Satya Prakash's POV
Life is like rowing boat in trouble water.
Films "CASTAWAY"& " HELL IN THE PACIFIC" teach us.
One person is dashed off on unknown, strange, complete
depopulated island when a young enthusiast officer's plans was crashed down.
This very person stayed with secluded portion of a seas shore, murmuring with a
carved human face on a football that has cast away to the seashore. He does not
find alone now. History repeats itself when he knows how to lit fire. He is
here from a modern human civilization where food is cooked on fire. However, on
this solitary seashore, he eats fish and other things without fire. One day
,discovers and shouts in happiness as if
it is a discovery of fire. Yes, for this guy Chuk Noland, fire is discovery on this unknown shore of pacific ocean. He stays into caves while raining. He fishes out and lives on and builds a bamboo
boat and rows against ferocious tides of
sea water to touch a human shore for survival. Tides snatch his human friend
carves on coconut. He jumps into sea and swims rapidly to catch his flowing friend
away but alas ! he does not .He feels sorry for Wilsom( name of carves human
head on white ball) who casts away into stream of sea. He loses his energy. He gets
pounded by loneliness. His ruptured bamboo raft is flowing away .He sees a
grand ship passing on through sea water and he screams out, giving hand's
gesture.
Chuk Noland ( Tom Hank) is in amidst of human civilization
now.
The man reaches his town in America but his world gets
changed. His wife gets married to someone. They are having baby. He fulfills
incomplete work of courier and he rockets out a way from crossroad for survival,
chasing a young girl who states a young beautiful girl few minutes before on
the cross road..
This is a awesome movie" CAST AWAY" lessons us
to be positive and humane even in horrendous moment because life paves
the way for ahead.
Another film British Film " HELL IN THE PACIFIC WAR" is another cast away on the pacific land but
there are two enemies of world war second. One is Japanese soldier and another
is American pilot. They do not understand their languages. Initially, they hate
to each other. Japan Army was fighting with Adolf Hitler and American Army was
fighting with Unified army against Adolf Hitler. They did not have anything for
livelihood. They tie each other in hatred but unconducive and death-like
situation on depopulated shore of pacific ocean come closer to each other for
survival. They help each other. They live with time. They make a raft of bamboo
and they row it against horrifying tides. In midst of troubles in sea, raft
reaches island . In their eyes , hopes of life twinkle and they are on the
island, seeing, searching food, clothes , , wine, books, photos and
shaving box. American reads English but
Japanese does not. One picture makes Japanese
so patriotic and inimical to American pilot.
American wants to say something and Japanese becomes so furious. Their screams and counter screams are
raising their hands against each other . Film fades out with explosion of bomb.
This is abrupt end of film. Director John Boorman can conclude it very well.
However, both the films say a lot about human adventure,
philosophy of life , secluded platitude and rejuvenated life emerging out from
sea world. In crude and cruel opposite life situation, the leading character of
film" CASTAWAY" and " HELL IN THE PACIFIC " fight against all odds in depopulated
pacific sea.
American Film " Hell in the Pacific" released in
1968 goes beyond the conflict of world war second and establishes a human bond
between two American pilot and Japanese soldier.
Such a film inspires all of us to be positive for rowing the
boat in trouble water.
