Cast Away was a very interesting survival experience. Put a man that runs his life by time and lives a controlled and planned life to the second and put him on a remote‚ lifeless island which causes him to live his life completely opposite from the way he would if he were home.

She really became a good companion for the lonely Theodore Thombly and supplies a romantic music composition for him. This is the idea that a super-intelligent bodiless computer would seek romance with a squishy glorified primate seems sort of odd

Walking towards what is considered a second home hours before the championship game even begins yields nothing but complete silence. The freshly- cut‚ green grass in the outfield glistens from its daily dosage of morning dew. A bare‚ dirt-covered infield yearns to be lined with fresh‚ white chalk.

However‚ they forever exile themselves from the superficial‚ blameless utopia that is Omelas
