Cast Away: Difference between revisions

[[Tom Hanks]] tries to make a dramatic and emotional movie wherein 80% of its 2 1/2-hour length is him, alone, on a remote island, talking to a volleyball.

 

* [[Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder]]: Interestingly, {{spoiler|Kelly was fully willing to drop her new husband for Chuck, but [[Did Not Get the Girl|both Chuck and Kelly realize that being together would be impossible]].}}

** It's an interesting bit of trivia that according to the commentary that the scene {{spoiler|was the part of the movie that confused watchers between the ages of 14 and 20 in the test audience. They were either too accustomed to the idea of the protagonist [[Happily Ever After|getting the girl in the end]] or weren't yet emotionally ready to grasp the sheer complexity of adult relationships.}}

* [[Say My Name]]: {{spoiler|"WIIILLLLLLSOOOOOONNNNNNN! I'm sorry, Wilson!" Yes, only Tom Hanks can yell that line, believably, at a volleyball}}, and not make it [[Narm|sound stupid.]]

* [[Scenery Porn]]: But totally necessary, so we the audience know just how alone and isolated Chuck Noland really is when he's on that island.

* [[Setting Update]]: ''Cast Away'' is ''[[Robinson Crusoe]]'' <small>IN THE MID-LATE 90S WITH A VOLLEYBALL AS FRIDAY!</small>

* [[Sole Survivor]]: Chuck.
