He Could Have Gotten Off the Island


he could have gotten off the island if he wanted to. it wouldnt be hard to find some floatation device that he could hang on to and just kick to shore.

He didn't want to leave the island. He founds reasons to live life while there. Once he gets forced off by the officials he gets on the bus towards the tower to commit suicide.

he had a water phobia due to childhood drowning / parental stupidity

he only wanted to get off the island in order to kill himself anyway

(so) after a short while, he started to enjoy the isolation

And what a movie that would have been.

Except you know. It wouldn't.

Snap, Crackle...CALL AN AMBULANCE!

Absolutely. He spends six months, I believe, sleeping in a bird-shaped paddle boat, which is shown to be seaworthy in the last scene. Also, he does try to leave the island. He even tries swimming to shore, despite his fear of the water.

This point really annoyed me.

If you were annoyed by it, you didn't understand the movie at all.
He did not want to live island after first day. As he said, what difference would it make if he goes back anyway? His life was over in civilized world.
