Chapter 354 Rebirth after the catastrophe
To survive alone, you need not only tools, but also great courage. When Chuck ran to the figure rushing on the beach, what was waiting for him was a cold corpse. Even Robinson was accompanied by Friday. Doomed to live on a deserted island to survive alone.
Chuck took advantage of all available resources. In order to survive, he drank the dirty fresh water accumulated on fallen leaves, collected dew with empty coconut shells, and rushed into the sea again and again to spear fish despite his futility.
Unknowingly, a change gradually took place in him.
Until one night, the lights on the distant sea ignited his hope of getting out of trouble.
Is he going to get out of trouble? Gene asked subconsciously.
Certainly not, I guess that's another twist. This time it was the girl from earlier who answered the question.
Although Chuck turned on the only flashlight and kept shouting '', it had no effect.
In order to return to the human society, he decided to give it a go, and solemnly put away Kelly's pocket watch. Chuck rowed the life raft and chased after him desperately. Yes, even if he didn't give up, even if he tried his best, he still couldn't break through the mountain-like waves.
The waves overturned the life raft, and the waves pushed Chuck into the bottom of the sea and hit the coral reef hard. The blood that sprang up at this moment made countless people cover their mouths.
He's so brave!
Poor him!
Everyone has different feelings and experiences.
Strong wind, heavy rain, leg injury, toothache, diarrhea caused by coconut milk, etc., are tormenting Chuck. Kelly's pocket watch and photos have become his only comfort and hope. In order to survive, he had to focus on the headers of the few mails he picked up.
A few videotapes are of no use for now.
divorse agreement? Will people living on a desert island be useful? Tossed aside in disgust.
A volleyball branded 'Wilson' doesn't seem to work either.
A pair of skates with sharp enough blades on the soles should do the trick.
There is also a lady's gauze dress, which can be put aside.
The last email,
With the striking wings painted on it, perhaps this pair of unique wings, Chuck hesitated. In the end, he didn't open the mail, but put it away solemnly.
What do you think will be in there? The girl next to Gene looked at him, and Gene shook his head, motioning to continue watching the movie.
Using these existing tools, Chuck improved his living conditions. The laces of his skates can be used to bandage wounds, the sharp skates can easily cut through coconuts, and the gauze skirt is used as a fishing net.
Chuck caught the fish and ate one raw. Know immediately that you face a new problem - fire and cooked food!
There are so many crabs on the island's sand that Chuck can catch them without even trying very hard, but there is no fire!
Drilling wood to make fire is the oldest method. Becoming Chuck's only way, but it is easy in theory, but very difficult in practice!
daytime! night! daytime! fire, no...
God. Please help him...
Looking at the persistent man and the protagonist who is tortured by survival, many people sent out prayers.
It seemed to hear the call of the audience. The man on the screen has found the right way, rubbing the wooden groove with a sharpened stick.
Should it succeed now? This is the thought of many viewers.
However, the fact is always contrary to the wish. With a clear sound, the wooden stick broke, and this time the injured hand was replaced by Chuck. He yelled in pain and beat everything around him to vent. With bloody hands, he picked up the 'Wilson' brand volleyball and threw it out forcefully.
People can't be endlessly angry. Chuck, who has calmed down, has to face the need to survive in the wild, and lighting a fire is just the beginning. After venting his anger, he has to face reality.
He picked up the volleyball, there were bright red palm prints on it, what did he wipe with his hand? It's the air hole of the volleyball. The imprint of the fingers really looks like hair, and the volleyball pattern underneath does indeed look like a mouth. He drew the right eye on the volleyball, looked at it, and then drew the left eye and mouth.
This is a very simple shot, but it brought an unusual feeling to the audience. A guy who was full of anger just now calmed down quickly. The smiling face on the volleyball can reflect his state of mind at this time.
'Wilson'! The film's most important supporting role was born.
Chuck tried to start the fire again, and whenever he was tired and wanted to give up, he would look back at Wilson and continue to work hard.
You don't happen to have matches, do you?
How inspiring it is for people to maintain an optimistic spirit. This is the first time Chuck speaks to volleyball, and volleyball becomes the turning point of the story. The protagonist completely accepts reality!
After repeated failures, the life-saving fire was finally ignited, and the seed of human civilization burned blazingly.
!
It wasn't just Chuck who yelled this sentence, but also countless audiences in the theater.
Opening coconuts and lighting a fire to cook food are not fresh plots, but Ryan's excellent acting skills have brought a completely different effect. Old Gene is like a professional film critic at this moment.
Also, with a few lines and simple facial expressions, he brought to life a non-speaking supporting role. Gene added.
That's right! That's right! The girl next to her nodded in agreement.
With a fire, you can eat cooked food, shouldn't Chuck be relaxed?
No, when he managed to eat the grilled crab, and even had time to savor it, the toothache that had plagued him since the beginning of the film reappeared. There is no dentist here!
Chuck, tortured by the toothache, was in so much pain that he had to do it himself, and the skates of the skates came in handy again...
Is he crazy?
This isn't a tough guy action movie, this is a story that tells life in real life.
Four years have passed like this. Volleyball Wilson is the only thing with a name on the island other than Chuck himself. It is the only thing that proves that Chuck is still Chuck. Chuck once wanted to climb the cliff and hang himself to death, but he persisted and survived, in this world, on this isolated desert island!
The photo of his fiancée in the pocket watch became his hope for survival, and Wilson became his only friend. Four years are enough to change too much. Chuck has become a master fisherman.
Wilson is old and worn out, but he is more like a supporting role. The five-finger symbol imprinted hair has become the 'hair' of hay, and he has become the protagonist's inseparable partner.
God, is this Ryan?
When the Tarzan-like protagonist appeared in the screen, one can imagine the sensation caused in the theater.
However, with the previous life on the deserted island as a foreshadowing, most of the audience quickly calmed down, thinking about it. After living on a deserted island for four years, even if the real Jack Dawson came, he would look like this.
Messy beard, hair comparable to a bird's nest, eating raw fish, the only object he can talk to is an old volleyball, this is the current Chuck.
The irritable him in the past, the workaholic has completely disappeared.
A piece of metal plate floated made Chuck rekindle the hope of leaving the deserted island, and he made a raft from the trees. Ropes woven with bark and video tapes were firmly tied, carefully calculating the time when the monsoon would come, and preparing the necessary supplies.
The sheet metal is the only sail!
We still have time! He kept saying this to his companions.
When the monsoon arrived, Chuck left his final words on the rock.
Chuck Nolan has been here fifteen hundred days. Fleeing to sea, tell Kelly Firth in Memphis I love her!
With Wilson, with the package that was never opened. With all hope, Chuck pushes off the raft and into the ocean. Rushing towards human society, towards the lover who has never been forgotten.
Chuck didn't hesitate, and when he met the last and biggest wave on the coast, the metal sail opened, and the wings on the sail were so bright that even the strong wind and huge waves couldn't cover it.
What do these wings that run through the movie represent? Gene said to himself.
If Ryan heard what he said, he would only tell him that a hundred people have a hundred Hamlets in their hearts. Smart screenwriters and directors will always only say half or even a third of the movie, and the rest of the audience can understand it by themselves.
When they successfully crossed the huge wave, Chuck laughed and said to his partner, We made it, Wilson!
Facing the deserted island where he lived for 1,500 days, he must have mixed feelings, right? Is it hatred or gratitude? 1,500 days of life were thrown away, and he drifted away.
Chuck didn't want to stay on the island and wait to die, but the sea is ruthless, the storm, the waves wash away most of his energy, and his only partner, Wilson, who had been with him for four years, also sank to the bottom of the sea and left forever he.
Sorry, Wilson! Sorry, Wilson!
How can people who have not experienced that kind of loneliness and pain understand this kind of pain.
Looking at the crying man lying on the raft, and thinking about the supporting character who had no lines or expressions, for some reason, the eyes of many people, including Gene, became so moist.
A supporting character named Wilson made an indelible impression on them, and this was only possible because of the superb performance of the man lying on the raft.
Chuck was lucky, he was rescued by a passing cargo ship and returned to human society, and then it was time for FedEx's publicity.
This time, not only the logo and employees of FedEx, but even the founders played in person.
Chuck saw Kelly, whom he never forgot, and his lover had married a dentist and returned to human society. He had a different feeling, and his whole temperament changed.
Food can be seen everywhere here, and the fire can be ignited automatically by pressing the button...
In the end, Chuck couldn't hold back and went to Kelly's house.
Perhaps the dialogue between Chuck and Kelly will arouse many people's associations, but the point here is that Chuck let go, and Kelly chose responsibility, chose family, and returned to her husband and daughter.
Why didn't Kelly choose Chuck?
Hearing the question from the girl next to him, Gene asked, Do you think Kelly should choose Chuck?
After hesitating for a while, the girl finally shook her head.
No matter when Ryan wrote the script or when Robert Zemeckis filmed and edited it, there were enough details left for people to guess.
For example, Chuck wanted to find the owner of the wing mail, but met Mrs. Peterson, and finally stopped at the crossroads of his life.
And this email, what is in it, the movie did not explain in the end.
Clever filming techniques will always leave enough room for the audience to imagine, and some things are left for them to associate or imagine. (to be continued..) ()
