Material civilization is a good thing

Living in the materially rich America, a busy modern man was thrown into a primitive desert island overnight, and everything has to be restarted.
Collect and preserve drinking water, invent tools such as stone knives and axes, drill wood to make fire, fish and fish, eat cooked food, invent wound dressing techniques, invent primitive medical techniques such as tooth extraction, manufacture rafts, determine wind direction, record time, and create rock paintings Art, creation of primitive totems and spiritual worship... In four years, Chuck repeated millions of years of human civilization evolution.


In the process of watching the film, I kept discovering that material civilization is really a good thing. Things we take for granted, such as fire and anti-inflammatory drugs, the process by which humans create them is so difficult.

    It's almost laughable. I know this is not a comedy movie, but watching the various sad things that chubby Tom has done on the desert island, how do you look like the unlucky bear, or the squirrel in "Ice Age". There is no sorrow at all, but the comics and humor fill the whole film.

    As long as you live, there is hope, and what can be missed is inevitably regrettable. The affectionate kiss after reuniting with the old love in the rain is said to be tender, rather than a thorough farewell ceremony with the past. No matter what, life has to go on, and it is destined to go to the next fork in the road, and can't look back, because the sun will rise tomorrow, who knows what the tide will bring. It looks good, which means it is literally beautiful. The focus of the play is always on the characters, focusing on Tom Hanks. He is also the original driving force for the whole movie. Obviously, he is fully supported. This It’s the charm of a great actor~
