Well.....if you've become wiser as you get older than you've done something right. Also, this movie gets better with time. Offers some very powerful reminders.
Even after literally surviving a plane crash, and living on a remote island for several years, away from normal society, Chuck still feels guilty for missing the funeral of his friends’ wife. Makes you appreciate how truly good and decent human beings can be.
That stare when he was told what was in his coffin was him realizing that after all his years that he lived, the legacy he left behind was a working man. They buried his working tools and his albums. It was probably a huge reality check, because he probably thought he’d live the rest of his life with his priorities straight now.
I dont think that would matter too much to me. Cause its like, what do I really expect people to put in an empty coffin....thats dumb lmao. A plaque or a bench at a park would be good enough for me.
Interesting way of looking at it but honestly what would someone who had their priorities right be buried with? Like someone who is successful in life or is happy, like I dunno what they’d bury with them. As long as you’re doing what makes you happy in life that’s all that matters, legacy doesn’t mean much
When her husband walks in and introduces himself makes one wonder how would anyone feel or react in that moment. No one is to blame - both men facing a sense of loss, one already felt, the other thinking his is coming. Knowing lives can be torn apart only because of circumstances. powerful scene and very well acted and directed.
@@mainescapade It's pretty suspicious when your wife marries your dentist and has a kid about a year after he died. They definitely already had something going on before.
I like how even after he went home, with all those people talking to him and a large crowd welcoming him back, everything is still quiet. It's as if he still hasn't left that island yet.
It's become apart of him now.. it'll take years for him to adjust back into his old lifestyle. It's like a person coming out of prison from doing time, you're free but for some reason you still feel like you're inside
@@fennec13 nah I disagree. IMO he came back to his senses when he finally delivered the last parcel he was supposed to deliver, and realized he was literally standing on a crossroads, signifying he could start all over again. It's a happy ending.
Yet Kelly's husband said to Chuck on his return: "She had it rough." At least she had people to talk to everyday, try talking to a volleyball solely for four years.
0:24 I don't know if it was Zemeckis' direction, Hanks' improv, or maybe just a coincidence, but the way he picks up that piece of ice that fell and puts it back in his cup is actually pretty profound. It shows he's never going to take anything, even a little chip of ice, he'll never take things like that for granted again.
I'd like to think Hanks was a smart enough actor to improv that (if he actually fumbled the ice and wasn't scripted), as it's something his character would likely do, after his experience, without even thinking twice about it - preserve water.
One of the more subtle things about his character is that in the beginning he was much more vocal, louder, faster. But here he’s so much more reserved, quiet even nervous. What a shift, yet an understandable one
The way the sound of the turbines outside starts to build up after the guy says "I'm Kelly's husband" and it cuts back to a shocked Tom Hanks is such an incredible touch. Zemeckis is awesome with details.
The thing is - people have calculated that he was only gone for a couple years, and within that time his girl got married and had a kid, who was old enough to be his own child as well. She was either pregnant when he left and crashed, or she moved on real quick while possibly bearing his child.
It was four years. And people were urging her...pushing her to move on. So. She could have married a year later and had a baby immediately. Her child looked maybe about one...I'm not a hundred percent. Plus the character would be in a very vulnerable state and might rush into something for emotional security perhaps. Sorry...I saw this movie way too many times🙄@@Varth_Dader.Twitch
1:51 Can’t imagine what Stan is going through. Four years ago, he lost two most important people in his world, his wife and his best friend. And then four years later he finds out his best friend survived the plane crash and alive and was found in the middle of the sea. I think he’s just so happy that he at least got one of the most important people back into his life.
I remember feeling like this scene is the closest thing to describing being a veteran coming home. A whole world, even your family, has moved on. Lives developed, events took place, memories made... without you. They learned a fully functional life without your presence, completely independent (regardless the income being sent home) and you don't quite fit in. It takes as much for them to re-accept you as for you to re-accept them. And in some ways, you're the bad guy, the one who abandoned them - at least in their eyes. Personally I never figured out how to make it work. 13 years since I was discharged. You do get past the humanity of it. You learn to be alone. In a sad but irrational form of logic, its the only sane thing you can do.
Though I myself am not a veteran, nor have I served, I know quite a few that have so I understand what you’re talking about. For some it’s a reason why some vets keep going back too, to retain that familiarity that they’ve lost by going back home. If you’re the literary sort I’d recommend reading a Sci-Fi book called “The Forever War” by Joe Haldeman (a Vietnam Vet). It also encapsulates the “time moves on but I’m still there” kind of vibe as well, though focused on a more military understanding of the concept (like yourself perhaps). Or if nothing else find yourself some Legion Post in your area (or even make one if enough vets are in your area), it might help deal with the (long term) transition.
@@cgallegos2106 yes I agree. It is often why they go back. It’s the only place you feel accepted. I’ll check out the book, thanks for the recommendation. As to the legion post, I don’t really get along with people anymore. A very small portion of me will occasionally wish I had company, then it’s gone. 97% of the time, I’m at peace with solitude. And yes this feeling can be brought into anymore. The military is just a common streamlined method for achieving this scenario. But there are many ways this can happen to people these days, especially men.
@@steeldriver1776 I hope you enjoy it, otherwise I hope it helps. Understandable, I myself am introverted and I know someone who has social anxiety (which isn’t great for them). So I do get it. Not for you personally but I do understand.
I like the little gesture at the end of the speech to Chuck, the new husband thinks to say something, anything, to make the situation better. They both know that no words would make the situation better so he physically swats the thought away and turns to leave.
May 7, 2000. 1500 FedEx employees were used to film the 'welcome home' scene for Hanks' character, Chuck Noland. We filmed our 'scenes' the the hub on Tchulahoma Road here in Memphis. Great times.
Great times back in 2000 I was only 2 years old when this happened I know this was after The Matrix 1 2000 The very first 2000 year ever happened very made
@@Big73Bang, the screenwriter for Cast Away was a Marine and served with FedEx CEO, Fred Smith in Vietnam. That is how FedEx ended up being prominently used in this film. William Broyles was the screenwriter for this movie
What amazes me is at the movie theater where I saw this, the volume was so loud that I had ringing in my ears for months after. Yet, the video clip uploaded here, the volume is so low I had to crank everything up. The irony.
This is a movie about hope. “Who knows what the tides could bring? I just had to keep breathing.” It is Zemekis’ masterpiece. Movies like this (and Shawshank) get me, every time. HOPE
"I hope the pacific is as blue as it is in my dreams. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand." Shawshank's ending was amazing, and the movie's ending is better imo than the book, because in the book, we're left with uncertainty as to whether Red will actually find Andy or not, and Red even mentions that he's not sure whether he can get over the border or not, because he's a felon, and his story ends with "I hope" because he hopes he can find Andy, but he doesn't know. The movie's ending they actually get reunited, and it's just a truly beautiful ending.
His forehead is sunburnt where he was exposed to sun for four years. But his lower face is pale where the beard covered. Nice attention to makeup detail.
On " Gilligan Island," people have unlimited shampoo and sunscreen and unlimited clothes and barber shop for over 12 years on t.v. shows if there was no electricity and no batteries to the only working radio 📻 .
Skipper on Gilligan Island should have lost 60 pounds of fat and water because of coconut 🥥 is a diarrhea laxative food and eating fruit and some veggies without any cows and chickens and only meat is fish and seagulls ? Birds can't fly that far away from America States California and Hawaii Islands.
I sort of disagree. Being on the island taught him how to survive without anything but it ultimately sucked. Going back to the world with a newfound appreciation for the smallest things will lead to a fulfilling life.
Another commenter said it reminded him of being a veteran in the military and your comment shows that too. Most veterans feel better in the military than civilian life.
no way that isn't it. he was hoping and praying to get back to his real life the whole time. the sadness and confusion is that the life he had is gone, his own self from before is gone, he has no idea how to start again, again.
Very thick Bar-b-que steak 🥩 and chicken wings and potatoes with horseradish sauce and fresh vegetables and fruits salad 🥗 and unlimited Pepsi cola and lemonade ice tea with ice and Ultra GIANT Supreme Topping Pizza and that's only a snack ‼️ 😋 LOL 😂 And the rest is Main course of Chocolate Peanut butter cups ice cream and German chocolate Pecans pies a 5 gallon. When I would have coming home to ‼️
The party planning committee really dropped the ball on this. No one thought consider: “he was on an island? Hmmm better pick something else other than crabs and lobsters because lord knows he must have been having his own little feast on that Island! Lol oh hey, Gary! Come on in, we’re just going over the food for the event!”
It's a totally intentional reference to the fact that he had a hard time getting that food during the island. And having it there makes everything so simple for him. It's a way of saying "appreciate things before you lose them."
Watching this sequence as a kid felt soo anticlimactic, I hoped for his reaction crying screaming getting rescued, shaving, his parents and friends crying and hugging him and he would be happy. But none of that happened and I hated it. Watching this again as an adult, made me realize just how realistic this is.. life just doesnt go back to the way it was after a trauma like that.
The fact that Kelly married the very dentist that (we can assume) did his root canal, which led to the absessed tooth he extracted himself on the island, is tragically comedic. This dentist screwed him once before he bedded his wife. I also love that they made no attempt to explore that character anymore because chuck probably saw it exactly that way. This movie did an excellent job with perspective; putting us in Chucks shoes, on the island for so much of the movie and with nobody else Just like him.
It’s always weird to me when people, usually it’s women in my experience, get with a guy after they divorce (or otherwise separate) their husband, and the guy they get with it someone they knew from before. It proves that a lot of women, even married ones, do have rosters.
It's a totally intentional reference to the fact that he had a hard time getting that food during the island. And having it there makes everything so simple for him. It's a way of saying "appreciate things before you lose them."
Titling the film “Cast Away” instead of “Castaway” was such a nice garnish. Little touches like that are brilliant narrative tools. They make the viewers think deeper about the true nature of the story they are being told. But only if they even notice it considering its not like there are bright blinking neon signs/arrows drawing attention to that.
Exactly this. The movie is called "Cast Away" It's a reference to not only the fact that Chuck is a castaway on a deserted island, but also the fact that in his life, he put his work above everything. He casted away everything else for his job at FedEx, and that's actually what ultimately caused him to get stuck on the island. He could have postponed that specific flight, but he didn't, he chose to leave Kelly on Christmas, and go to Malaysia, but the plane crashed. Chuck pretty much took for granted the things he cared about, thinking they would always be there, and then it was all taken away from him. That's the moral of the story in my opinion. Don't take your loved ones for granted, or your luxuries for granted, because it can all be gone because of something as mundane as flying on a plane.
Having watched this movie when it came out and seeing the title of the video seeing it came out nearly 24 years ago makes me feel old. And i was 9 when it came out. Yeah i know others have been around longer than i have but it still hits all the same.
Glad they didn't go with the original ending where Tom Hanks wakes up back on the island and his miraculous escape was all a dream, and he starts punching Wilson repeatedly before the screen fades to black
There's a spoof ending where he delivers the last package to the lady and asks what's in the package, she says "Oh, just a satellite phone, water purification tablets and a butane lighter..."
@@RideAcrossTheRiver It's so sad. Four years is not that long! I feel like it's hard to believe her when she says "you were the love of my life" when she must have moved on pretty fast to have a husband and child already.
It feels so easy to hate this guy… and yet… he has no malicious intent… he was just there for a woman who thought she had lost everything… and now the impossible has happened.
I’d give the man tons of credit if I was in Tom Hanks spot. Dude walked up to me, introduced himself, faced the music of a tough situation, and leveled with me. I at least have an idea, for all intents and purposes, that this is a man who is not corny/weird about some things, and is decent enough to be mindful and considerate of my ex wife.
It's left open whether he had malicious intent or not. I mean he could be shielding his wife from an emotionally overwhelming situation with her consent, have talked her into not seeing him out of fear of losing her or go with an "attack is the best defense" approach if you go by the interpretation that they already had an affair going before Chuck went missing.
maybe Kelly was seeing, or was at least interested in Jerry, and she always seemed a bit flaky prior to Chuck going missing. But she probably hopped into Jerry's arms within days, and moved in within a week or two, since she needed a provider, a companion, since she wasn't the breadwinner. But how much time would you or I have held out for, if faced with the same circumstance? In 6 days, 7 Nights, from 1997, Anne Heche and Harrison Ford crash on an island, and in despair, David Schwimmer, Anne's character's fiance, hooks up with a hotel worker on the second night of the disappreance!!
@@RideAcrossTheRiverbecause the plane crashed in the middle of the freaking ocean, she has no way of knowing he was alive, at some point you have to move on.
@@ChrisRedfield98 Her point will have been in months. Typically the recovery from loss or end of relationship requires about half as long as the relationship lasted, but evidently Kelly had 'moved on' by about nine months.
I love that he apologised to his friend for not being there for him even though it wasn't Chuck's fault, makes his character even more likeable and sympathetic.
“First when she thought she lost you…” This statement seems to add fuel to the ‘fiery’ theory that Kelly was cheating on him the entire time w/ Mr. Root Canal.
Your not the first person to think about this. Many people in the comment section said that she was cheating on him because the kid is 3 years old and Chuck was very into his work
Coming from a family of marines, and army grunts, I can tell you and they’ll tell you the same thing THIS IS NOTHING LIKE A VETERAN COMING HOME. In the army yes you can be far away from home and loved ones, but you always have other army personnel around you. In the marines your never alone like Tom Hanks in castaway. He was alone for years and years on a secluded island, didn’t get to speak or interact with another human being for years. It’s nothing like a veteran coming home, nothing at all
“Stan I should have been there for you. I’m so sorry.” That sentiment…,that apology is so rarely spoken these days but those 2 words have enormous power if we will just lose our ego and say them!
They did him so dirty. This man spent 4 years of his life on a island, surviving. The only thing that kept him alive, the only reason he is truly back isn't because they finally found him it was because he always kept hope in his heart that if he lived one more day that he come back and his wife would be there waiting for him. They say sorry, but really it just their way to cope and feel better. Amazing movie and acting on Hanks part.
There are so many sides to this movie. The literal interpretation we see directly is done wonderfully and while the story itself is fiction, there are certainly people who have experienced something similar to this. And the metaphorical applications to anyone who's been lost and found again; coma patients, veterans of war or abductions. Robert Zemeckis did a great job with this story. And I love how it doesn't have the storybook ending many viewers were expecting. So good.
It wasn’t this extreme, but I got in some trouble and had to go away for awhile. When I got out of prison after 5 years it was like a different world then the one I left. Everything was so different. Friends were strangers. Places I’d hung out at were closed for good. It was like my hometown died while I was inside. I’ve since moved away and have gone back to my hometown a handful of times over the past couple of years. It’s a sad place now. No industry or jobs for the people. It’s like one big retirement community. I get sad whenever I drive through.
Kelly's had it rough. First when she thought she lost you and now this. Yeah, I'm sure that must be really hard for her. I wouldn't know. I was on a plane that crashed into the ocean. I was lost at sea on a raft that had a hole in it. Then I washed up on shore of a deserted Island where I was stranded for five years. I had to find food, shelter, and conduct surgery on myself. That was tough too, but you're right. Kelly needs her space. Why don't you take her home, get some rest and let me know when she's ready to talk. I'm in no hurry. i have nothing but time.
This film is really giving hope of survival against natural calamities ,also deriving understanding of misery in the isolation of an human being😊 😊😊breads love and passion
He didn't get betrayed. That would imply that she knew he was alive and cheated on him or something in that ballpark. Everyone thought he was dead. What was she suppose to do, stay alone forever? She took the time to grieve, accepted that he was gone and with some time, finally moved on. No one is to blame, not Tom's character, his ex-wife or her new husband. It's just a really fucked up situation.
@@supersizesenpai Nah she moved on too quick. She was married within 4 years. That means she grieved, started dating, found a new guy, and got married in the space of 4 years. Come on, be real. She was probably cheating on him to begin with,
So 4 whole years is too little for you? lol Do you have any idea how long 4 years really is? I've lived in the hospital for a little over 4 years (spinal damage) and in that time all my closets college buddies have had kids. 3 of those friends have at least 2 kids. 2 of those friends changed professionals (FYI one of those friends was just recently made VP of his bank branch) My best friends got a second degree and bought a house. My brother passed away. My wife divorced me and just got remarried. She also had a hysterectomy and learned she will never have kids (not my problem but I still feel bad for her). We all went through a frickin' pandemic. All of this was in the span of around 4 years. You are drastically underestimating how long 4 years is. Also who in the hell are you to decide how long someone should grieve and move on? When she saw that he was alive after all this time, we can see how emotional she was. Clearly, she loved him very much and moving on was very difficult or her. There is no way i could blame my wife for remarrying if I had been pronounced dead for 4 years.@@curtismaize
At the end Forrest Gump, he loses Jenny, at the end of The Green Mile, he loses Jan, and here at the end of Cast Away, he loses Kelly. None of his three characters get to keep a love interest for good, so there must be a connection with each of those movies.
He probably left his wife from an earlier marriage to do it. Known plenty of ladies with cheating husbands who left them for someone else. They were all dentists and veterinarians too.
Just one little detail I’ve noticed some people getting wrong in the comments: Kelly and Chuck were never married. They were together for years, but they never got married because life was too busy for them to take the time for that. I think that lends to Kelly getting married and having a kid as quickly as she did- she regretted not doing that with Chuck and didn’t want to put things off again. I also don’t think she cheated, but people see what they want to see.
@@GorgieClarissa No, there's a pretty plausible theory that she was cheating on him before the plane crash. Chuck was gone for 4 years. Kelly and the Dentist have a kid that looks maybe 1 year old or so. That means about 2 years and a few months after the plane crash, she got pregnant from the dentist. Plus, how did their relationship even start? We know that 1 year before the crash, the dentist was recommended by Chuck's doctor, and he did a root canal on Chuck. People speculate that's how Kelly and the Dentist met, and then they started an affair, there's no concrete evidence, but it would make sense. Personally, although this is pretty plausible, I don't think that's what the creators intended.
4 years is way too fast for me as a wife to move on from my “deceased” husband, get involved with my dentist, and have a baby with him. I’d fool around, sure I’m human, but to get involved like that and having a kid, all while still grieving? Yea, no!
Chuck was her long-term boyfriend and the clues heavily imply that she got pregnant three months after he disappeared. I believe she was cheating even before Chuck went away. Probably wanted to break it off with him after new years. This is the reason I believe you shouldn’t put too much faith on someone even if they are your spouse. Human beings are naturally a bit selfish and will always put their needs first. If I was Chuck,I wouldn’t be too sad or surprised considering what Kelly did was nothing out of the ordinary.
I had just spent years on an island kept alive by the fire of someone's memory, only to have some request that I give them more time? I don't know if I could do that.
I imagine that Chuck, inside, during this scene, had a lot of PTSD from being inside the plane. It may not be noticeable to the naked eye. But I wouldn't be surprised at all if that were the case.
Kelly was briefly married to a lawyer, before Chuck came along. Chuck's gone for a few years so Kelly marries her dentist. In conclusion: Kelly gets around...
4 years would be way too soon for me to move on but people handle grief differently. Everyone around likely accepted Chucks fate and slowly moved on. Kelly probably took her a bit to begin to move on but she never accepted he was gone. It wasn’t a clean, cut and dry kind of situation especially when you’re dealing with serious relationships, love, emotions, plans with your life etc. but she wasn’t in the wrong for starting a new life. Still, I don’t think I’d be trying to have a kid with a new woman after my wife. I’d probably take several years of sleeping around and not caring about getting involved.
I love the fact that the white noise grew louder after Kelly's new husband introduced himself. It sounded like the waves on the beach. As if he felt he never left in the first place.
I know this movie gets a bad rep for being sort of boring, but it's truly amazing all the steps the movie takes you through and how, in many ways, there's so much realism threaded through the movie.
@@lizziebkennedy7505 I know some people who think it’s slow, unexciting,…. basically uninteresting. And although I guess I can kind of see where they are coming from… I actually enjoy this movie. It’s not like I watch it all the time - only cause it IS pretty sad. I mean he has to bury one of his coworkers, has no social contact for all those years, and then comes home to find that the world he once knew has completely changed… it’s a tough movie to watch, at least for me. Plus this movie came out not long before 9/11 so, for me it also carries with it that memory growing up. Tom Hanks did a great job with this role and Zemeckis came through with another great film…. Nevertheless, yes, I’ve heard quite a few people say that this is boring and isn’t worth their time.
@@lizziebkennedy7505these are likely Gen Z kids who have recently gotten into this movie. Pretty soon they’ll use the classic “this was so underrated” just for engagement, likes and comments.
You missed the last part of the clip. She did show up. When it came to meet him in that room she couldn't do it. If the clip here had gone on a little longer you would have seen her motion away from the car and back towards the building. She was conflicted.
i can’t even imagine how chuck feels, coming home after 4 years without seeing the love of his life only to find out she remarried another man… that’s the worst internal pain and a true heart breaker for sure :(
@@karenjenner6052 Basically, the only real piece of evidence for this is how quickly she moved on. Her and the dentist have a daughter that looks maybe a year old, meaning Kelly moved on way too quickly from Chuck, Chuck was supposed to be the love of her life, but then she very quickly, and I mean like 2 years later quickly, has a kid with the dentist and gets married. It opens up the possibility that her and the dentist were already really familiar with each other, and that's how she was able to move on so quickly. Personally, although this theory is plausible, I don't believe the writers intended for this theory to be true.
I can't believe this film is 23 years old. Time just goes so fast as you get older.
Well.....if you've become wiser as you get older than you've done something right.
Also, this movie gets better with time. Offers some very powerful reminders.
It's math. Whe you're 20, 5 years is one fourth of your life. when your 40 its one tenth.
Was just thinking this too
I was 30 years old and saw it with my Kelly. And I lost her to someone else too. Outstanding movie.
Can't believe how Tom Hanks has aged.
He's an old man now... Compared to this film.
Even after literally surviving a plane crash, and living on a remote island for several years, away from normal society, Chuck still feels guilty for missing the funeral of his friends’ wife.
Makes you appreciate how truly good and decent human beings can be.
I thought the same thing. What a moment to have for his friend.

And then four years later he finds out his best friend survived the plane crash and alive and was found in the middle of the sea. I think he’s just so happy that he at least got one of the most important people back into his life.
Pretty sure Chuck was the only survivor. I don't remember his best friend being on the plane when it crashed.
This comment says nothing about anyone else being on the plane....

@@theskyworrier That's because nowhere in the movie is his best friend being on the plane crash even implied...
I remember feeling like this scene is the closest thing to describing being a veteran coming home. A whole world, even your family, has moved on. Lives developed, events took place, memories made... without you. They learned a fully functional life without your presence, completely independent (regardless the income being sent home) and you don't quite fit in. It takes as much for them to re-accept you as for you to re-accept them. And in some ways, you're the bad guy, the one who abandoned them - at least in their eyes. Personally I never figured out how to make it work. 13 years since I was discharged. You do get past the humanity of it. You learn to be alone. In a sad but irrational form of logic, its the only sane thing you can do.
Though I myself am not a veteran, nor have I served, I know quite a few that have so I understand what you’re talking about. For some it’s a reason why some vets keep going back too, to retain that familiarity that they’ve lost by going back home.
If you’re the literary sort I’d recommend reading a Sci-Fi book called “The Forever War” by Joe Haldeman (a Vietnam Vet).
It also encapsulates the “time moves on but I’m still there” kind of vibe as well, though focused on a more military understanding of the concept (like yourself perhaps).
Or if nothing else find yourself some Legion Post in your area (or even make one if enough vets are in your area), it might help deal with the (long term) transition.
@@cgallegos2106 yes I agree. It is often why they go back. It’s the only place you feel accepted. I’ll check out the book, thanks for the recommendation.
As to the legion post, I don’t really get along with people anymore. A very small portion of me will occasionally wish I had company, then it’s gone. 97% of the time, I’m at peace with solitude.
And yes this feeling can be brought into anymore. The military is just a common streamlined method for achieving this scenario. But there are many ways this can happen to people these days, especially men.
@@steeldriver1776 I hope you enjoy it, otherwise I hope it helps.
Understandable, I myself am introverted and I know someone who has social anxiety (which isn’t great for them). So I do get it. Not for you personally but I do understand.

This is one of the best movies ever made. Hanks is amazing as usual.
yes.
It is a testament to Hanks's skilled performance that people believed this move was based on a real life story.
This is a movie that is never over. The way it makes you think about things.
I like the little gesture at the end of the speech to Chuck, the new husband thinks to say something, anything, to make the situation better. They both know that no words would make the situation better so he physically swats the thought away and turns to leave.

May 7, 2000. 1500 FedEx employees were used to film the 'welcome home' scene for Hanks' character, Chuck Noland. We filmed our 'scenes' the the hub on Tchulahoma Road here in Memphis. Great times.

I'm always surprised on how FedEx was represented in this movie.
@@Big73Bang, the screenwriter for Cast Away was a Marine and served with FedEx CEO, Fred Smith in Vietnam. That is how FedEx ended up being prominently used in this film. William Broyles was the screenwriter for this movie

What amazes me is at the movie theater where I saw this, the volume was so loud that I had ringing in my ears for months after. Yet, the video clip uploaded here, the volume is so low I had to crank everything up. The irony.
This is a movie about hope. “Who knows what the tides could bring? I just had to keep breathing.” It is Zemekis’ masterpiece.
Movies like this (and Shawshank) get me, every time.
HOPE
"I hope the pacific is as blue as it is in my dreams. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand." Shawshank's ending was amazing, and the movie's ending is better imo than the book, because in the book, we're left with uncertainty as to whether Red will actually find Andy or not, and Red even mentions that he's not sure whether he can get over the border or not, because he's a felon, and his story ends with "I hope" because he hopes he can find Andy, but he doesn't know. The movie's ending they actually get reunited, and it's just a truly beautiful ending.
His forehead is sunburnt where he was exposed to sun for four years. But his lower face is pale where the beard covered. Nice attention to makeup detail.
Great observation
Also notice his hair. Blond on top where it was bleached by the sun, but now it's growing in black again.

It was a great movie. What a classic
24 years ago, this movie came out can't believe it's been that long.
in so many ways, he was more alive on the island than hell ever be back home.
My thoughts exactly
I sort of disagree.
Being on the island taught him how to survive without anything but it ultimately sucked.
Going back to the world with a newfound appreciation for the smallest things will lead to a fulfilling life.
@@TheAwesomeDarkNinjabeautifully said. huge reality check for him. He was always about work. But he came back a new man.
Another commenter said it reminded him of being a veteran in the military and your comment shows that too. Most veterans feel better in the military than civilian life.
no way that isn't it. he was hoping and praying to get back to his real life the whole time. the sadness and confusion is that the life he had is gone, his own self from before is gone, he has no idea how to start again, again.
I laughed my ass off when they did his welcome home meal at the party was seafood. Hahaha it should have been burgers and steaks!!!
Very thick Bar-b-que steak 🥩 and chicken wings and potatoes with horseradish sauce and fresh vegetables and fruits salad 🥗 and unlimited Pepsi cola and lemonade ice tea with ice and Ultra GIANT Supreme Topping Pizza and that's only a snack ‼️ 😋 LOL 😂 And the rest is Main course of Chocolate Peanut butter cups ice cream and German chocolate Pecans pies a 5 gallon. When I would have coming home to ‼️
The party planning committee really dropped the ball on this.
No one thought consider:
“he was on an island? Hmmm better pick something else other than crabs and lobsters because lord knows he must have been having his own little feast on that Island! Lol oh hey, Gary! Come on in, we’re just going over the food for the event!”
It's a totally intentional reference to the fact that he had a hard time getting that food during the island. And having it there makes everything so simple for him.
It's a way of saying "appreciate things before you lose them."
HR manager planned it that way. They knew what he was eating as a castaway, so on purpose they served the same thing to mess with Chuck's head.
A feast of red meat would have screwed him up pretty badly after years of fish.
Cant get over the fact they gave em a seafood buffet 😂
And what did he have on that island, I wonder
thats why he went str8 for the lobstet and had second thoughts lol
It’s the equivalent of taking a kidnapping victim to an escape room. Such a dick move. lol.

Best conspiracy theory. Ever.
Watching this sequence as a kid felt soo anticlimactic, I hoped for his reaction crying screaming getting rescued, shaving, his parents and friends crying and hugging him and he would be happy. But none of that happened and I hated it. Watching this again as an adult, made me realize just how realistic this is.. life just doesnt go back to the way it was after a trauma like that.
Lesson: sleep with your dentist before your wife has the chance to in order to prevent a situation like this from occurring

The fact that Kelly married the very dentist that (we can assume) did his root canal, which led to the absessed tooth he extracted himself on the island, is tragically comedic. This dentist screwed him once before he bedded his wife. I also love that they made no attempt to explore that character anymore because chuck probably saw it exactly that way. This movie did an excellent job with perspective; putting us in Chucks shoes, on the island for so much of the movie and with nobody else Just like him.
A dentist whose last name is Spalding…Wilson’s competitor in the sport equipment industry…fantastic.
It’s always weird to me when people, usually it’s women in my experience, get with a guy after they divorce (or otherwise separate) their husband, and the guy they get with it someone they knew from before. It proves that a lot of women, even married ones, do have rosters.

Titling the film “Cast Away” instead of “Castaway” was such a nice garnish. Little touches like that are brilliant narrative tools. They make the viewers think deeper about the true nature of the story they are being told. But only if they even notice it considering its not like there are bright blinking neon signs/arrows drawing attention to that.
Exactly this. The movie is called "Cast Away" It's a reference to not only the fact that Chuck is a castaway on a deserted island, but also the fact that in his life, he put his work above everything. He casted away everything else for his job at FedEx, and that's actually what ultimately caused him to get stuck on the island. He could have postponed that specific flight, but he didn't, he chose to leave Kelly on Christmas, and go to Malaysia, but the plane crashed. Chuck pretty much took for granted the things he cared about, thinking they would always be there, and then it was all taken away from him. That's the moral of the story in my opinion. Don't take your loved ones for granted, or your luxuries for granted, because it can all be gone because of something as mundane as flying on a plane.
Having watched this movie when it came out and seeing the title of the video seeing it came out nearly 24 years ago makes me feel old.
And i was 9 when it came out.
Yeah i know others have been around longer than i have but it still hits all the same.
Tom Hanks. You are such an incredible actor.
I hate when companies call themselves "families".
Me too! I roll my eyes everytime I hear that
A small company can be one or a department, not a large.
No freaking doubt!!
Join the club.🤬
I've just had a sudden realisation that this is without a doubt my favourite film
Glad they didn't go with the original ending where Tom Hanks wakes up back on the island and his miraculous escape was all a dream, and he starts punching Wilson repeatedly before the screen fades to black
Bruh… I never read about that, but I kinda want to see that happen as a satirical joke.
Is they real or are you joking? Cause I wanna see that alternate ending.
I like better the origina original ending where Tom Hanks wakes up and realizes he he is 9 again and dies
There's a spoof ending where he delivers the last package to the lady and asks what's in the package, she says "Oh, just a satellite phone, water purification tablets and a butane lighter..."
Best ending is the satellite phone ending
This film made me understand that Castaway can have two different meanings.
Yes, Chuck is literally discarded. I watched the same thing happen to my best friend.
@@RideAcrossTheRiver It's so sad. Four years is not that long! I feel like it's hard to believe her when she says "you were the love of my life" when she must have moved on pretty fast to have a husband and child already.
@@lizzy-wx4rx To be fair, Kelly could have come under pressure from that other guy.
I felt like this coming home from the Marine Corps. It was amazing seeing how everyone’s lives had changed.
Felt the same way bro, was Army after my first tour to Iraq I thought everything would just be like it was, it wasnt. Same same after second tour.
It feels so easy to hate this guy… and yet… he has no malicious intent… he was just there for a woman who thought she had lost everything… and now the impossible has happened.
I’d give the man tons of credit if I was in Tom Hanks spot.
Dude walked up to me, introduced himself, faced the music of a tough situation, and leveled with me.
I at least have an idea, for all intents and purposes, that this is a man who is not corny/weird about some things, and is decent enough to be mindful and considerate of my ex wife.
It's left open whether he had malicious intent or not. I mean he could be shielding his wife from an emotionally overwhelming situation with her consent, have talked her into not seeing him out of fear of losing her or go with an "attack is the best defense" approach if you go by the interpretation that they already had an affair going before Chuck went missing.
maybe Kelly was seeing, or was at least interested in Jerry, and she always seemed a bit flaky prior to Chuck going missing. But she probably hopped into Jerry's arms within days, and moved in within a week or two, since she needed a provider, a companion, since she wasn't the breadwinner. But how much time would you or I have held out for, if faced with the same circumstance?

At the time this film felt like a pinnacle for Tom Hanks’ career. It had quite a lot to say on how a person’s life can be radically changed forever.
“First when she thought she lost you…”
This statement seems to add fuel to the ‘fiery’ theory that Kelly was cheating on him the entire time w/ Mr. Root Canal.
Your not the first person to think about this.
Many people in the comment section said that she was cheating on him because the kid is 3 years old and Chuck was very into his work
"Chuck, when they found the wreckage, the thing no one could explain was a dental pick that was lodged in the left engine."
I think she moved on way too fast, personally. It was only four years, wasn't it?
@@lemonhead162they were just boyfriend and girlfriend not married
She was cheating on him before he got stranded.
After spending 4 years on that island, it was kind of his home. Now he was a cast away in the society.
Oh cool... do "Face/Off" next
This classic movie was 24 years ago? man where has the time gone.
When he goes to see her at the house that was gut-wrenching.
Yeah, she didn't wait around, did she? That toddler looks to be about age three, so she was knocked up just a few months after Chuck was lost.
Coming from a family of marines, and army grunts, I can tell you and they’ll tell you the same thing THIS IS NOTHING LIKE A VETERAN COMING HOME. In the army yes you can be far away from home and loved ones, but you always have other army personnel around you. In the marines your never alone like Tom Hanks in castaway. He was alone for years and years on a secluded island, didn’t get to speak or interact with another human being for years. It’s nothing like a veteran coming home, nothing at all
“Stan I should have been there for you. I’m so sorry.” That sentiment…,that apology is so rarely spoken these days but those 2 words have enormous power if we will just lose our ego and say them!
They did him so dirty. This man spent 4 years of his life on a island, surviving. The only thing that kept him alive, the only reason he is truly back isn't because they finally found him it was because he always kept hope in his heart that if he lived one more day that he come back and his wife would be there waiting for him. They say sorry, but really it just their way to cope and feel better. Amazing movie and acting on Hanks part.
She wasnt worth it.

This scene broke my heart
There are so many sides to this movie. The literal interpretation we see directly is done wonderfully and while the story itself is fiction, there are certainly people who have experienced something similar to this. And the metaphorical applications to anyone who's been lost and found again; coma patients, veterans of war or abductions. Robert Zemeckis did a great job with this story. And I love how it doesn't have the storybook ending many viewers were expecting. So good.
Give this man an Oscar

It wasn’t this extreme, but I got in some trouble and had to go away for awhile. When I got out of prison after 5 years it was like a different world then the one I left. Everything was so different. Friends were strangers. Places I’d hung out at were closed for good. It was like my hometown died while I was inside. I’ve since moved away and have gone back to my hometown a handful of times over the past couple of years. It’s a sad place now. No industry or jobs for the people. It’s like one big retirement community. I get sad whenever I drive through.
Sounds like my home town. I wonder if that's just something that happens to most places with time?
It’s like what brooks said in The Shawshank Redemption. “The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry”
Kelly's had it rough. First when she thought she lost you and now this. Yeah, I'm sure that must be really hard for her. I wouldn't know. I was on a plane that crashed into the ocean. I was lost at sea on a raft that had a hole in it. Then I washed up on shore of a deserted Island where I was stranded for five years. I had to find food, shelter, and conduct surgery on myself. That was tough too, but you're right. Kelly needs her space. Why don't you take her home, get some rest and let me know when she's ready to talk. I'm in no hurry. i have nothing but time.
The irony of flying on a plane home from being trapped on an island from a plane crash leaving home.
This film is really giving hope of survival against natural calamities ,also deriving understanding of misery in the isolation of an human being😊 😊😊breads love and passion

All the more heart wrenching when you see her body. Damn.
Bettina outclasses Kelly in every way.
Feels like coming out of prison where the world & family moved on without you.
This is my favorite part of movie
Man Hanks practically gets betrayed by every love interest he's had in every freaking movie. Like, I swear.
He didn't get betrayed. That would imply that she knew he was alive and cheated on him or something in that ballpark. Everyone thought he was dead. What was she suppose to do, stay alone forever? She took the time to grieve, accepted that he was gone and with some time, finally moved on. No one is to blame, not Tom's character, his ex-wife or her new husband. It's just a really fucked up situation.
@@supersizesenpai Nah she moved on too quick. She was married within 4 years. That means she grieved, started dating, found a new guy, and got married in the space of 4 years. Come on, be real. She was probably cheating on him to begin with,
So 4 whole years is too little for you? lol Do you have any idea how long 4 years really is?
I've lived in the hospital for a little over 4 years (spinal damage) and in that time all my closets college buddies have had kids. 3 of those friends have at least 2 kids. 2 of those friends changed professionals (FYI one of those friends was just recently made VP of his bank branch) My best friends got a second degree and bought a house. My brother passed away. My wife divorced me and just got remarried. She also had a hysterectomy and learned she will never have kids (not my problem but I still feel bad for her). We all went through a frickin' pandemic. All of this was in the span of around 4 years. You are drastically underestimating how long 4 years is.
Also who in the hell are you to decide how long someone should grieve and move on? When she saw that he was alive after all this time, we can see how emotional she was. Clearly, she loved him very much and moving on was very difficult or her. There is no way i could blame my wife for remarrying if I had been pronounced dead for 4 years.@@curtismaize
At the end Forrest Gump, he loses Jenny, at the end of The Green Mile, he loses Jan, and here at the end of Cast Away, he loses Kelly. None of his three characters get to keep a love interest for good, so there must be a connection with each of those movies.

Like in the Andes when Parrado had to get in a helicopter and fly over where he'd just come from.
SHE was his life. All his dreams have included HER. His memory had been lost with age and replaced with useful dreams. Healing is moving on too.
Lesson: there’s always somebody lurking to steal your mate when you are not around. Sneaky dentist took the opportunity
He probably left his wife from an earlier marriage to do it. Known plenty of ladies with cheating husbands who left them for someone else. They were all dentists and veterinarians too.
And he wasn’t even a good dentist.
Looks like he gave her the filling
I think she was already cheating on him before he even left. She had had it with him…probably got “bored”.
First da drill
Just one little detail I’ve noticed some people getting wrong in the comments: Kelly and Chuck were never married. They were together for years, but they never got married because life was too busy for them to take the time for that. I think that lends to Kelly getting married and having a kid as quickly as she did- she regretted not doing that with Chuck and didn’t want to put things off again. I also don’t think she cheated, but people see what they want to see.
TH-cam is full of misogynistic dudes from suburbia and overseas.
They’ll be soon to flood this thread with angst and vitriol for Kelly.
I don't think its anywhere remote to cheating. I mean... they had every reason to believe he died.
@@GorgieClarissa No, there's a pretty plausible theory that she was cheating on him before the plane crash. Chuck was gone for 4 years. Kelly and the Dentist have a kid that looks maybe 1 year old or so. That means about 2 years and a few months after the plane crash, she got pregnant from the dentist. Plus, how did their relationship even start? We know that 1 year before the crash, the dentist was recommended by Chuck's doctor, and he did a root canal on Chuck. People speculate that's how Kelly and the Dentist met, and then they started an affair, there's no concrete evidence, but it would make sense. Personally, although this is pretty plausible, I don't think that's what the creators intended.
How do you logically fall in love that quick and get married and have a kid
@@stealth7516 You don't. That's why there's a theory that she was cheating on Chuck before the plane crash.
Working for FedEx for 5 years just to realize that they used the actual CEO in this scene. Tom Hanks

UPS was actually the first choice. UPS didn't want any of their planes to be depicted as crashing. So FedEx got it.
@@jogman262 FedEx had no problem with hazardous cargo killing three people and destroying the life of a fourth person.
So much for Wilson
4 years is way too fast for me as a wife to move on from my “deceased” husband, get involved with my dentist, and have a baby with him.
I’d fool around, sure I’m human, but to get involved like that and having a kid, all while still grieving?
Yea, no!
Chuck was her long-term boyfriend and the clues heavily imply that she got pregnant three months after he disappeared. I believe she was cheating even before Chuck went away. Probably wanted to break it off with him after new years. This is the reason I believe you shouldn’t put too much faith on someone even if they are your spouse. Human beings are naturally a bit selfish and will always put their needs first. If I was Chuck,I wouldn’t be too sad or surprised considering what Kelly did was nothing out of the ordinary.
What a movie. ❤
I had just spent years on an island kept alive by the fire of someone's memory, only to have some request that I give them more time? I don't know if I could do that.
Remember, Kelly was onto her third man.
i always cry on this scene
I imagine that Chuck, inside, during this scene, had a lot of PTSD from being inside the plane. It may not be noticeable to the naked eye. But I wouldn't be surprised at all if that were the case.
If it had been me, I'm taking a ship back to the mainland. Never getting on another plane ever again.

Kelly moved on pretty quick. Chuck was gone what, less than 3 years? Enough time to grieve, marry and have a family....
Kelly was briefly married to a lawyer, before Chuck came along.
Chuck's gone for a few years so Kelly marries her dentist.
In conclusion:
Kelly gets around...
It was disturbing. But time goes so slow when you’re in grief.
4 years.
4 years would be way too soon for me to move on but people handle grief differently.
Everyone around likely accepted Chucks fate and slowly moved on.
Kelly probably took her a bit to begin to move on but she never accepted he was gone.
It wasn’t a clean, cut and dry kind of situation especially when you’re dealing with serious relationships, love, emotions, plans with your life etc. but she wasn’t in the wrong for starting a new life.
Still, I don’t think I’d be trying to have a kid with a new woman after my wife.
I’d probably take several years of sleeping around and not caring about getting involved.
Maybe she got married and started a family so quick is because she wanted something she couldn’t lose? Idk. Grief is so hard.
I never realized what a kick in the nuts this scene was.
What’s s in the box?
A tooth extraction kit with painless anesthesia...
OH… and a satellite cell phone with atomic battery... and GPS.
Asks for a refund on the root canal.
Hilarious
I love the fact that the white noise grew louder after Kelly's new husband introduced himself. It sounded like the waves on the beach. As if he felt he never left in the first place.
He finally was rescued after 4 years like so strange he kept telling them he hadnt died
The fact he cared about his friend more than anything says alot about chuck

I mean he has to bury one of his coworkers, has no social contact for all those years, and then comes home to find that the world he once knew has completely changed… it’s a tough movie to watch, at least for me.
Plus this movie came out not long before 9/11 so, for me it also carries with it that memory growing up.
Tom Hanks did a great job with this role and Zemeckis came through with another great film…. Nevertheless, yes, I’ve heard quite a few people say that this is boring and isn’t worth their time.
@@lizziebkennedy7505it sort of drags in parts
@@lizziebkennedy7505these are likely Gen Z kids who have recently gotten into this movie.
Pretty soon they’ll use the classic “this was so underrated” just for engagement, likes and comments.
@@brocky70what parts were boring for you?
Kelly should have just called ahead and had someone there let him know she couldn't make it, sending her husband was a low blow
indeed, write a letter or something
How does this make it better?
You missed the last part of the clip. She did show up. When it came to meet him in that room she couldn't do it. If the clip here had gone on a little longer you would have seen her motion away from the car and back towards the building. She was conflicted.
@@seanwebb605 thanks
@@seanwebb605 Yeah, because she got involved with another man right away. Ooops!
i can’t even imagine how chuck feels, coming home after 4 years without seeing the love of his life only to find out she remarried another man… that’s the worst internal pain and a true heart breaker for sure :(
This is what happened to Ernie Brace, after he returned from Vietnam after eight years.
There's a video which makes a good case for the theory that she was cheating on him right from the start of the film. There are clues..
Do you have a link to it I need to see!
@@karenjenner6052 Basically, the only real piece of evidence for this is how quickly she moved on. Her and the dentist have a daughter that looks maybe a year old, meaning Kelly moved on way too quickly from Chuck, Chuck was supposed to be the love of her life, but then she very quickly, and I mean like 2 years later quickly, has a kid with the dentist and gets married. It opens up the possibility that her and the dentist were already really familiar with each other, and that's how she was able to move on so quickly. Personally, although this theory is plausible, I don't believe the writers intended for this theory to be true.
