Speaking of it, Wilson was by far the best actor in the movie. “How about waiting?”, I would say, but then I seem to be too romantic to think that constant availability is a requirement for love.Īnyway, we have all experienced this in real life, we don’t need a pointless film to show us what it’s like to be punched around like a volleyball.

“Well, what was I supposed to do? You didn’t message me anymore,” she will ask, putting the blame on you. It doesn’t matter if you were stranded on an island or in prison, in either case without a phone. All this “love of my life” bla bla doesn’t count for nothing if you ain’t there. That, I am sad to say, is what always happens in real life. Because the girlfriend keeps telling him that he is the love of her life, but, once he doesn’t come home from the plane trip, she gets lonely, marries and has children.

And a lot of the fish will eat you before you can eat the fish.Īnd why, for fried fish’s sake, can’t we have one disaster movie without a love story? Aren’t plane crashes and islands and sharks enough? Although, I have to concede one thing: The love story was at least realistic. There is not enough rain every day to have sweet water. I have had to find water and food on islands, and I can tell you: Banana trees don’t produce new bananas every morning. Let me call bullshit on that, because I’ve been sitting on an island for months and I haven’t gotten a single package! (Although people know where I am and I have a wishlist of books.) That’s the point of the whole movie! How would anyone send him packages? This is not how FedEx, any other mail carrier or oceanic water currents work. He is supposed to be on a deserted island, with nobody knowing where he is. Even when Chuck is stranded on the island, packages continue to arrive. The references seemed to increase as my Robinsonade persisted and my beard grew.įinally, I felt like I had to watch the movie.įirst of all, is this some bloody FedEx commercial? It sure seems like it. As I am currently stranded on a far-away island myself, people have been making references to “Cast Away”, Chuck Noland and Wilson.
