A man alone on a island is a decent idea, obviously. But it doesn't work here. The problem is that it is excessively real and that isn't interesting in this case. We do want to see ourself, and we do that in Tom, but we also want escapism in movies. At least if we happen to be on an deserted island, which i furthermore can't imagine many people have been. Romanticizing is the key, I believe.
