Man V. Man's Problem With Fedex
Tom hanks was able to do a very good job acting as Chuck. He was able to show us viewers how the was really feeling even though he didn't really talk much during the movie. That is something that a good actor is able to do. At the end of the movie was kind of a shame, but still good. It wasn’t very good I thought because I thought him and Kelly should have gotten back together. The one thing I really liked is how he took the package he had the whole time he was missing to the person it was suppose to go to. It was a happy ending I thought.
A problem he had that was Man vs. Man was with Russian people they had a problem with Fedex. When the truck was on the side of the road the Russians put a boot over the tire so the truck was no longer able

Nature. For example all the problems he had with the weather on the island when he was stranded. There were very bad storm, him not being able to start a fire for awhile, catching fish, getting cut by the coral, and the big waves that were coming to shore. He was able to fight through everything and survived and was able to know how to do that stuff and adapt to the environment.
Man vs. Society there were a few problems. Chucks had problems with Fedex and how long the shipping was taking. He sent a package from the U.S. to Russia with a timer in it to see how long it took. He wasn't very happy with how long it took to get there and wanted it to be faster.
During the stay at the island Chuck had lots of problems with Man vs. Self. He had problems with Wilson, tooth problems, making a fire, and emotions. At first the biggest problem I thought was his emotions and him trying to make a fire. He was always looking at the watch and looking at the picture of Kelly because he was missing her a lot. When he was trying to build the fire he was getting very stressed. While he was trying to make the fire he cut his hand open and got another big cut, but he fought through it and was able to make the fire and he was very happy after doing

    With most of the situations he was very reserved and stayed out of it and watched. If he had said something instead of being quiet they could have worked through a majority of the family problems. In the picture scene he just stood back in awe and had nothing to say to anyone and remained extremely quiet. He should have followed his wife to try and talk to her about what happened, or calmly talked to Conrad about what he just said. He did explode at one point, and that was on the golf course, because he was defending Conrad and trying to explain to Beth everything was going be okay in the end.…

    At the beginning of the movie, Zemeckis decided to have a way to give Chuck some resources. He did think by having the resources float up to Chuck by the Ocean's waves, with this Chuck got many random boxes. Chuck got a pair of ice skates, with these he used the laces and bubble wrap from the package. Chuck used these to wrap a wound on his leg so he wouldn't bleed out. The blades were tied to a stick and used as an axe, the toe of the blade was used to carve holes in coconuts to drink and to chop wood for his boat and to make a fire. The waves also gave him a package, containing a volleyball with a card saying “The world is a beautiful place”. Zemeckis showed this and then Tom Hanks face of him reading the card. This card was ironic, because people think of islands as paradise. However, Chuck was on an island and found it anything but paradise. Chuck keeps the volleyball and paints a face on the volleyball with his bloody hand and makes a smiley face. Chuck uses the volleyball as a friend, he names him Wilson and talks to him as if he were a real person. Zemeckis uses Wilson as a way to let Chuck talk to someone so he doesn't go psychologically insane. As the years go by Chuck changes and so does Wilson, Chuck gets skinnier because he has been starving and have a lot of facial hair. Wilson also somehow gets ripped on the top of his head the strings of the volleyball from the rip…

    One of the main things that rally grabbed my attention was the casting. I feel that Morgan Freeman as Red was a great choice. His acting is always superb in any movie, and he really shines in Shawshank. Then of course there is Tim Robbins as Andy, and he seemed like a perfect fit. Andy is a soft spoken banker and Tim portrayed him well. Some of the more interesting characters are the guards,…

    The setting chosen by the director Peter Weir was great as all the houses and yards were repetitive. It almost showed an overview of Truman’s life in a nutshell. Jim Carrey played his role accurately in the melancholic scenes as well as the elated scenes. Marlon (Noah Emmerich) was also a strength of the movie working alongside of Christof and Truman’s wife, Meryl (Laura Lenney). Jim Carrey managed to change his regular comedy role to a more serious and dramatic role taking part in this movie.…

    One of the main things that rally grabbed my attention was the casting. I feel that Morgan Freeman as Red was a great choice. His acting is always superb in any movie, and he really shines in Shawshank. He makes you feel what you need to feel at different parts of the movie. Freeman makes you think of what it is like to be in jail for many years. He doesn’t down play what really goes on. Also he is a very reliably narrator because he tells it like it is. Then of course there is Tim Robbins as Andy, and he seemed like a perfect fit. Andy is a soft spoken banker and Tim portrayed him well. Tim makes you believe that anyone is innocent and that he tells the truth on the stand. He makes you believe that not all of man are lying human beings. And by the end of the movie you are cheering for him to get free and see Red again. Some of the more interesting characters are the guards, the actors who played them were the kind that you would love to…

    Tom Hanks’ acting was a show of the challenges Chuck Noland had to face. He went through many challenges physically and emotionally. Chuck Noland had to go from a fast-paced life in the city to an unpredictable island life and back again. He changed from workaholic who was obsessed with living by a tight schedule to someone a bit more carefree who learnt to live in the moment not for it. Tom Hanks showed the expressions and reactions you would expect for someone who had to go through what his character went through and that greatly enhanced the theme and the idea the director created. One thing that greatly enhanced the viewing experience and Chuck Noland’s reaction was the special effects.…
