Such as how Chuck handled seeing another person's face for the first time in four years, or his girlfriend's face when she got the news of his plane going down. But for every gripe I have, I can come up with a valid reason why director Zemeckis didn't choose that route. Cast Away is very carefully assembled art. Those quick to judge should take a second look. See the film with someone they couldn't bear to lose.
Hanks is, without a doubt, the best actor in Hollywood today.
He is the common man with common weaknesses. He has shown us more emotion with the turn of his head, or the glimmer of his eye than most actors can put forth in words and actions. Cast Away is a brilliantly quiet story that should raise a primal scream within all of us. This movie is mostly for grown ups because of the slow pace and mature themes. Kids will be bored and teens will more than likely want to poke fun at it.
