Cast Away

Plot
An exploration of human survival and the ability of fate to alter even the tidiest of lives with one major event, Cast
Awaytells the story of Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks), a Federal Express engineer who devotes most of his life to his
troubleshooting job. His girlfriend Kelly (Helen Hunt) is often neglected by his dedication to work, and his compulsive
personality suggests a conflicted man. But on Christmas Eve, Chuck proposes marriage to Kelly right before
embarking on a large assignment. On the assignment, a plane crash strands Chuck on a remote island, and his fast-
paced life is slowed to a crawl, as he is miles removed from any human contact. Finding solace only in a volleyball
that he befriends, Chuck must now learn to endure the emotional and physical stress of his new life, unsure of when
he may return to the civilization he knew before. Cast Away reunites star Hanks with author  Robert Zemeckis.

Theme:

 New Life, Hope

o "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?"
 Loneliness, Community
o The 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)

Symbols: Fed Ex Cargo  are a symbol that the person who sent the package put on the box. The sender
was an artist, and the wings were HER symbol. Chuck (Hanks) never knew what they meant, either, he
just knew that they made this one box special, so he never opened it to see what it contained.
