WILSON, I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY!!!

Rating: 8/10 (14 April 2020)

PROS:The film captures successfully the triumph of human spirit under difficult conditions. Tom Hanks gives an outstanding and dedicated performance as a man cut off from civilization and through his character's eyes are developed the themes of loneliness, loss and isolation. The little dialogue and the nonexistence of music, when the character is on the island, amplify this isolation. Robert Zemeckis manages to make a volleyball one of the most compelling characters of the film and symbolises the hope throught it. Also, it's worth mentioning that the way that he shoots the plane crash is very impressive. The relationship between Hanks and Hunt's characters is developed nicely so their reunion is emotional.
CONS:The movie could me trimmed down some minutes without loosing its charm. In addition, the connection of the first and the last minutes is a little off-putting and the symbolism that displays could be presented differently.
