The above is a line from Cast Away, the movie that made me a die-hard fan of Tom Hanks...He says this line when he is sitting with his friend when he is back and how he trying to tell him what kept him going on the mission to survive even though there was nothing to look forward to. He kept going just trying to keep breathing every next day...it was the picture of his girl that was one thing that kept him going...
But when he got back...she had married thinking that he was dead...and he says...he had lost her all over again and now he actually felt grateful that she was with him on the island in the form of a picture, which carried hope and will to survive and breathe another day...and now after going through all that...he believes he is now ready for living that same life again like he did on the island..."just trying to breathe the next day..."
What a great movie and what a great actor....and what a great message...
very well quoted!!! I too am a die-heart fan of Tom Hanks. you just pick any movie of his, philadelphia, road to perdition, apollo13, forrest gump,the terminal and the list goes on and on. these movies are more than awesome. I personally think that if, cast away had another actor starring the lead role, it would have been just another below average movie, but its because of TOM HANKS who single handedly enhanced the interest of this movie.
ReplyDeleteYes, the quote itself is just bueatiful! ...bravo and well deserved mention!
