GC, you'll get no lashing from me ... (well, not for your poor movie taste anyway)
A lot of people have trouble with
Cast Away. It's too slow for some. It comes off crass and cumbersome to others. It's got a weird structure and an unusual tone that many people don't take to.
I am at a personal loss to see where anyone could not find at least the surface story compelling - - the classic tale of man on desert island told more truly and stylishly than any previous attempt. Yet many people don't even find it a good
adventure film, much less chock full of psychological, spiritual and emotional resonance.
The film is sublime. I feel nothing but sadness for those who just don't get it.
