Cast Away (2000)


































  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.

Forrest Gump (1994), by Silent Guardian


































  The interesting story of "Forrest, Forrest Gump" as he used to say, born with mental retardation and leg problems. Doctors advise his mother that "he just ain't like the other kids" but she thinks otherwise.Forrest goes to school, meets Jenny (the one and only girl of his life), goes to college, plays for the football team and then Vietnam! He parts ways with Jenny and  from there Forrest lives his Odyssey : Medal of Honor, Ping Pong Championships, Shrimp Company "Bubba-Gump" ,running throughout the States etc. In a sudden twist, Jenny comes back to his life and out she goes again!
  Ah, Forrest Gump... What can we say about this film?? My most favorite one by far... It teaches us about love, willingness, true things that value and have no "value" such as: true friendship, determination and dumb intelligence. Director Robert Zemeckis gives us this masterpiece, filled with comedy and drama in different combinations! "Lieutenant Dan got me invested in some kind of fruit company. So then I got a call from him, saying we don’t have to worry about money no more. And I said, that’s good! One less thing." 
  Tom Hanks in the role of his life, though he "never  went full retard" and Robin Wright always playing "Catch me if you can" with him. Filled with social messages and advice on a happier life (wisdom , dumb intelligence,success and how to handle it,love and friendship) all bound together by the most astonishing soundtrack ever. 
Must watch this: with your friend parissleep, or any other best friend you have, laughing, eating nachos and fonzies, with natural orange juice on a summer afternoon.Feel happy until the next bad moment comes. When it does, blast that shit and feel happy again. 
Alternate must watch this: sometime in future, with your kids, and your wife laying on the bed... After you have educated your children well, go to bed with your wife, and fondle her breasts and her curvy spots, making her feel sexy as Jenny. And then remind her that, this life is only for once. We have to be happy, no matter what.
***Specially devoted to: parissleep and my family, which may have been apart for 7 years now, but I will never forget the nights we're watching this film together, and the messages that I got, especially from my father.
