Review of Cast Away (2000) by Lilia A — 06 Jul 2016
This movie is absolutely fantastic.
I've seen other "trapped on an island" movies before this. After seeing this movie I realized how garbage those other movies are.
In those movies, the character(s) learn(s), within a few days, how to build shelter, get a stable source of food, and live well (not survive). With few injuries to boot.
Cast Away is realistic. Chuck Noland is an ordinary man with no survival skills. He struggles, he learns slowly, and he gets injured a lot. As well as slowly go insane. He is a survivor who never loses sight of the goal to get home.
This movie, this is what would happen if a regular ol person got trapped on an island. It's not idealism, it's realism. And that is what makes the movie so amazing.
