The text's semiotics are remarkably significant. It is a true battle of human intelligence and human power that Hanks does so well to give and some scenes really got to me, it is such a powerful role and does well to rival his other Oscar wins.

The change in character allows Hanks to express his full acting potential and dive deep within the soul of the character.

From being a comfortable and hard working executive at home with his long time girlfriend Kelly (Helen Hunt), to being an isolated figure in different circumstances. Hanks' character Noland is truly remarkable.

As good as Crowe was in Gladiator, I personally thought Hanks made the most sensational performance of his career here. When doing background research on this film, I was surprised to see that Russell Crowe had beaten Hanks to the Oscar in 2001. Tom Hanks (Big, Forrest Gump) stars in his Oscar nominated performance as Chuck Noland, a Fed Ex executive who is stranded on an isolated island after a thunderous plane crash. After watching Robert Zemeckis' Forrest Gump 1994, I thought I had seen a true drama, but that was clearly only the beginning. Films were starting to develop in a way that was never predicted, but so did the actors. At the turn of the millennium technology started to get bigger and better.
