Title: Cast Away

Happened   across  the   Tom   Hanks  movie   _Cast  Away_   this
evening. Missed the  very start, but  caught almost all  of it. I
watched it because I love how  it looks and how it sounds. In the
island  scenes the  sound of  the surf  is omnipresent,  and that
sound I could listen to all day.

It  struck me  tonight, however,  how utterly  **sad** the  whole
movie is. There  is almost  no scene, even  after he  is rescued,
where the  main character  isn't faced  with boundless  grief and
loss. From the  loss of his  life, right  through to the  loss of
Wilson, to  the end of  the marriage of  the woman in  Texas, the
entire movie positively wallows in suffering.

Still though, watched it to the end, loved it. Tom Hanks rules.
