UFS 211 8th Task

This week task was to retell the movie that we have watched. So, 'Cast Away' was a great movie starred by Tom Hanks (Chuck Noland). He was a FedEx systems engineer. During his plane trip to Malaysia to delivery the FedEx packages, the plane then caught in a horrendous storm and crashes into the Pacific. Chuck was the only survivor from the plane crash and he finds out himself alone on the shores of a tropical island. Initially, frustration gets to him and realizes how little his chances are to ever get back to civilization. But after 4 years being alone in an isolated island away from his beloved girlfriend, Kelly, he then realize he had learned very well how to survive on his own: mending his dental health, catching fish with a spear, predicting the weather with a self-made calendar. When Chuck finally sees his chance he rafts out on the ocean and fortunately is spotted. After a bittersweet welcome-back reception, Chuck finds Kelly has married another man and has children. But he is missing more than her. For all his life his objective was work. For four years, it was survival. Now Chuck is compelled to live. If you asked me if I were the main character and experiencing the same situation like him, most of the time I will cry because I was afraid to be alone. I think I may not be as tough as him to survive in an isolated island. Or maybe will die alone in that island. I do respect his character in that movie. The courage that he own has lead him back to where he belongs. The movie has also taught us nothing is impossible in this life as long as you work hard on it.
