A FedEx executive seems to have his life planned ; a good job, a perfect girlfriend and a marriage on the way. All these are about to change as his plane crashes somewhere in the Pacific Ocean during a storm. Stranded on a deserted island, he must find a way to get back or face the fact that he will die there...
Robert Zemeckis trusts Tom Hanks once again and the result is a perfect mix drama and soft comedy. Trying to pry into the mind and feelings of a person alienated from his peers, Cast Away draws fine allegories between a cast way and each and every one of us that may be surrounded by people but still feel alone. Amusing humor and nice settings guarantee a good-mood film but the ocean of mixed feelings portrayed here will certainly allow you to connect more with the character. A fine drama film but not too dramatic!
Alongside Tom Hanks, Helen Hunt, as his girlfriend, has the only second bigger role. Hats off to Tom Hanks for managing to carry the weight of a film with basically only one character inside it. You can witness the stages of a man on the edge of losing his mind but never losing his hope. Besides, not many actors can make friends with a volley ball and still make you feel sad when they get separated.
Must watch this : right before you set off for vacation somewhere far, watch this and get emotionally prepared for anything. Enjoy with a cold beer of your choice and corn salad. Watch it with a friend (or more) and feel blessed that you may not be so alone in the universe after all.
