Cast away

Helen hunt stars as Kelly Fears, her presence runs throughout the movie, because the memory of Kelly is the one thing that keeps Chuck alive when he’s on that island.

Theme & discussion 1.The independence on civilization 2.Spiritual support of life 3.Companion 4.experienced 2.What would you do if you were Kelly when you saw Chuck? 1.The difference between existence and livelihood

Civilization brings us a lot of convenience and comfort, but is it everything? We must start fire with gas or technological methods? Do we have to catch by grim tools or giant boat? It seems that we lead a cozy life by such ways. We are absorbed in a world like illusion, a technology illusion. Sometime, I still find originality, why I don’t find it in my life. All that I see is just fake and vacuum. I only think that my worn jeans are real and original. Actually, originality is the most beautiful thing on earth. We don’t need too many moderated things. The world is too chaos. Let’s have a simplest life. Simplism. Keep the original civilization.
