In 2000, the legendary Robert Zemekes film "Outcast" was released on wide screens. Actors of any level dream of starring with such a great master, but the main role was given to Tom Hanks, the director worked with him before. And this decision seems to be the only right one after watching, because there is hardly a person who does not recognize the unconditional talent of the man who played Forrest Gump.
In addition, in the film “Outcast”, the actor also acted as one of the producers of the film, which was expected to be a great success at the box office. First of all, the tape is remembered for its brilliant script and, of course, an excellent cast. The plot was based on a sincere and heartbreaking story.
Plot
Events unfolding in the film, unwittingly refer to Robinson Crusoe. But only in the center of the plot of this picture is an ordinary employee of the delivery service Chuck Noland. The protagonist of the adventure drama Outcast (actor Tom Hanks) devotes all his time to work, forgetting about his personal life. Once he gets on a plane that is not destined to reach its destination: it crashed. But Chuck manages to escape, but the cost of this miracle is imprisonment on a desert island.
This state of affairs is unlikely to plunge anyone into panic and hopeless despair. Later, a storm of emotions recedes and clears a place for bearing a plan for survival. Left alone, Noland finds time to rethink his own life and the mistakes of the past. However, sooner or later, solitary confinement can drive even a guy with the most persistent psyche crazy.
Outcast: The Main Actor
The name Tom Hanks is firmly established in the history of American cinema, and the characters played by the actor are forever remembered by viewers of all ages and nationalities. He began acting in the 70s, which he continues to do actively to this day. For many years, the actor took part in a variety of projects, but real fame came to him after the role of Forrest Gump in the film of the same name, which, according to most polls, is one of the three best films ever made.
Hanks' career immediately went uphill, and now the actor is considered one of the most sought after in Hollywood. In the 90s, the most significant paintings with his participation came out. These include such masterpieces as “Saving Private Ryan,” “Apollo 13,” and “The Green Mile.” After the film “Outcast”, the actor took part in no less amazing films, among which “Terminal” and “Da Vinci Code” stand out.
Other actors
One of the main advantages of the Zemeckis paintings are realistic characters that cause sincere sympathy. Although in the film "Outcast" actors and roles are represented in extremely small numbers, they are enough to make the story saturated.
Oscar winner Helen Hunt played Chuck's wife. She can be seen in tandem with Jack Nicholson in "It Can't Be Better", and also with Mel Gibson in "What Women Want."
TV series star Chris Noth, familiar to the audience as the dream man Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City, appeared in the guise of a dentist who once treated the main character, and after his disappearance married his single wife.
Nick Searcy played on the screen a friend of the character Hanks. He became famous thanks to such films as “The Fugitive” and “War”, and recently he has been actively starring in popular TV shows. Although their roles were small in The Outcast, the supporting actors did an excellent job and brightened the story with their presence.
Awards
The paintings of Robert Zemeckis were nominated for most of the famous film awards and won more than once. According to critics, the film about a man stuck on a desert island was far from triumph, especially after the previous creation of the director Forrest Gump. Nevertheless, for the film "Outcast" actor Tom Hanks won many nominations for the best male role. He attended the ceremonies of the Guild of Actors, the British Academy, MTV Channel Awards, Oscars and Golden Globes. But he managed to win the victory only at the last. However, this was hardly a big omission for the film crew, because the picture collected more than $ 400 million at the box office, and as many as 2 Oscars appeared on the shelf at Hanks in the 90s. In addition, the awards do not represent such great value, in comparison with the emotions and feelings that the film aroused in viewers around the world.
