Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks) is victim of a plane crash that followed a rough storm while traveling to make a delivery. Not being in contact with anyone for help, Chuck becomes forced to do the only thing he could do...survive When Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks) is washed up on an island which was his way and concept of living. He isn’t communicating directly to anyone but his volleyball friend is displaying his emotions throughout the movie. (Yourdictionary.com) For the most part Chuck (Tom Hanks) is scared and his facial expressions elaborates that fairly well.

    Like most other movies, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days uses many non-verbal cues to let the audience know how the characters are feeling and what they are thinking, art imitating life, as non-verbal communication is ingrained in everyday existence. Non-verbal communication is so pervasive in everyday life, in fact, that one may not even recognize consciously the cues given to them by others. One example of non-verbal cues in How to Lose a Guy took place in the Composure staff meeting at the beginning of the movie. While the woman perceived immediately to be a brown-noser tells her boss about the pieces she is working on, Andie and a friend are making facial expressions at one another that clearly display their annoyance with the woman. Another example is seen in another meeting, this time with Ben, "the Judys," and their boss. One Judy puts a finger to her lips in an emblematic gesture telling the other Judy to remain quiet. A third non-verbal cue is observed at Ben's poker night with his friends. Andie starts coughing raucously, waving her arms around, and making faces at Ben, cues which collectively tell Ben that he and his friends should put out their cigars. One final example of a non-verbal cue in the movie is one, as is often the case, which the person did not mean to and probably didn't realize she was sending. At the party for DeLauer diamonds, Andie is gazing at Ben across the room and his boss makes the comment that he was pretty sure that Andie loved Ben just because of the way she was looking at him. These are only a few of the many examples of non-verbal communication present in the movie How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.…

    Henry Grady goes down in Georgia’s hall of fame as one of their greatest and most influential journalists and orators.
