Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 22, 2020. Michael Kleinschrodt Times-Picayune. "Cast Away" is an exceptionally well-crafted exploration of the survival of the human...
I love Cast Away. One of my favorites. Easily one of the best of both Hanks' and Zemeckis's careers. And the last 30 or so minutes is a big reason why. That haunting, achingly beautiful music that doesn't sound off until he leaves the island. Repeated in his reunion with/goodbye to Kelly.

When we first meet Noland, he’s in a Moscow warehouse, lecturing a group of FedEx employees on how to meet deadlines more efficiently. Called away on a sudden work emergency to Malaysia on Christmas night, Chuck slips his long-time girlfriend Kelly (Helen Hunt) an engagement ring, kisses her goodbye, and promises that he’ll be “right back.” Instead...
There’s something profound about watching Noland, a man once ruled by clocks and deadlines, take the first step towards his own survival by making a fire – something he likely hasn’t had to do since boyhood. For anyone stuck at home and feeling sorry for themselves during the pandemic, it’s a poignant reminder of the film’s central theme of discove...

Those of us too afraid to visit a dentist’s office while the coronavirus rages might not want to duplicate Noland’s barbaric solution to DIY tooth extraction, using an unorthodox rock and ice-skate-blade combo with no numbing agent. The takeaway here: when you’re way out of your comfort zone, you’ve got to ad...
(Photo by ©20th Century Fox Film Corp.) Noland escapes his captivity on a homemade raft with a jury-rigged “sail” fashioned from the detritus of a portable toilet that came in with the tide. A testament not only to his ingenuity and resourcefulness, but his will to survive at all costs.
Noland didn’t have to just survive physically, he had to survive mentally as well. That meant having a friend he could confide in – even if it was an inanimate object. Wilson the deflated volleyball, unfairly snubbed by the Oscars, helps Noland maintain his sanity amidst the endless monotony… another excellent parallel to our current predicament. T...
In this wonderfully written monologue, Noland looks back on his ordeal and reaffirms the inner strength and determination needed to keep going when all appears lost. It’s something to keep in mind in present times as a glimmer of hope – in the form of a vaccine – appears over the horizon. Cast Away’s tale of a modern-day Robinson Crusoe struck a po...
