CAST AWAY

Now this is a Great Adventure Movie, your “Cast Away” on an Island. You start your first fire. Realizing that you must SURVIVE in order to be there the next day, week or month in order to be rescued. Tom Hanks plays Chuck Noland, with his formerly spoiled lifestyle, now left to fend for himself.

Chuck Noland, a FedEx guy who goes from place to place troubleshooting problems and making sure that the packages arrive on time. He'll do anything to do this, even steal a little kid's bicycle. He uses negative motivation to motivate the staff. He emphasised on one thing that is to be efficient and always be on time.

On the day after Christmas he’s called away on business, and during the overseas flight his company’s courier jet encounters a storm that first blows the plane off-course, then plan crash. Noland is the sole survivor, and he floats to an island. Noland picks up a couple of packages that followed him from the wreckage and starts surveying his new home.

Noland isn’t any smarter than we are: he knows no better way of making a fire than rubbing two sticks together, and only by accident does he discover that it’s easier to slice than beat a coconut open. Other packages from the plane that float ashore, he finds a use for most of their contents. A pair of ice-skates comes in particularly handy. He doesn’t have a life on the island—there’s nowhere to go, nothing to do—and for four long years he lives in a suspended state with only his desire to keep him company.

While his memories of Kelly (his Girl Friend) are essential to Chuck's survival, he also establishes an unusual relationship with "Wilson," a volleyball washed ashore inside a FedEx package from the doomed flight. Playing a crucial role, Wilson rescues Chuck from solitude as well as depression. This fellowship also allows Chuck to speak -- after an hour's worth of mostly silence.

Noland is person who is self motivated and he uses the resources to the fullest. He used all the stuff from the packages for survival. So one should be able to handle all the work and use the resources available. Even after staying on an island for four years he doesn’t give up and escapes from the island. During his escape he fights the rage of the sea and the solitude. He doesn’t give up till the time he parts away from the ball. That’s the only point in the movie when he gives up. Finally he is rescued by a ship passing by.

This movie is a GREAT to show how to survive in the wild. Starting a Fire by Friction, building rope, building a boat with natural items, keeping yourself focused and “sane”. In the end we can say that movie shows one to manage time, use of the resource to fullest and self motivation.
