Reply to Now that it has been awhile what is your opinion on the Avatar series? by qaz3d25

If the objective of a movie is to feel as though you have escaped reality for even a few minutes. Avatar does a good job of catching the minds eye and holding it. Much of the story is a foreign environment this holds the eye and allows your mind to hold on to the story.

The story is Fern Gulley, an older animated video and graphic novel.

Reply to The last hour of Cast Away is devastating and beautiful by PastMiddleAge

Very well said. It is such a contemplative film, especially at the end. Some of the final scenes are utterly heartbreaking, but the film also leaves you with a sense of hope and inspiration.

Also, Tom Hanks's acting in some of the final scenes is the best acting I've ever seen. I'm thinking specifically of the scene where he's supposed to be meeting Helen Hunt's character but her husband shows up instead. The emotion that is communicated by his face alone is almost bringing me to tears just thinking about it.

One of my absolute favourites!

It didn’t really hit me the first time I saw it but it hit me hard the last time I watched it. When he’s driving at the end of the movie you can see stuff in the front seat next to him. In that seat is a new Wilson volleyball! That made me so sad for him that he couldn’t get past that part.

Don’t think too deeply. It’s a movie. You think too deeply you start to think, hey, if that guy wanted to make burgers he could have closed his insufferable art joint and flipped burgers, but he chose to serve entitled twits instead. What the hell is he moaning about. See?
