Well of course I'm not talking about Robinson (he's actually quite "alone" most of the time, as you surely know), but about the movie adaptation. There have been quite a few (even the Tom Hanks starring "Cast Away" can be counted in, if you want to), so why is this different and/or better?
Well the thing is, that this movie sure worked when it came out, with some very nice dialog, some funny scenes and a great central performance. The question remains, how this will be received by an audience that is more than well aware of the Robinson story. Will they be bored? I guess some might and probably will find the movie somewhat boring. Not me though. Mr. Bunuel shows again, what he's made of. And while this isn't his best work or anywhere near that, this is more than entertaining (with a few stabs at the church/God). You might know the story, you might have watched others play Robinson, but this (a bit camp) movie is worth your time!
