How could the character of Tom Hanks in the movie "cast away" ever survived such a long span of time living alone and in a deserted island? I don't think I could live that life and survive. What do you think is the force which moved him to live everyday of his life and struggle to survive? What could have been his motivation in not giving up?

the movie cast away is really very nice, I like the Tom Hanks dialogue 'I have made fire' his acting was really very good, and the feelings he create that time, i'm really excited.

I must first that this movie must have had the biggest net profit that year!!!! I mean for most of the movie its one actor and barely any script. Whoever wrote this movie was a genius to pull it off that way too. I don't really think its a tragic movie. It shows determination. Chuck's (Tom Hanks) love for his fiancee is the main thing that kept him going. And "Wilson" is the only friend he had in the world for four years. I would have went crazy. But Chuck was determinied to get back to civilization (Although I don't know how he was going to explain his "new friend" had he made it! lol). But I think this movie shows great character in strength, both for staying alive on the island, and moving on once he realized things had gone on without him back in civilization.

There are a lot of things. One is his love for his wife motivated him to keep on. You can't really tell what you can do unless you get to that situation. For us, watchers, the psychological effect is harder to bear than the actual pain because we can't seem to reach the degree of loneliness he was sufferring in the movie. And we can only imagine. There are more tragic movies that I have watched and each time I am always left mentally tormented for a few days sometimes even months. The movies about holocaust. They are movies that I want to avoid because of the mental torture that they cause me afterwards. But I try not to keep it to myself or I would go insane myself. I have to share my pain and unload my mind of those unpleasant thoughts. Afterwards I would feel better.
