Cast Away (2000)

bulletInformation at Internet Movie Database

bulletHollywood Jesus visual review
bullet "Cast Away and Some Questions to Ponder," Steve Lansingh, TheFilmForum: Christian Conversation about the Movies.
bullet Movie Parables review.
bullet Looking Closer, review by Jeffrey Overstreet, "searching for truth, beauty and meaning in the movies."
bulletThemes
bulletNew Life, Hope
bullet"One day logic was proven all wrong because the tide lifted, came in, and gave me a sail. And now, here I am. I'm back. In Memphis, talking to you. I have *ice* in my glass. And I've lost her all over again. I'm so sad that I don't have Kelly. But I'm so grateful that she was with me on that island. And I know what I have to do now. I have to keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?"
bulletLoneliness, Community
bulletThe entire movie "Cast Away" is an excellent portrayal of loneliness and our need for relationship.  The scene just before Tom Hanks is rescued from his raft shows the dilemna of whether he should risk his life to save "Wilson" (his only friend - a volleyball).  A very moving portrayal of how important relationship is to mankind. (Troy Hodgson)
bullet Wilderness/Journey
bullet Finding oneself lost in the wilderness and the journey to get back home again.
