The last hour of Cast Away is devastating and beautiful

I wouldn’t say this is an underrated film because lots of people like it. But boy does it get me every time I watch it.

This time it has me thinking about how bad things can happen to anyone, that aren’t necessarily anybody’s fault. Things that leave us stranded to do the best we can just to get by, with no guarantee of survival.

And how sometimes we might get another chance at a better life, but we have to leave behind the things we clung to in our desperation (Wilson).

How we all have control over our actions, but sometimes we’re at the mercy of our circumstances.

Tomorrow the Sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?

Great movie.
