In the most difficult times, humans will return to the nature of animals, fight against nature and make use of the environment, but there are differences between humans and animals, that is, different desires. Animals can give everything to a meal or escape, but people are not only satisfied with it, but they also have emotions, which are called beliefs.
In the movie, Chuck's belief is pinned on the photo of his fiancée and the vow he promised to return soon before taking the plane. He has survived the desert island for four years and still retains this belief. Even on that deserted island and between that sea area, he has been unable to see people. From the beginning he heard any noise and would call for help, until he finally found the body of a companion in the sea, and then he got used to the storm and the waves, and the human qualities gradually faded from his body. The clothes he was focusing on at the beginning no longer work, his hair and beards are beginning to grow, and there is nothing in front of him for him to talk to except a volleyball with a face painted with his blood. Four years is not a short period of time, and he is also resisting the lonely situation. He engraved and painted on the stone wall, chatted with volleyball and named it, and finally he took it on the road to escape.
Chuck returned to the crowded city and recalled the deserted island in front of others. He mentioned a word, hold it. He needs to grasp the wind, rain, and thunder so that he can adapt to the environment and escape from it. He also mentioned that it is his right to continue to live. Only those who have experienced life and death crisis can understand the value of life. No one will feel a crisis in a life with intact skin and full food and drink, and then will not feel the signs of loss of life. And he had left a lot of scars all over his body, and a lot of blood and tears shed. When he returned to his normal life, with decent clothes and exquisite food, he began to reconsider the luck of a life that was once blind to him. He will quickly adapt to the life that belongs to him, but he also needs a transition period. For a long period of time, he will think deeply about his time on the desert island, and the shock that it will bring to him will continue to affect his life.
Chuck's fiancée ultimately belongs to someone else, even if the heart of the fiancée always belongs to him. He is no longer as confident as he was four years ago, attracting everyone's attention. He began to have a long silence, his eyes burning, but it also fascinated women. Therefore, there is no need to worry about his emotional life. He will know how to adjust. Just as he lost the volleyball man he had been with in the endless sea, he lay on the raft and muttered sorry, because he couldn't go forward to snatch it back after all. Letting go is not because you don't need it, but because you clearly recognize the distance.
Chuck can survive on the desert island without his wisdom. If a person only has fear, it will be difficult to discover his own wisdom. And if a person has faith in addition to fear, then the desire for life that can be tapped will resolve the crisis. This is not easy, but it must be possible. So please be kind to your fears, and please don't waste faith.
