Viewing Notes
Revisited this one for my 20 in 20 mini project mainly b/c I hadn’t logged it here so I knew it had been a long time since I’ve seen it. Damn, this is a great movie. I’m sure I thought it was really good when I first saw it but it’s a gutpunch in that final act after Tom Hanks returns to “normal life” and attempts to reacclimate. I was in tears through most of that particularly when he meets Helen Hunt again. Forgot how much of the first act really establishes so much that pays off emotionally in the final act.
My only nitpick is that Hanks would’ve been more skinny if he really really trying to survive for 5 years on that island. He’s not as skinny as I remembered. But it’s not a big deal of course.
