Great Movie...BUT....

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2007)

Everyone in the cast did an excellent job, but really, Tom, you could not have been more insensitive to Ethan Embrey. The poor actor was not even given a name. You wrote this, and you kept referring to him as "the bass player." If you want to know who really sparkled in this movie with fantastic facial expressions and personality, it was Ethan. Tom Hanks may be a genius, but thank God he's not a doctor; his bedside manners would be awful. :) Have more compassion next time, Mr. Hanks. Besides, his character was a fun-loving guy who had a passion for being in the Army. It is odd that they mentioned the bass player's name who replaced Ethan in the movie, so what was the point, Tom? Oh, and by the way, I know why you selected the actor you did to portray "Guy." He has mannerisms like you and facial expressions too. You trained him well. So, tell us, why mention all the band members' names in the movie, and once... instead of saying Ethan's character's name, you said Faye? I wish you read these comments. You just might learn a thing or two. Anyway, loved the movie. The tunes reminded me of what the Beatles would write. Plus, did you HAVE to have the camera man when the band was live on television focus on "Wolfman," and then you have someone say..."too scary?" What is that all about? He is no more scary than Mick Jaggar!! But, let's face another fact; Mr. Hanks has always been typecast, so maybe this showed a more ruthless side to one of his many characters. After all, only Tom Hanks is arrogant enough to think he can pull off a movie like "Castaway."
