Cast Away: Difference between revisions

* [[Did Not Get the Girl]]: And it makes sense, too.

* [[Driven to Suicide]]: {{spoiler|It's gradually revealed that Noland tried to hang himself.}} {{spoiler|Planned, he planned to kill himself. Good thing he did a "dry run" first with a dummy, or else he would've just broken his legs and died of exposure or dehydration.}}

* [[Dyeing for Your Art]]: Tom Hanks grew a long, tangled beard and lost 30 pounds for his post-[[Time Skip]] appearance (and gained weight for the pre-timeskip appearance). While he was getting into shape, [[Robert Zemeckis]] shot ''[[What Lies Beneath]]'', Hanks produced ''[[Band of Brothers (TV series)|Band of Brothers]]'', and Helen Hunt shot ''[[Pay It Forward]]''.

* [[Exact Time to Failure]]

* [[Gallows Humor]]: With a rotten tooth Chuck mentions to Wilson that his dentist back home was Dr. Spaulding.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: He's well aware that fictional portrayals of being on a desert island aren't realistic, and have left him unprepared.

* [[Go Mad From the Isolation]]

* [[The Great Politics Mess-Up]]: At the beginning of the film, Chuck was setting up a Fed Ex office in Moscow, where they were still taking down pictures of Lenin and wowed by Snickers bars and [[Elvis Presley]] CDs.
