10 Everyday Things You Can't Do Without Thinking Of Movies
9. Thinking Of Wilson Whenever You See A Volleyball
When Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks), a systems analyst for FedEX, crash lands on a deserted island he is left completely alone with literally nobody to share his dread. Well, that's not exactly true. He actually forms a rather strong bond with a volleyball that he appropriately names Wilson. And while Wilson isn't a man of many words he knows how to listen like none other. Thus, making him one of the best friends a person could ask for. When Wilson eventually meets his demise at sea, it's a surprisingly sad moment. Who knew that an inanimate object could stir up such emotions inside of us all? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDSion_tqW4 Now, unless you're Kerri Walsh, Elaine Youngs or somebody who didn't play volleyball professionally then whenever you see a volleyball, poor Wilson is the first thing that will undoubtedly pop into your head. Also, the next time that you're at the beach and you and your friends decide to play a friendly game of volleyball, don't be surprised if you find yourself screaming WILSON at the top of your lungs for no apparent reason.
