Take The Time For It...

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2002)

Cast Away is one of the better movies Hollywood released in the
last couple of years. However, reading some of the comments
posted here by other people, it looks like not everyone here "got it".
This movie, in the most part, is aboult desolation and what it does
to a person. So in order to appreciate this story, take the time to
watch it. Sit down and relax, unplug the phone and other
irritations...
A lot of people have said how good of an actor Tom Hanks was in
this piece, and he really was. Others have said how good Bob
Zemeckis's direction was, and it is. But what stands out for me so
much is Bill Broyles script. It is very clever and wraps up all
storylines neatly without getting to preachy. A very, very sound and
quality script that unfortunatly cannot be appreciated by everone.

*SPOILERS* PS- Some asked earlier what the point was of the package
delivered in Russia. It's from the woman Tom Hanks delivers the
final package to.
And why does Tom Hanks keep one package closed. Because it
becomes his goal in life. To deliver that package. Not because the
package is so important, but to motivate him to "keep breathing"
just as Wilson is substitute for his concious and gut.
