I spent the evening watching a couple of movies over at my dad's house, one of which was Cast Away. It's a swell movie, and Tom Hanks holding conversations with an inanimate object made me lol. Then came this scene and I thought to myself:

Did I just really cry over a volleyball?

I just posted about the thing actually worth crying over. :(

Man I cried like a bitch over that volleyball. NO SHAME.

I think of it this way:

Tom Hanks' character had zero human interaction, so he personified and made friends with the volleyball. He had nothing else. So for him, he lost a friend and something he regarded as a human companion.

I suppose it's seeing him get so devastated over the ball that really drives the scene home.

RIP WILSON

Wilson should have won for best supporting actor.

Yes, yes you did. I was extremely sad about that scene as well.

Only Tom Hanks can make us cry over a volleyball.
