Hello all,
Two films directed by Robert Zemeckis. Two films composed by Alan Silvestri. Two films with Tom Hanks as the protagonist.
But not alike in any sense
In Forrest Gump we see Tom play a mentally challenged character who has NO urge to control any aspect of his life and is just going with the flow of whatever life throws at him. A character that would easily be way over the top or underwhelming, if it were not for Hanks walking that tight rope perfectly. Easily one of the most memorable characters in cinema history.
In Cast Away we see Tom play a man who DOES have that urge to control everything. His arc of losing that urge and slowly realizing he can not control anything is beautifully done. The realistic look he gives us into the breaking mind of someone who is stuck on an island for 4 years is special. Nevermind the physical lengths Hanks went to for this role, losing 55 lbs.
Which of these 2 movies is the more impressive Tom Hanks Performance to you?
