Crazy Credits
As the credits are "in order of appearance," Tom Hanks is listed a significant way down the list of actors/roles, not at the top as one would expect. See more »
From time to time a group of people with a lot of guts come forward and challenge something, that every average thinking producer would get nightmares to even think about making it.
Fear of failing must come to mind, if the setting says:
only one actor for 80 min (and one dead body)
40 min of it basically limited to: "Hello,.. What's that?.. Albert Miller,.. Over here,.."
no BGM
no adrenaline injections with savages, sharks, snakes etc.
just plain "Life is hard enough as it is."
I loved it for:
the guts of making it
the heartbreaking and real-to-life love story
Tom Hanks' performance
his companion Wilson
great movie / must see
