I just finished watching Cast Away again. Do you ever notice how everyone says Castaway, like in Robinson Crusoe? Not Cast Away, as in thrown out? The title of the movie is Cast Away... kinda puts it in a different light.

Did anyone else relate to Tom Hanks character? I'm just wondering if that is something that everyone feels or if it is just me. Here is how I relate. Here is a guy, working very hard to further his career, which ultimately destroys his home life. So then he is stuck, on an island, with no-one. No family, no friends, no support and no JOB. Was it worth it? I don't think so. He goes a little insane. He gets snapped back into reality, to find the world has changed.

Is Smithers my island?


Drop me an email, let me know how you related to the movie. What parts you could identify with. I want to know if this is how everyone feels.
