A good love story

Rating: Null/10 (11 March 2002)

I was shocked again by those stupid moviegoers.
Cast Away is a love story. It just echoes a century old theme: is there a one love made for you in the world and will you find your other half in your life time.
The Chinese fables have an interesting character: old moon man. Every new baby is born, the old moon man ties an invisible thread at his toe, and he ties the other end at the toe of his true love. Eventually, the invisible thread will bring them two together. They'll live happily after forever.

The parcel was the invisible thread in the movie. Tom survived plan crash, isolation in an island for 4 years, drifting in a pile of woods in the deep ocean. His motivation might appear to come from the picture of his wife. But the real force at work is the power of invisible thread: the parcel with logo of wings.
It's a love story like the `Sleepless in Seattle' from a different angle.
