Castaway assessment 1. To critique the film castaway I would say that they did not show enough of what he had to do to survive for the 4 years on the island they showed him catching a few fish and the showed him cracking coconuts but they never showed him trying to catch any animals or setting any traps that he might find on an island. Also, I would have little bit more of the time that they were having at home searching for him or at his funeral. They just showed him at the island for the whole time and the only time we saw any other characters were at the beginning and the end.
They could have finished some of the things that they started like the box that he returned to the owner at the end of the movie or what he did with his life after …show more content…

He was pushing all of his workers to get things done as fast as possible so people could get their packages sooner than later. Also chuck and kelly had a problem because everybody thought they should get married but they were not sure if they were going to get married.
Chuk also had a problem with his tooth he had a problem before he got on the plane and then when the plane crashed he had no way of getting his tooth fixed. His tooth got worse and worse until he had to pull it out using an ice skate that was in one of the boxes which would be very painful. Chuck created wilson so he would have somebody to talk to so he was really talking to himself he had a few arguments with wilson with he would be having internally if he was no talking to wilson.
The last type of conflict that was in this movie was the conflict of technology. Technology played a big part of this movie the plane that he was in had difficulties with the gps so they were lost in the storm and then crashed so it was a big problem and was one of the reasons that he was stranded in the first place. He also had troubles with the trucks that were in russia they were slow and one of them even had a boot on it so they were not able to use it and it made things difficult. That is most of the conflicts that were in the movie

    ...lways in change, and that’s the only constant he can hold on to. As time progresses , a lot of things have to move forward , and if a human being is consumed in inspecting and analyzing every second and every minute passing by , that human will never evolve. In the 4 years Chuck has spent on the island, he has learnt lots about nature and himself. The experiences he has gained serve as hands molding Chuck’s character and engraving it with self-reliance. Self-reliance plays a major role in the plot of the movie, as it is the only way Chuck uses to reach safety. Without being self-reliant and depending on himself, Chuck would’ve never made that raft to reach safety and would’ve never been found drifting by a passing cargo ship. It’s just like the movie is itself screaming out loud a transcendentalist doctrine: Self-reliance is your way to safety and a better life.

    The Odyssey and O Brother Where Art Thou are considered a representation of each other in some ways and prove more similar than it is commonly thought. Although the overall persona of each portrayal is quite different, it still illustrates the same message. A good lesson to be learned from this comparison is to contemplate your actions to prevent bleak situations from occurring. The characters in these tales had to understand the consequences by experiencing it themselves. Acknowledging the time period that these voyages took place in, they didn't have anybody to teach them proper ways to go about situations.

  • The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea Character Analysis

    1398 Words  | 3 Pages

    Throughout history, there has been an inescapable struggle between instilling ancestral customs and following the path of progress through adaptation. Author Yukio Mishima experienced this struggle during the time he wrote the novel The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea as his political ideology leaned towards conservatism and preserving traditional Japanese beliefs such as the samurai lifestyle. Post World War II was a transitional period for Japan as it started embracing the Western mannerisms of the Allied countries. Mishima’s internal conflict between this dichotomy -- westernization and traditionality -- is represented in the novel through the character of Noboru. Noboru struggles between his immersion in traditional
