He and Kelly must check their appointment books to try and coordinate his days off, and must hurriedly open their Christmas gifts to each other in the car on the way to the airport. His pager goes off during Christmas dinner (as Elvis sings "Blue Christmas" in the background). Exhausted when he returns home, he sleeps during what little free time he has with Kelly, his girlfriend. He tells Stan he'll get the number of a good doctor, and "We'll get this fixed." Life is just a series of problems to be solved, not truly lived.Ĭhuck Noland lives in such bondage to time that he can't even schedule time for a dental appointment. Stan's wife has been diagnosed with cancer. On the flight home, the stewardess shows compassion for Chuck's friend, Stan. He will do whatever it takes to serve this harsh taskmaster which is time. The interpreter tells the group that Chuck had even stolen a bicycle to deliver packages. He explains that eighty-seven hours is an eternity. The package contained a clock and it showed that it took eighty-seven hours to arrive in Russia. It is a pulsating, relentless taskmaster (rather than a loving, compassionate God).Ĭhuck had mailed a package from the United States to be delivered to him while he is in Russia. Never turn your back on the clock or commit the sin of losing track of time. We live or die by the clock (rather than by the grace of a Sovereign God). Time rules over us without mercy (rather than a God who rules with mercy). A FedEx employee in Russia to "make things work", he is giving a speech about time to a group of Russian workers.Ĭhuck stresses three points as his interpreter shouts his words in Russian:
#Was cast away based on a true story movie#
Setting aside the mysterious couple, Dick and Bettina, the movie now introduces the main character, Chuck Noland. He is obviously having an extramarital affair. The music picks up tempo, as the location shifts to Russia where Fed Ex delivers the package to her husband. The song changes to "All Shook Up", as she tells the driver she'll have another package on Thursday. The driver picks up a package that has pink wings painted on it.We get a glimpse of the female artist who is listening to Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel". The sign over the entrance of this farm reads "Dick and Bettina". The movie opens at a crossroads in Texas, as a Federal Express truck drives up to a farm (the farm looks like an island on a sea of land).
He lives in a world he controls until suddenly he is Cast Away. He lives in a world of unopened boxes, not realizing he has become one.
#Was cast away based on a true story how to#
He lives in "a world on time" and yet does not know how to discern the time. Time and eternity, Boxes and hearts, Fear and control
