Today I picked out my senior english book,I watch an article which is about friend.
it is writting Chuck's friend. Chuck is played by Tom Hanks.In the movie Cast Away,chuck is a busniessman who is always so busy that he has little time for his friends. He is a successful manager in a company that sends mail all over the world .One day chuck is on a flight across the Pacific Ocean when suddenly his plane crashes,chuck survivs the crash and lands on a deserted island.on the island ,chuck has to learn to survive all alone.Perhaps the most difficult challenge is how to survive without friends .In order to survive ,chuck develops a friendship wiht a volleyball he calls Wison. chuck realises that he hasn't been a good friend because he has always been thinking about himself.During his five years on the island, chuck learns how to be a good friend to wilson .he talks to him and treats him as a friend. chuck learns that we need friend to share happiness and sorrow and that it is important to have someone to care about .He also learns that she should have cared more about his friends.When he makes friends with Wilson,he understand that friendship is about feeling and that we must give as much as we take.
from this movie ,I know friendship helps us understand who we are ,why we need each other and what we can do for each other.Thanks Tom Hanks bring us so much good movies.His new movie ,Angels& demons ,which is perfect.

I love this movie. Although it mostly silent almost 2/3 of the duration, but sometimes a movie does not have to be loud to tell the story, which in this movie was perfectly done by Robert Zemeckis, Tom Hanks, and Chuck. You can feel the depression coming out of Tom's body language and how he finally talks to the ball to overcome his loneliness. In the end, it's really heartbreaking to see him go back to his normal live but also feel the loneliness cause his girlfriend already move on. But that's life, life must go on and I really understand why his girlfriend's choice. I wonder how Tom Hanks didn't get his 3rd Oscar here, I think he's wonderful in this movie.

oh,really? i read this article also on my senior english book when high school. till now i clearly remember 'Tom Hanks' and his best friend--a volleyball. actually i haven't watched the movie cast away, which seems a pity. but i've watched several Tom's movies in which his performance impressed me a lot. for example, Forrest Gump,Saving Private Ryan,Philadelphia,The Green Mile,etc. and also i've watch Angles&demons recently which i think is similar to his former The code of Dan Vince something. its unexpected final really impressed me.
