In fact, a high-ranking source told the Indian Express that the National Technical Research Organisation “had intercepted mobile phone traffic involving small-time smugglers operating out of the fishing port of Keti Bandar, near Karachi.” (It was common for the Coast Guard to apprehend small-time smugglers selling alcohol and diesel on the high seas.) There was no evidence on record to suggest that the boat posed a militant or terrorist threat.

Television channels declared that a “26/11 type attack” had been foiled.īut reports in the print media over the next few days, particularly in the Indian Express, suggested that there was more to this incident that met the eye. It had fired warning shots to ask the men to surrender, but they had chosen to go down with the vessel. The Coast Guard claimed that the boat was carrying explosives. Because tomorrow the sun will rise.N New Year’s Day in 2015, the Indian Coast Guard released a statement about an unidentified boat that had been burnt to a crisp after the four men on board had set fire to it. But I'm so grateful that she was with me on that island. And one day my logic was proven all wrong because the tide came in, and gave me a sail. And all my logic said that I would never see this place again. I knew, somehow, that I had to stay alive.

And that's when this feeling came over me like a warm blanket. And the weight of the log, snapped the limb of the tree, so I-I -, I couldn't even kill myself the way I wanted to. I made a rope and I went up to the summit, to hang myself. The only choice I had, the only thing I could control was when, and how, and where it was going to happen. I was gonna get sick, or get injured or something. 'cos I was never gonna get off that island. You may not feel the emotional rush that you're meant to feel, but Cast Away remains a respectable effort. Even the final scene-which feels like a crowd-pleasing compromise-offers hope without shoving it down our throats. With slow, rhythmic camera moves and brilliant use of sound, Zemeckis wisely avoids the postcard prettiness of The Black Stallion and The Blue Lagoon to emphasize the harshness of Chuck's ascetic solitude, and this stylistic restraint allows Cast Away to resonate more than one might expect.

It's fascinating to witness Chuck's emerging survival skills, and Hanks's remarkable physical transformation is matched by his finely tuned performance.

Following a mid-Pacific plane crash, movie number two chronicles Chuck's four-year survival on a remote island, totally alone save for a Wilson volleyball (aptly named 'Wilson') that becomes Chuck's closest 'friend.' Movie number three leads up to Chuck's rescue and an awkward encounter with his ex-girlfriend Kelly (Helen Hunt, in a thankless role), for whom Chuck has seemingly risen from the grave. It's three movies in one, beginning when punctuality-obsessed Federal Express systems engineer Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks) departs on Christmas Eve to escort an ill-fated flight of FedEx packages. That may explain why the film's most emotionally powerful scene involves the loss of an inanimate object, even as it presents a heart-rending dilemma in its very human final act. While director Robert Zemeckis's earlier film Contact achieved a kind of mainstream spiritual significance, Cast Away falls just short of that goal. Cast Away is a good movie that wants to be much better.
