Chapter 354: Rebirth After Calamity
Surviving alone requires not only tools, but also great courage. When Chuck ran to the figure rushing toward the beach, what awaited him was a cold corpse. Even Robinson was accompanied on Fridays. He was destined to live on a deserted island and seek survival alone.
Chuck took advantage of all the resources he could use. In order to survive, he drank the dirty fresh water accumulated on the fallen leaves and collected the dew with the shell of the empty coconut. Although it was futile, he rushed into the sea water again and again fork fish.
Before he knew it, changes gradually took place in his body.
Until one night, the lights on the distant sea ignited his hope of getting out of trouble.
"Is he going to get out of the predicament?" Gene asked subconsciously.
"Definitely not, I guess this is another twist." The girl who answered the question this time was the previous girl.
Although Chuck lit up his only flashlight and kept shouting ‘SOS’, it didn’t work.
In order to return to the human society, he decided to give it a try, solemnly put away Kelly's pocket watch, Chuck rowed a life raft and chased after him desperately. However, when facing nature, his power was insignificant. Even if he did not give up, even if he tried his best, he could not rush through the mountain waves.
The waves overturned the life raft, and the waves pressed Chuck into the seabed, hitting the coral reefs heavily. The blood that rose at this moment made countless people cover their mouths.
"He is so brave!"
"He is so pitiful!"
Everyone always has different feelings and experiences.
The strong winds, heavy rains, leg injuries, toothaches, diarrhea caused by coconut milk, etc., were tormenting Chuck, Kelly's pocket watch and photos, which became his only comfort and hope. In order to survive, he had to put his ideas on the emails he picked up.
A few boxes of videotapes. There is no use for the time being.
Divorce Agreement? Will people who are wandering on deserted islands be useful? Throw aside with disgust.
It doesn't seem to be useful to label volleyball with the Wilson brand.
A pair of ice skates, the skates on the soles are sharp enough that this should be useful.
There is also a ladies' gauze dress that can be put aside.
The last email was painted with eye-catching wings. Perhaps it was because of these unique wings that Chuck hesitated, and finally did not disassemble the email, but solemnly put it away.
"What do you think there will be?" The girl next to Gene looked at him. Gene shook her head and signaled to continue watching the movie.
Using these existing tools, Chuck improved his living conditions. The laces of skates can bandage wounds, the sharp skates can easily cut coconuts, and the gauze skirt is used as a net for fishing.
Chuck caught the fish and ate it raw, and immediately realized that he was facing a new problem - fire and cooked food!
There are many crabs on the beach of the island, and Chuck can catch them without even having to spend a lot of effort. But there is no fire!
Drilling wood to make fire, the oldest method, has become Chuck's only method, but it is easy in theory, but it is difficult to do!
Daytime! Nighttime! Daytime! Fire, no...
"God, please help him..."
Looking at the perseverance man and the protagonist tortured by survival, many people prayed.
As if he heard the audience's call, the man on the screen found the right method. He rubbed the wooden groove with a sharpened wooden stick.
"It should be successful now, right?" This is the idea of many viewers.
However, the facts are always the opposite of wish. With the crisp sound, the wooden stick broke, and this time the injured one was replaced by Chuck's hand. He shouted in pain, smashed everything around him to vent. Finally, he picked up the volleyball of the "Wilson" card with his hand stained with blood and threw it out.
People cannot be endlessly angry. Chuck, who is quiet, has to face survival in the wild, and ignition is just the beginning. After venting anger, you have to face reality.
He picked up the volleyball, with bright red palm prints on it. What did he wipe with his hands? It was the vent of the volleyball ball. The marks on his fingers were indeed quite like hair. The volleyball pattern at the bottom looked like a mouth. He drew his right eye on the volleyball ball, looked at it and then drew his left eye and mouth.
This is a very simple shot, but it brings an extraordinary feeling to the audience. A guy who was just full of anger quickly calmed down. The smiling face on volleyball could reflect his mentality at this moment.
‘Wilson’! The most important supporting role in this film was born.
Chuck tried to make the fire again. Whenever he was so tired that he 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 exciting it is to maintain an optimistic spirit. This is the first time Chuck talks to volleyball, and volleyball has become the turning point of the story, and the protagonist completely accepts reality!
After failures again and again, the life-saving fire was finally ignited, and the human civilization seed was burning.
“Fire!”
It was not only Chuck who shouted this sentence, but also countless audiences in the theater.
"Billing coconuts and cooking food with fire is not a fresh scene. Ryan's outstanding acting skills bring a completely different effect." Old Gene was like a professional film critic at this moment.
"Also, he brought a supporting role who couldn't speak with a few lines and simple movements," added Gene.
"That's right! That's right!" The girl next to her nodded in agreement.
It’s time for Chuck to eat cooked food with fire?
No, when he finally had time to eat roasted crabs and even had time to savor them, the toothache that tortured him from the beginning of the video broke out again, and there was no dentist here!
Chuck was in pain and was in pain, forcing him to do it himself, and the ice skates came in handy again...
"Is he crazy?"
This is not a tough guy action movie, it is a life-telling story.
Four years have passed. Volleyball Wilson is the only thing on the island with a name besides Chuck himself. Only it proves that Chuck is still Chuck. However, humans are social animals after all. Chuck, who has lost his social value system, once wanted to climb a cliff and hang himself, but he still insisted on living, in this world. He survived on this deserted island that is isolated from the world!
The photo of his fiancée in his pocket watch became his hope for survival, and Wilson, a volleyball player, became his only friend. Four years were enough to change too much, and Chuck became a fishing master.
Wilson is old and broken. But he looks more like a supporting role. The five-finger symbol marks his hair turned into the 'hair' of hay, and he became the protagonist's unyielding partner.
"God, is this Ryan?"
When the protagonist, who is like a man-like Tarzan, appears in the picture, the sensation caused in the theater can be imagined.
However, with the previous life on the deserted island as the foundation, most of the audience quickly calmed down. Thinking about it, even if Jack Dawson, who lived on a deserted island for four years, would become like this even if he was the reality.
The messy beard is comparable to the hair of a bird's nest. When eating raw fish, the only person who can talk to is a worn volleyball, which is the current Chuck.
The impatient him and the workaholic he used to disappear completely.
A piece of metal floating in the air made Chuck ignite hope of leaving the deserted island again. He made the trees into a raft, tightly trapped the ropes and videotapes woven with bark, carefully calculating the time of the monsoon and preparing necessary supplies.
Metal plate is the only sail!
"We still have time!" He kept saying this to his companions.
When the monsoon arrived, Chuck left his last words on the rocks.
"Chuck Nolan has fled to the sea for 1,500 days here and told Kelly Fis of Memphis that I love her!"
With Wilson, the package that has never been opened, and with all hope, Chuck pushed down the raft, rushed into the sea, rushed towards human society, and rushed towards his lover who has never been forgotten.
Chuck resolutely, when he greeted the last and largest wave hit by the coast, the metal sail opened, and the wings on the sail were extremely bright, and even the strong winds and waves could not block it.
"What exactly does these wings that run through the movie mean?" Gene said to himself.
If Ryan heard him, he would only tell him that there were a hundred Hamlets in his heart, and the clever screenwriter and director would always say half or even one third of the movie, and the remaining audiences could understand it themselves.
When they successfully passed through the waves, Chuck laughed and said to his partner, "We succeeded, Wilson!"
Facing the deserted island where he once lived for 1500 days, he must have had a complicated feeling? Is it hatred or gratitude? His life of 1500 days was abandoned and he gradually went away.
Chuck didn't want to stay on the island and wait for death, but the sea was ruthless. The storm and waves washed away, which consumed most of his energy. Wilson, the only partner who had been with him for four years, sank into the bottom of the sea and left him forever.
"Sorry, Wilson! Sorry, Wilson!"
How can a person who has not experienced that loneliness and pain understand this kind of pain?
Looking at the man lying on the raft crying, thinking about the supporting role without lines and expressions, for some reason, many people, including Gene, had their eyes so wet.
A supporting role named Wilson gave them an indelible impression, and the reason why this was so was all because of the superb performance of the man lying on the raft.
Chuck was lucky that he was rescued by a passing cargo ship and returned to human society, and then FedEx's publicity time came.
This time it was not just FedEx's logo and employees, but even the founder came on stage in person.
Chuck met Kelly, who was obsessed with, 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 automatically ignited with just a press...
In the end, Chuck couldn't help but go to Kelly's house.
Perhaps the conversation between Chuck and Kelly will attract many people's associations, but the focus here is Chuck let go, 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 back, "Do you think Kelly should choose Chuck?"
After hesitating for a while, the girl finally shook her head.
Whether Ryan was writing the script or Robert Zemikis filming and editing, he left enough speculation in the details.
For example, Chuck wanted to find the owner of the winged email, but met Mrs. Peterson and finally stayed at the intersection of life.
There is also the email, what exactly is in it, and the movie did not explain it in the end.
Smart movie shooting techniques will always leave the audience with enough imagination space, and some things are allowed to be associated or mentally supplemented.
