Cast Away (2000) is one of my favorite movies. I'm not a film critic so I do not intend to critique the movie, just say I find it a remarkable film with a simple, classic story but great and the performance of Tom Hanks, as always, impeccable.
history is always busy and yet his work Chuck Noland, who "lives and dies by the clock" and even put aside the holidays with his girlfriend Kelly (who before marriage requests from ) to address labor issues. But on her flight back home the aircraft has an accident and Chuck Noland, the sole survivor is left to its own destiny in a lonely island. There the protagonist facing total isolation, hopelessness, lack of food and water, the desire to delete themselves rather than suffer further, delirium, and finally the decision to try to leave the island, no matter if you die in the attempt.
Even a toothache is unbearable to have no way of relief.
Chuck Noland finally manages to escape from the island and to reconnect with their own world after years during which he was dead. His greatest desire was to return to see his girlfriend, but after making it impossible to continue searching for survivors of the accident, logically and with distress due continue her life, and is now married and has one daughter. 
The film has many remarkable moments, but in particular touched me the dialogue near the end of the movie is Chuck Noland with his friend and colleague Stan. Both talking at night in a hotel room, and Chuck tells him that he turned to find that it was his girlfriend, but now she has a husband and a daughter, and she must leave to continue their new life, although causing you great pain, and tells his friend that was the most important thing he learned from his ordeal on the island ....
- both knew what would happen. Kelly
thought.
knew I had to forget.
I thought ...
and knew that ...
he had lost. Because
would never leave that island.
would die there ...
all alone.
was going to get sick, hurt me or something.
The only choice I had ...
All I could control ...
was when and how ...
and where I was going to happen.
So ...
did a rope ...
and climbed to the summit to hang myself.
had to try it, you know.
course. I know.
The weight of the trunk ...
broke the tree branch.
So ...
could not even kill myself the way I wanted.
had no power over anything.
was then that a feeling clothed me like a warm blanket.
Supe ...
that somehow ...
should keep me alive. Somehow
.
had to keep breathing ...
even knowing that there was no hope ...
and all my logic told me to never see this place.
And that's what I did.
I stayed alive.
I kept breathing.
And one day it was found that this logic was wrong ...
because the tide ...
came and brought me a candle.
And now I'm here. Back
.
In Memphis, talking to you.
I have ice in my glass.
And I've lost.
I am very sad not to have Kelly.
But I am very grateful that she has been with me on that island.
And I know I have to do now.
I keep breathing.
Because tomorrow the sun will rise.
Who knows what the tide will bring?
