      Maybe Matt's flim commentary is more of a mirror for his own spiritual beliefs. These beliefs coincide with many other people's systems. These people include the writers, directors, film crew, and actors of this film and all other media. It might be correct to state that all media is a mirror that shows us the psychology of a given culture.

    So I stumbled across a gold mine here on accident. I've been seeing videos on Cast Away pop up on my page recently because of Owl City's new song Kelly Time, which is about the film. Once I figured that out, I had to go watch that film again. It had been something like 10 years. But now, having seen these 2 videos, I think I have to watch it again. It's become something very special to me, as Owl City has long been my favourite music artist and means so much to me. But now having a song of his dug way deeper than I ever thought, and all from what I've found to be an amazing channel that delves into films more than most, a channel that holds the heart and soul of who seemed to be a beautiful man, I feel so much more depth to everything. All these random little coincidences have led me to this weird amalgamation. Glad to have stumbled upon these videos.
    Thank you for putting some sense to this strange little journey of mine, Matt. Rest easy in Jesus.

    Thank you Matt. You touched a lot of lives brother. I think you are brilliant my friend. I'm so sorry the world lost such a special person. I can't imagine the loss your family must feel. To be honest I have a friend named Charlotte who had two brain surgeries and I tweeted Matt maybe 6 months ago to pray for her and I never heard back from him. And Matt always answered back. Whether it was something personal or about his video on UA-cam. I feel terrible that he was struggling and I was asking him to pray for someone else. I really feel terrible. I thought he was getting better. I didn't know. I'm sorry Matt. Today you are in paradise. You truly were a good Christian. And a very genuine person. My prayers and love our with your family Matt.
