Wilson, just a volleyball? …goodbye

Last night I watched the desert island for the rest of my life. I saw the male protagonist pulling the rope desperately to swim towards his friend Wilson. He shouted while swimming, and even threw the rope directly behind him when he tried to catch Wilson. Wilson just cried. A volleyball?️, a lifeless volleyball, is the hero stupid? Can't find a substitute if volleyball is gone? Just a volleyball, is it worth it? Is it worth almost sacrificing your life for it? It’s worth it, because the male protagonist gave this volleyball the meaning of "friend". After he gave it this meaning, there was a connection and a bond between them, so this volleyball became so important to him, so important. Even more than his own life... It's the same as the little prince and his rose... Wilson is just a volleyball in the movie. What about people in real life? Living people, real communication and feelings, warm touch... Do you let it go when you say let it go? Is it really that easy? My friends always say to move on, and I also know to move on... But that’s my Wilson... I think of Lermontov’s "Maybe I don’t love you anymore, but I pay for you." Passion. Like a temple, even if it is barren, it is still an altar. A statue, even if it collapses, is still a god."...

In the movie, the male protagonist failed to save Wilson. He lay on the bamboo raft and cried and said: I'm sorry...and what I might say is: goodbye...I tried my best...

Although people are social animals, they are born lonely...
