Der Ver- schollene ( The Castaway / Amerika ) and Das Schlo ( The Castle ) lack a conclusive ending, whereas Der Proce ( The Trial ) does end with Josef. Later, onboard the overnight flight, Chuck asks if the sudden turbulence could be “from Santa and those eight tiny reindeer.” If it were already the evening of Christmas Day, Santa already would have delivered his presents, and he and his reindeer would presumably already be back at the North Pole. During this dinner, which has to be on Christmas Eve, Chuck receives a notification on his pager that FedEx needs his troubleshooting skills, apparently in Malaysia. The scene after Chuck falls asleep features a “ Christmas dinner” with Kelly’s relatives, played by some terrific actors, including Joe Conley, Dennis Letts, Nan Martin and Timothy Stack. In a prior scene, after Chuck returns from Moscow, he falls asleep on the couch of his home with Kelly, while a CNN anchor announces that “Just days before Santa departs on his annual gift-giving venture, he’s been declared physically fit to fly,” and then declares that “Santa Clause took off into the wild blue yonder for an early start,” presumably meaning prior to the traditional Christmas Eve start of Santa’s journey. Cast Away is ostensibly a movie about survival. ![]() ![]() By my interpretation, within the film, it’s clear that the flight is on Christmas Eve. Kelly Frears should be ashamed of herself. Some sources online indicate that Chuck’s flight is on Christmas Eve, while others state that it’s Christmas Day. heroic Avatar like stories that even prodigious screenwriters in Hollywood or Bollywood could have outshined at penning a more magnificent epic ending. ![]()
