The cave makes sense initially but he never really improves upon it. I guess I am thinking of all the stuff they built on Gilligan's Island (which was fictional of course). It just seems like he should have built more stuff...perhaps build a hut, a bed frame, table etc. inside the cave.

Also, he was there four years. He could have started building a raft in the first month and had a much nicer raft than the one he used.

I still like the movie. I just think if it were me I don't think I'd have a Wilson and I would probably build more stuff somehow.

It’s the year 2025. I have woken up on a deserted island with only a Wilson volleyball. I guess I fell asleep swimming. Happens a lot. 🤷‍♂️. I take Wilson and rename him Willy. I dare not deadname them. I feed Willy coconuts and tears of despair and we live in the cave. It’s cozy there. Just like Nordstrom. I tell Willy I’m seeing other balls. He’s mad and can’t explain why. We have heart to heart. I am human (?) he is ball, we make it work. Cave lets us play so much wall ball. I love wall ball.

4 years pass and my beard blossoms like malnourished shrub. Rescue team comes and says hi. I say no. I go back in my cave and play more wallball. Fuck the police.

I thought it was a neat little film. Good on Tom Hanks for growing his hair long.
