Reply to comment by Arfguy in The last hour of Cast Away is devastating and beautiful by PastMiddleAge

I’ll agree with you. Tom Hanks is great in Cast Away. He has the perfect nice, regular guy demeanor that nothing bad could ever happened to him. And when something bad does happen, he’s incredibly vulnerable but you can still really believe the strength that helps him push through to survive.

Also it’s not technically 90s. Came out December 2000! Had to check.

Damn. You're right. It did come out in 2000.

I guess it’s not as old as people think! Somebody else in this comment thread just said they saw a trailer for it in 1995. I don’t think so!

Yeah...looking back on it, Hanks was on a roll. He made some amazing movies in the 90s and had collaborated with Robert Zemeckis a couple of times and I think I just blurred Forrest Gump and Cast Away.

He owned the 90s. You were always wondering what Tom Hanks would make next.
