I understand why they added Wilson to the script and I think it was necessary but I am not sure I would do that myself.

The cave makes sense initially but he never really improves upon it. I guess I am thinking of all the stuff they built on Gilligan’s Island (which was fictional of course). It just seems like he should have built more stuff…perhaps build a hut, a bed frame, table etc. inside the cave.

Also, he was there four years. He could have started building a raft in the first month and had a much nicer raft than the one he used.

I still like the movie. I just think if it were me I don’t think I’d have a Wilson and I would probably build more stuff somehow.

    I don’t think I would have had a Wilson, but I would have had sandals with “Wilson” on the sole.

    I wouldn’t have built in the cave because it would be at too much risk of problems from storms. I would have built a shelter inland in the traditional regional style and built fish/crab traps on the beach while working on finding farmable crops(if there was any). I would have never built the raft because the likelihood of being saved would be lower than putting passive signaling on the beach.

    I would almost certainly not try to leave the island and would become absolutely batshit insane by the time somebody found me or my corpse wearing a coconut crown while sat upon the bamboo throne of The Kingdom of Islandia.
