Wilson should have gotten Best Supporting Actor

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2006)

This movie has fantastic emotional highs and lows. Nothing in this movie ripped my heart out more than when Wilson washed away at sea. Even if he was just a volleyball, he really deserved best supporting actor. The other fascinating prop in this movie was the package he never opened, the one with the wings painted on it. I always wonder what was in it. And it inspires his escape raft, which has got to be the best moment of the movie, when the "sail" whips up and he escapes the reef that has trapped him. This movie really is a fabulous exploration of how a man can change. It seems to touch people on many levels. Rent it with a box of tissues.
