Mikis, an Oscar-winning director, and Tom Hanks, a two-time Oscar-winning actor, jointly launched the adventure drama "The Bone of a Desert Island" to explore the beauty and cruelty of fate in a unique way.
Tom Hanks plays Chuck Nolan, the business engineer of FedEx. His personal life and career are controlled by the clock. He flies around all day and has to devote himself to his work. And this job is quite similar to his distorted humanity. Every moment of his life is full of plans, in order to achieve the greatest possible success through overloaded arrangements.
Although Chuck can "fix" anything at work, his personal life is another matter. The nature of Chuck's job makes him spend little time with his long-time girlfriend. Chuck's girlfriend with strong personality is played by Oscar-winning actress helen hunt.
When Chuck was left on a remote island, he was in an unimaginable environment far from the world. His busy life has also come to an end, not only losing things commonly used in daily life, but also losing contact with the outside world. Slowly, Chuck changed physically and emotionally, and he had to work hard to live.
Without the pressure and troubles of modern life, four years on a desert island has profoundly changed Chuck's view of success and life itself.
In 2000, when I first heard that Tom Hanks was filming The Life of a Desert Island, I thought he was stupid: Who would be interested in the story of Robinson Crusoe with such old teeth? Of course, the psychology of the American audience is elusive. The set of Star Wars makes people feel ridiculous and naive, but they come out to join in the fun every time they shoot. I think Spider-Man is only suitable for children, but people easily climbed to the fifth place in the United States in such a depressed economy and sold more than 400 million dollars. If there is no concept of $400 million, just think about the huge annual profit of China Telecom, which is only $700 million. Therefore, living in other people's turf, I will never have a say, but I am not interested in waiting and seeing, just waiting and seeing what will happen.
Then the movie came out. Before the release, Tom Hanks went to various talk shows to sell, acting like a savage. When he finally lit the fire, he beat his chest and shouted, I made a fire, I made a fire! That paragraph. Generally speaking, the clips on the talk show are one of the best places in the film. For a minute, I looked at Tom Hanks's acting skills and admired them. It was absolutely amazing. But even so, it did not arouse my interest in this film: in my impression, the film has always been attractive with the plot. What's the point of knowing the process and ending of a story without reading it? Then came the 200 1 Oscar Award, and Tom Hanks won the best actor for this film. Watching all kinds of movie clips, I have been thinking: If he is Huang, others are Ouyang Ke at best, and only others can be equal to him. Once you climb to the top, you will never be synonymous with success at first sight, because you have to participate in competitions such as Huashan Sword Lifetime Achievement Award, and you always have to participate in the competition to get married. So do you want others to get married? Sure enough, he did it honestly from beginning to end under the stage. Since then, throwing away has been in my heart.
After more than a year, suddenly one day a friend asked me if I wanted Cast Away, which was very nice. I believe that his eyesight, though as big as 1G, also comes from him. I've always been like this. I knew nothing about it until I saw it with my own eyes. It seems that I started reading this novel after it was popular in the streets for three or four years. I didn't know that dancing lightly would eventually lead to illness and death, but I was moved after watching it. I never thought it was a comedy until I watched The Life of a Desert Island. As a result, I almost burst into tears, and then I wasted my time after reading it.
This movie has been wonderful since Chuck went to a desert island. From picking up junk boxes to traveling around the island to find the living; From trying to smash coconuts to catching crabs; From painfully burying a friend's body to being forced to make a hanging rope for yourself, every place makes you feel ups and downs. Survival is the center of the film: when a little light shines through the place where the sea meets the sky, it must ignite the fire of hope in your heart, right? Don't you think your thighs are a little numb when the overwhelming waves drag Chuck into the sea and hit the coral hard? When Chuck knocked out his teeth on the skating knife, did you feel that his mouth was a little closed and his hands trembled a little? Making a fire is the key plot of this movie. When the bonfire is finally lit, you must have bent your eyes with laughter, and finally feel that his hope of living is no longer a moon in the water and a flower in the mirror.
If the film only talks about survival, it is better to watch the documentary Discovery. The center of a deep film is always around human nature. Wilson was born in the fire. At first, I thought it was just a prop to prevent the film from becoming a silent film. Later, after watching, I understood why Chuck suddenly threw himself back into the battle of making a fire after having Wilson: while solving the problem of food and clothing, human beings must have friendship to avoid depression. When you lose Wilson four years later, if you think it's just a volleyball, you won't be tempted at all; However, if you feel that you have lost an old friend who has been with you all day, experienced all the thorns and listened to you for four years, it is also painful. But above friendship, there is the greatest feeling of mankind. I have to admit that what really supports Chuck's life is his deep love for his wife, so he will never lose that pocket watch and that badge. So when he finally really came close to the hope of salvation, it was not Wilson, not FedEx, but his beloved wife Kelly; Therefore, when he really returned to the modern society, he had to force himself to change from the hope of survival to the despair of not bringing his beloved wife back to him, thus making the audience feel that the film is meaningful.
Some details in the film are exquisitely designed: for example, a gift box for his wife; For example, the FedEx box painted with angels has never been opened, and finally it is sent to the destination with the wings of angels; For example, after Chuck returned to modern society, he waited for a while to watch the crab's long legs gently press the lit lighter on the table, which made people look around with a light smile, as if he had just returned from an adventure in the desolate wilderness and had to sigh the progress of civilization.
After talking about the movie itself for a long time, it is interesting to say: for well-known reasons, it is more and more common to insert advertisements in various movies. This FedEx, for example, undeniably played an important role in the interlude, but it almost usurped the role of the host. Ten years ago, it must have been a fabricated company name, but times are different now. It also reminds me of watching the movie Tomb Raider. After the fierce battle, a UPS suddenly came to deliver the courier. At that time, the cinema was in an uproar: it was a bit too much. And that volleyball, you can name it whatever you want, because it's a little creepy to call it Wilson over and over again after taking a close-up of the packaging and trademark Wilson.
After watching the movie, I finally want to say that "Cast Away", with a predictable ending, won the second place at the box office in 2000, ranking 22nd in American history at that time, with more than 230 million US dollars.
