October 19, 2007tom hanks' scene with the volleyball is truly amazing!!! watching him losing the volleyball in the middle of the storm made me cry too! most of all, this is one rare story of a love which sustained him amidst hopelessness... a promise that was unintentionally broken... a love which gave him new hope to move on and live... i want to watch this again and again...
