Stands the test of time...

Rating: 8/10 (6 January 2004)

Upon my second viewing of Cast Away on television I became sad... sad
because I had forgotten what an outstanding movie it truly is. To me, it's one of those films that can easily stand the test of time and no matter how many times you see it, it's STILL that good. Zemeckis is one of my favorite directors and just does an amazing job of using not only Tom Hanks, but the surrounding
environment, appropriate timing on music (and lack of), and overall camera
work to make you feel everything Chuck Noland does. And ultimately, that's
EXACTLY what a director should do. It's very well done.
