Decent Essays
What Would Happen If Chuck’s Plane hadn’t Dropped Down? During this week, I have watched a movie called Cast Away in the theology class. It is a movie that showed us a systems engineer’s plane have dropped down in the movie, and he floated to an island where he gradually understand how to live and work, then he went back to modern society. It is a really good movie, but sometime I have thought about that if his plane did not go down what would happened in his future? I will explain my deducing and then extend it in my next paragraph. From the movie, it shows audiences that Chuck Noland was very impassioned to his work; he always needs to take a planed for flying to other countries and because of that he even gets conflicts with his girlfriend

    The author, Jon Krakauer portrays this story by having many interviews with people that encountered Chris McCandless’s presence along his journey to Alaska. By interviewing these people Jon Krakauer is giving the readers real life evidence of what these people thought about Chris and his journey. The way he structured this book really interested me and gave me the feeling that I was actually reliving Chris’s journey. The passages in italics at the beginning of each chapter set the tone for the whole chapter and really had me wondering what the chapter would be about. It really confused to me as to why Jon Krakauer did not start the book off in chronological order, but instead somewhere near the end of Chris’s journey.…

    The wild was a place where Chris Mccandless was able to let go of everything, he believed that Ron would find the same peace as well as happiness if he explored just a bit. Throughout the book there is plenty of evidence where Mccandless shows that he doesn’t really need to be social or need new things to be happy. At first, I feel as if he didn’t convince Ron that there was a lot to explore, until he got attracted to Chris and saw the kind of person he was. Chris does provide evidence about his assertions about life. For example, Chris went into the wild because he didn’t want to do the same thing over and over again, He was passionate about his journey, and was able to convince Ron as well as myself.…

    Milkman, leaving his family and community behind, goes on a mission to discover more about not only his ancestry, but also who he truly is.

    Several things happen throughout the movie that are completely unreasonable: from the oversized television set to the crazed fans who forgot how to live. This satirical film commented on the fans of today’s reality tv shows, the directors of the shows and the “reality” displayed in the shows. Some of the ridiculous things that happened included fans who didn’t live their lives (like the man in the tub, the ladies in the bar or the security guards) or the crazy director who tried to kill Truman rather than allow him to find out his life was a lie. In the end, though, Truman Burbank did discover that everything he knew was controlled by a man in the sky, and as he said after this crushing discovery, “In case I don’t see ya, good afternoon, good evening and goodnight”…
