Has anyone ever watched Cast away? What would you do in his gf's situation?

She has a child, and has moved on. She cannot go back to the love of her life without shattering herself. I thought the movie was quite eloquent in this. She would love to go back with him, but can’t, and won’t.
If no kids were involved, there would be a temptation. They would both be starting over,

Even if he turned up, he’s part of the past at that point. We have to live in the present, regardless, and that means keeping our commitments. Marriage is a commitment. I’d feel bad that that’s how things turned out, but you don’t just up and leave someone because the past turns up on your doorstep. If he’s capable of love, then he’s capable of finding someone else to love who’ll love him back.

We’d just have to grieve our mutual loss and move on. That’s what I think.

Super tragic situation. Just kinda hoping I never get put into it on either end.

Maybe the new husband is open to sharing?

To put this into some more perspective, if the movie had ended differently than it did, then there wouldn’t have been a reason for that fantastic end credits music from Alan Silvestri. And if there hadn’t been a reason, then there wouldn’t have been that music.

One of the funny things about this movie that I never see mentioned is the title itself. The title isn’t “Castaway”, which is the word for a person who finds himself stranded on a deserted island. It’s “Cast Away”. Think about what that means.

Yeah, I loved this movie.

I spent the movie vomiting every 20 minutes because I had just had surgery that day and was overdrugged. But loved it. Really tough call. Of course she’d have to move on cause she thought he was dead, but it sucks for Hanks.

She made a tough but reasonable series of choices given the facts she believed to be true at the time the decisions were made.

The tragedy is the reappearance of Hanks’ character when it was too late for his beloved to proceed with any other course of action given where she was in her life.
