"Cast Away" stars Tom Hanks stars with Helen Hunt in a film that will no doubt be nominated for numerous Academy Awards. Hanks takes the lead role of US postal worker Chuck Nolan, and Hunt stars as his fiancée. The film starts off very slow, but the acting is first class and this helps you to build up empathy for Hanks character. Nolan has the enviable job of delivering FedEx mail to and from Russia to the US, which is when the film really starts to shine. While flying to Russia, Nolans plane gets caught up in a storm and of course and crashes into the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The level of detail here is breathtakingly scary, definitely not a film to watch before you fly. Anyway Nolan eventually gets washed up on a deserted Island in the Middle of nowhere, with only a couple of FedEx packages to keep him company.
The film follows Nolans struggle to stay alive, with nobody to help him he has to use whatever he can find just to eat, drink and avoid boredom. Anyone who thinks it would be a Fantasy to live on a desert Island, should see this film. The film is incredibly cinematic in its use of darkness and silence. The film highlights how dependent modern man is on technology, even building a fire is beyond Nolans capabilities. After spending four years on the Island Nolan finds himself drifting into madness and regularly has conversations with a football. It eventually becomes apparent to Nolan that nobody will ever find him, and that he has to make it off the Island himself. The ending to this film is suprising, and thought provoking. The only complaint I could make is that the film is a bit long and so is not for anyone with a short attention span, however if you enjoy a thought provoking movie with a story line then this is for you. A throughly enjoyable film, and highly recommended.
