A better end for a perfect movie!

Rating: Null/10 (5 February 2001)

I went to the movies yesterday evening to build my own point of view about this movie. I had already heard 3 or 4 different opinions about it, disliking ones and `the-best-movie-I've-ever-seen' ones as well. Facing all that, I went there and checked it up with my own eyes.
Zemeckis and Hanks proved once more the amazing acting they can construct together! Tom was perfect, as usual, but with an important plus: he was acting (perfectly) without interacting! I believe he had to double his talent (if we consider a talent like that can be doubled, what I personally doubt about) to act without interacting, at least with another human being! I watched the movie understanding that the main message it wanted to pass was about a man's behavior on the total loneliness, fighting for keeping himself alive even though he had no reason to breath. It showed me how strong a human being can be and for how long we are probably able to stand being lonely without going crazy. The need Chuck reveals creating Mr. Wilson proves that a normal human being has to have someone by his side, especially in the difficult times and when it is about making an important decision. I kept asking myself: what would kill me first: thirsty, hunger or loneliness? For thirsty, Chuck had coconuts and rain; for hunger, Chuck had fish; and for loneliness Chuck had nothing except himself with a bloody face, a teddy bear a children sleeps with replaced by a `friendly bloody face volleyball' that helped him out as long as he had to keep himself alive on the island. Why do children like so much their teddy bears? Because they can feel protected and with company when their are lonely in bad at night. Wilson was one of the factors to keep Chuck alive, such as water and fish! Spoiler alert The movie would have been perfect for me if it could have ended up differently. I went back home imagining what end I would like this movies to have for it to be perfect, but I could not figure what kind of end it would be. Did anybody think about anything? I just know that it was not the one I've seen at the movies, with Tom Hanks in the middle of the road looking at the truck of a strange woman that happened to be the owner of the package he chose to be the one he had to keep intact while he was lost! That end made me so sad! I really wanted to see a better end for such an amazing movie. But afterwards, the movie's end did not jeopardize the majesty of the entire story and the magnitude of Hanks acting. I could feel my emotions coming out by watching Chuck's strength. Until yesterday I was sure about my wish for Geoffrey Rush winning the Oscar (Quills), but I have to admit now I believe Tom Hanks deserves the Oscar more than ever.
Today I have my own opinion about Cast away: a very good movie with a perfect performance by Tom Hanks, but with an end I still have to create in my own mind to make it one of the bests I have ever seen in my whole life.
