Tom Hanks is an acting genius. There is not one movie that I do not enjoy his performing. Cast Away is a marvelous film about a person having to deal with himself and with starting over and learning how to mm survive.

Tom Hanks has never made a bad movie ,hes such a phenominal actor . This movie teaches us , our wills , spiritual strength we can overcome anything. Tom befriended a soccerball I think . I had a Mother in law who would talk herself into things she didnt feel like doing,and I see some, matter a fact ,alot of the actors Im seeing in movies are looking in a mirror and talking themselves into things they didnt think they could do. A lesson to be learnef for all of us.

One stunning performance by Tom Hanks, as usual. With 90% of his character being performed while stranded on an island was absolutely awesome! But, the saddest part was when he returned to civilization only to learn that the love of his life had married someone else was heartbreaking.
