CAST AWAY

This is not a new one. I watched "Cast Away" on TV two years back... but thought still worth watching this. I actually wanted to buy "The Pursuit of Happyness" - but that is not being available, went for this. This is the second movie for the long weekend.

After FedEx systems engineer Chuck Noland is ripped out of his hasty life by the clock in a plane crash, he finds himself alone on the shores of a tropical island. First, frustration gets to him and then he realizes how little his chances are to ever get back to civilisation. Four years later, Chuck has learned very well how to survive on his own: mending his dental health, catching fish with a spear, predicting the weather with a selfmade calendar. A photograph of his girlfriend Kelly has kept his hopes alive all these years. Finally, Chuck takes the opportunity to take off for home: He sets off on a wooden raft with a sail that has washed ashore. When Chuck returns home, he finds that the lady who loved most, being married. But still they love eachother...
