Desert
Island" has always been unclear why the desert island is called "the rest of the desert island". Isn't this the meaning of exhausting life on the desert island?
Is it a barren time? If life is measured by time, most of the film is supported by the abstract passage of time. The image that first appeared was a vast wilderness, no one was seen, and time seemed to stop there. However, the road that stretched to the sky became agile, a FEDEXP express car moved from far to near, and the protagonist's life also kicked off. . Chuck is definitely a representative of ordinary people in modern civilization, busy and racing against time. As soon as he enters the audience's vision, he is a typical workaholic image. "Every FedEx office has a clock. We live with time as the center. We should never ignore time and never allow ourselves to commit the crime of time concept." He was playing with the express company's big clock. Poppies anesthetize the crowd around, so everything around seems to belong to time. If life leaves time, what will happen to everything? This is a foreshadowing that creates a stark contrast to the desert island survival below.
In order to show the time, other gimmicks are also set up in the film, such as the pager with the time tag being soaked in water after arriving on the desert island; for example, many Chucks sent a timer from Nikolai in Russia to the United States Memphis himself, what is admirable is that this move not only shows the ruthlessness of time, but also vaguely tells the viewers, although Chuck is the one who sacrificed Christmas for his career, sacrificed the days of marrying his fiancee early, and He seems to be a middle-class person who is completely impatient for his career, but the entertainment spirit possessed by such a man who can be busy without forgetting to laugh at life is exactly the good quality needed in adversity. In addition, Chuck's fiancee Kelly's pocket watch undoubtedly runs through the entire film. It has two symbols: the hands and time are running in sync, the human society is also running, and love is still in progress; the pocket watch stops, living alone away from home. Island, love ends. Of course, the pocket watch also gives a kind of yearning and belief. Although the blue sky and blue water are beautiful, they are not the scenery of life. Human beings who are afraid and helpless have long lost their passion for it. If there is a scenery in life, it is only this pocket watch. It is also worth mentioning in the film that the LOGO of FEDEXP, a giant in the postal industry, is everywhere. FEDEXP has an innate sensitivity and pursuit of efficiency, and the express industry itself also represents timeliness and speed.
Time in a civilized society seems to be desolate and bleak when it is chasing wealth, fame and fortune. Time on the island is not for human beings who have lost their faith. , can not help but sigh. It is understood that the film is divided into three parts. Before 1500 days (life on the island), it was mostly shot with a handheld camera, and the dynamic shots reflected the fast-paced world of the protagonist; in 1500 days, as the second act, there was no modification of music and dialogue. The situation is filled with the sound of the waves, the beeping sound of the bonfire, and the uncontrollable emotional fluctuations of the protagonist------. This is entirely Hanks' performance; 1,500 days later, the camera begins to lift, push and pull and other romantic techniques, and here the hero and heroine have to deal with their love. The film transitions from a modern civilized society to a primitive society. In the unfulfilled love, it explores the meaning of time to people and the complexity of human spirit, will and social relations. It makes people think about how we should deal with the changes of the world and the complexity of social relations. Personnel at hand.
"Time is like a flame, which can destroy us and warm us." When survival leaves time, or survival without the concept of time, and in the area where people live, things change dramatically. When they come back, people It's Rotten, and Chuck has lost his love. The so-called desert island is probably the desert island of love!
Where is the value? What should
human beings do when they are separated from the social value system? This American film conveys universal values, about love, family, friendship, integrity, optimism, and strength------
Undoubtedly, in addition to Hanks' superb performance, a volleyball named Wilson stole the limelight. "The most beautiful thing in the world is the world itself." It is a gift from a grandfather to his grandson and a deep blessing , but I don't know how Chuck felt when he saw this sentence, maybe the desert island itself is beautiful, but this kind of beauty takes all one's intelligence, energy and willpower to pursue. Chuck draws water, rubs ropes, builds fires, and roasts crabs on a desert island—but it doesn't come easy. You can find that when Chuck came home to the banquet, he looked thoughtfully at the well-cooked crabs, the slender flames coming out of the lighters, the same things in different places were endowed with such completely different manner and purpose. The fire was made of bricks and wood on the deserted island, with blood in one hand, and it was originally just to ask for help. Chuck was so angry that he threw the volleyball away, but accidentally found that the surface of the volleyball was covered with bright red bloody handprints. At this time, he played his innate entertainment spirit again and simply drew the eyes, nose and mouth. , At this time, Wilson, who has begun to symbolize human beings, was born. Robinson still has a "Friday" to accompany him. Chuck is isolated on an island. Facing nature, he seems so insignificant, easy to be weak, easy to give up, just right Wilson acted as such an encourager, after repeated attempts after repeated failures, Chuck finally cheered proudly in the lonely night. In later episodes, Chuck kept talking to Wilson to make sure he wasn't the only human being left in the world who could talk, move, eat and sleep, and he named Wilson as if he was His relatives, but in fact, 1500 days of desert island survival, Wilson has been an inseparable part of him, when Chuck discovered the possibility of leaving the desert island, he threw the bastard volleyball out of the hole, In less than a few seconds, he realized that what he had thrown away was a relative he could not abandon, and then went crazy to find it. And when the wind and rain came and drifted on the sea, when Wilson was washed away by the sea, Chuck was exhausted and kept searching, crying out, "I am sorry, I am sorry!" Wilson and Whether it's the screenwriter's arrangement to make the film sound (or else it's all Chuck talking to himself, which is very abrupt), just from Chuck, Wilson is his spiritual sustenance, and his ego is based on On top of another person's approval, let's pretend that Wilson is dumb. In addition, Wilson is like Kelly on a desert island. It is gone, and she is destined to leave, for the sake of her family and traditional social and moral values. They didn't meet too late, just too little, as Chuck said later: "I shouldn't have been on the plane"
Butterfly is my second impression of the film. There is a golden butterfly on a package scattered on the beach. When he was about to open it, Chuck hesitated. He gently stroked the butterfly, and then carefully collected it. In the scene where Chuck finally returns the package to the owner, we can notice that the package is still as clean as ever. Because it is wings, I believe that butterflies are symbols of hope. When the wind and rain come, Chuck's sail is a big golden butterfly. On the sea where the night is lonely and the weather is unpredictable, it is a work of art of human beings, and the spirit of nature smokes. Silk out of infinite vitality. When it is only about love, the love brought by butterflies is parting. At the beginning of the film, a woman who sent a package with a butterfly logo for her husband said to the courier: "I still have something to send on Thursday." So this golden butterfly package It should be this Mrs. Peterson too, but her husband in Russia lives with another woman, and the woman who guides Chuck at the end of the film should also be Mrs. Peterson, because the lining of the car she is leaving With a huge butterfly, the names of the couple standing alongside the butterfly on the door of the manor also disappeared four years ago. Is she looking for a new life with hope? Chuck was looking at the direction she left and smiling, the woman was still as bright as a flower, maybe as the grandfather said, the most beautiful thing in the world is the world itself, no matter what you experience, the most beautiful thing is yourself, and there is hope everywhere in life.
When dealing with friendship, Chuck is also very affectionate. When burying his companions, he carefully put the family portrait in his wallet into the pocket of his shirt, and engraved a tombstone, which is thoughtful and meticulous. Four years ago, Chuck wanted to find a good doctor for his old friend Stan's wife Mary. On the plane home four years later, Chuck focused on his old friend and said, "I'm so sorry, when Mary left. I wasn't there, I should have been by your side to support you, but I didn't, and then he said I am sorry, like he said to Wilson. With such a confidant in life, what more can a husband ask for? Sometimes it's like this, love can't wait, and friendship lasts forever.
Looking back on it for four years, we have also experienced ups and downs like the protagonist. I can't help but say that the film uses sincerity, nobility, sadness and even reality to make viewers think in all kinds of ways. How to raise time is actually how to spend life.
