Almost the entirety of the movie’s emotion is sparked by Hanks. A role which demands the highest caliber performance from an actor. For nearly three- quarters of the film, Hanks is the only one on screen.
#CAST AWAY STREAMING MOVIE#
The movie is undoubtedly one of the key contributors to Tom Hanks’ legacy. Not only does “Cast Away” tell Noland’s struggle of survival, but it incorporates us into it, making us feel like we are also on the island. Never can a man’s life outlook turn 180-degrees as quickly as Noland’s.
To examine Noland’s life from the beginning to the end of the film is quite astonishing. The FedEx plane Noland boards goes down somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, and he appears to be the lone survivor. We see it more often than not in these kinds of films a jerk treats his colleagues poorly and ends up experiencing some sort of life-changing disaster. At this point, we truly understand what kind of a man Chuck Noland is, and it will take a disaster to change him. While she gets him a heartfelt family heirloom, he gets her a pager, journal and bathroom towels, all gifts with minimal sentimental value. He exchanges gifts with his wife (Helen Hunt) on the tarmac just before boarding his plane. Obsessed with meeting business deadlines, Noland spontaneously decides to take a trip at Christmas time. Noland works in a high position with FedEx as a systems engineer, and he cares more about business than his friends, family or anything else in life. Tom Hanks’ pompous character, Chuck Noland, finds himself in this position after becoming the sole survivor of a FedEx plane crash. When a man finds himself stripped of life’s essentials in the middle of an island in the Pacific Ocean, he must rely on his instincts and on-the-go thinking. Whether we’re crying out “Wilson!” or maniacally screaming, “Fire!”, we’re paying homage to a great American film. Its quotable dialogue weaves its way into everyday conversation. That being said, anyone who even knows of Tom Hanks is familiar with “Cast Away”. “Cast Away” is one of those movies that nearly everyone has seen at least once.
