From an art standpoint, it took a great mind to come up with a creative way to make the movie interesting. Without wilson, Tom Hanks could have been talking to no one, but the writers of the movie created someone for Tom to connect to and have a conversation with.
Cody this movie sounds quite interesting. I'm not sure that it would keep my attention. Yet, I do agree that this is a creative way to make a movie. If I do decide to watch this movie,I will make it a video night at home.
ReplyDeleteI love this movie! It was very interesting and i'm sure somewhat true. I think this was my favorite movie by Tom Hanks. He really got into character and did a very nice job. I remember i used to go around yelling WILSON!! quite embarrassing but.... i was only 9.
