A Normal Guy... A Stranded Guy... A Sad Guy

Rating: Null/10 (21 October 2002)

This movie is one of the most saddest movies I have ever seen. The movie starts out with our lead actor Tom Hanks as Chuck Noland, a complicated Fed-Ex Manager (or someone who dictates to the Fed-Ex employees) who lives by the clock. His busy time dependent life suddenly comes crashing down with him in a plane being the lone survivor on an uninhabited island. Tom Hanks then gets to experience a new life where time has no influence. While on the island you get to slowly suffer with Tom Hanks as he tries to live on the island. When he finally makes a tough decision of leaving or staying on the island after four years, he chooses to leave the island in hope of getting back to a different world. After 4 miserable years Tom finally sets sail on a long little expedition on a tiny boat made out of trees and logs. He gets spotted by a ship and then gets brought back to his hometown of Tennesse. While on the island he wants nothing but to get back to his girlfriend Kelly Frears (Helen Hunt). When he gets back he learns his dentist, Dr. Spalding has married his wife and he has lost her all over again. At the end of the movie, he stand in the middle of a 4-way interesection puzzled on the next move he should make. This movie is sad but gives you a concept of a normal life turning sour, and never becoming good again.
