an island al iodine for the majority of the movie. Chuck Noland is a Fed-Ex systems engineer. The night after proposing to his girlfriend Kelly (played by Helen Hunt), he gets on a plane that is carrying a cargo that he is escorting.How ironic is it that he told Kelly that he would be right back and then ends up taking an extreme nosedive in the ocean. Luckily, Noland washes up on the shore of a remote island. For the side by side(p) four years of his life, he is on the island alone with his only friend being a bloody volleyball he names Wilson. Then one sidereal day, a wall of a portapotty washes up on shore, a nd he is able to use it to list some sort of raft to hopefully get him home or at least far enough to be noticed and venture the roaring sea once again.After much physical stress and the loss of his best friend Wilson, he is saved by a passing boat, and is returned home as somewhat of a hero and viewed as the pinnacle of intensity and survival. Only thing is that the only thing that pushed him to survive for four years is now married with children putting both Kelly and Chuck in a very awkward position. Chuck Noland kept his sanity with his repeated conversations with Wilson, the bloody volleyball. Before then he seemed to be going insane without having someone to babble out to and attempted to kill himself.There was one major flaw, in my opinion, in this film. The movie skips ahead four years at one point without any commentary of what happens during that long span of time. I understand four years is a lot of time to cover but a little explanation of let on moments wouldve do ne the movie better. Maybe, they shouldve showed the development of his survival skills and new-found instincts. Also Kelly in the beginning didnt seem to be as important and hold much of an doctor on his life but I would just mark this as a case of not knowing what you have until you dont have it anymore.Cast Away was an amazing film with a phenomenal actor who was entrusted with an entire movie (or at least most of it) on his shoulders. The transition to the island was envisioned as a hard one as Chuck Noland celebrated the feat of making fire on the island, something we take for granted every day as we turn on our stoves without a thought of ever losing it. Noland represents the average man who is placed in an unfortunate situation but is able to make the best of it and eventually solve his major, life changing problem. I felt Hanks did a flawless job of depicting the life of a business man gone wrong.
