- Nearly 20 years ago, Robert Zemeckis brought us a story starring Tom Hanks about a man trapped on an island, and the change it would have on him and his life. Here's my review for CAST AWAY!
#CastAway - บันเทิง
Love that the lack of new movies is forcing jeremy and chris to review classics.
FOR REAL! Hollywood sucks, there's a litany of great films that deserve this amazing work...
Then "Going Overboard with Adam Sandler"
Classics actually have more reason to be reviewed and given praise cause most new movies suck. Glad he's reviewing the better movies
@@eddieanderson9399 I agree.
@@eddieanderson9399 THIS COMMENT!
Chris reviewed the Last Crusade my favorite movie 😁
Wilson the volleyball was robbed of a best supporting actor nomination for this role
He always had the same facial expression
@@TKe-wf2to you mean bloody expression
Should've inched out DiCaprio for whatever he did that year.
Still better than Brie Larson
Give me a break. He chewed up the scenery.
That moment wilson was gone and tom hanks was crying "I'm sorry Wilson" gets me every time. That scene was heart-wrenching
The Barksman First time I ever cried over losing a sports ball, I can tell you!
It's funny. I actually was flipping through the TV channels and landed on this scene without having seen any of the rest of the movie, and that scene is hilarious if you have no context. Context changes everything
He loved him so much he goes out and buys another one when he makes it back to civilization. If that ain't love then I don't know what is.
Great acting. Truly felt as if Wilson was a character and felt his death. More than paper thin characters of movies nowadays.
@The Infinity Nerd I loved call me by your name
Wilson’s “death” is the worst one in cinema ever. Most beloved mute character ever.
clearly you never saw The Never Ending Story
Artax.....
Also Plank, from Ed Edd & Eddy.
One of my favorite parts of Cast Away is that moment when that ship comes into view right behind him and the very next scene where Helen Hunt's character is getting the phone call. Those parts are so damn effective because it's such a shock when they happen. And the shock isn't just the fact that he's rescued or the fact that we now know that Helen Hunt's character was remarried and had children. No, the shock comes from being so immersed into that life of being stranded on that island with Tom Hanks living such a primitive lifestyle.....to suddenly see something as modern as that huge ship and then seeing a kitchen w/electricity and a telephone and normal clothing.....etc I would imagine that we're getting the same feeling that Tom Hanks character must of felt suddenly having all that right back in his life, even if its only a fraction of that . It's a massive culture shock.
jeremybr2020 One word: Robert Zemeckis knows his shit.
OK, that was five words. Anyway ... 😊
In addition after all the gravity and emotion, the visual joke of the seafood buffet as both funny and oof.
I thought that too. Good Job!
Was it just me or was his, “permission to come aboard” spot on?....
Yes
Manuel Toro did
I got a chuckle out of it. Very spot on!
it's clearly an audio rip from Aquaman, og Jason momoa, not Jeremy doing an impression
I legit cried when he lost Wilson
Agent Carter “Wiiiiilllssooooooooooooooooooonnn!!!!
first film to make me cry way back when
It was just a soccer ball. But one good thing about Wilson: You don't need to feed him.
My favourite quote from the film: "Keep breathing, because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?"
That line echoed in my mind at the end of the film, Chuck practically had to restart his life which most people couldn't cope with, but if you picture what the future could bring then you've got something to live for. I think this film is especially important during this hell of a year (for me at least) because as bleak as things can get, if you hold out, the sun will rise again and you never know what opportunities it'll bring.
I always think of this film and that scene whenever it seems like life is throwing too many curve balls. It helps you to take a step back, take a breath and think, fuck it, just keep going. Proper cure for anxiety or depression.
Is nobody gonna mention Jeremy's Momoa impression?! Holy shit
Perm shunda kumbor.
Awesome impression. Was about to comment that to lol
That in itself was Awesometacular
came to the comments for this 😂
@@saerain WTF🤣
Daniel Day-Lewis did an amazing performance as Wilson. I didn't even recognize him the first time I watched the movie. He really transformed into that volleyball. I've heard that he spent over a year with volleyballs preparing for the role, and it shows
funny!
"If there are list out there of movie trailers that ruined the movie, I imagine Castaway is on every single one of them."
Welcome to Watchmojo...
...and here is our picks for...
...the best movies of 2019....
@jack carlson You nailed it
I read this exactly when he said it lol
One of the most rewatchable movies of all time.
Things I love:
1. very little musical score. It feels so natural.
2. simple story but the details about survival is so compelling.
3. tom hanks making things interesting even without dialogue.
4. emotional gravity on nonliving things: Wilson and the Fed ex box.
5. it inspired me to maroon myself in an island in 2008 and walk on the beach wearing only my undies.
Tell us about #5 please. Did you vlog/blog/write about this experience? I’m looking for a long getaway, personally.
this movie gets me everytime, he lost his wife twice.
Jeremy’s really nailing the bearded Tom Hanks look. All he needs now is a volleyball to complete the picture.
Jeremy Jahns orchestrated the pandemic and lockdown so he would look the part for this review.
Ben Wasserman Gypsy and Danger are his volleyballs.
3:42 The Jason Momoa impersonation killed me!!!
What did he say?
@@sharkbait8090 Permission to come aboard?
permshuntuhcomaborrrd
IKR 😆😆
Ikr it was awesome! You should have heard his impression of Barack Obama on the review of Captain America Civil War. And Jason Statham Impression in the Meg review
"Tomorrow the sun will rise"
Gets me through very difficult times.
Tom Hanks’ performance in Cast Away is one of those rare gems that truly moves you on the merits of the lead actor alone. The fact that he and Zumeckis pulled it off without a shred of pretentiousness is amazing.
Who here cried when Wilson floated away. I was (balling) my eyes out.
That scene always makes me sad. Who knew you could become so emotionally attached to an inanimate object?
Actually, it's bawl-
...OOOoooooohhhhh
That scarred me as a kid. Amazing filmmaking. They literally made you care about a ball. If it was delivered any other way, it would've possibly been unintentionally hilarious.
I laughed at so hard watching that scene. All those years, I’ve been wondering if the filmmaker was serious or they were making a joke.
WILSOOOOOOOOON!!!
I'M SORRY! I'm sorry...
WILSOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!
*Tom Hanks cries*
First time I cried because of volley ball
Thing I love about Cast Away is specifically how Tom Hanks' character deals with isolation - that is to say, the creation of Wilson. That idea that we, as people, are hardwired to need other people to the point that we'll essentially create them if none are around for long enough is a very primal, fascinating, and deeply emotional thought to me.
Like that stuff animal from childhood
Ironically, one of my favorite elements of this movie is the 10 minutes of musical score used to punctuate his transition back to real life. It’s gorgeously understated and guides you right into that melancholy perspective of Chuck accepting his new path in life
Not an island movie, but I really liked Life of Pi.
Life of pi was rad
Also The beach
I hated its ending at the time of its release
I hated the tiger for leaving him alone
Me: I hated the ending as a kid but I love it now.
Literally ten seconds later
Jeremy: when I saw it in theaters I hated the ending. When I watch it now, I think it’s the perfect ending.
Me: 😊
I hated the ending as a kid too ima rewatch it now
Same here. Also, I hated Titanic back then but after rewatching it in 2014 it changed my mind. I really liked Titanic now
I'm not a kid, but I didn't find the ending very satisfying. Maybe they left it up in the air for a sequel.
Imagine being stuck on a deserted island for years, only to return to civilization in the middle of the year 2020. I'd wanna go back there. LOL
Imagine being stuck in an island and completely missing 2020 showing up in 2021 being like "what i miss"
@EOJ G
Trump2020
@EOJ G really? Like, really. We are fucked, and I don't like Trump. You are out of it, dude.
Hahahhhahhhaahahaha
Imagine the island being paranormal and finding a polar bear there and being dead
3:43 Jeremy actually does great impressions of everyone lol
I was stationed in Okinawa for two years and had just transferred back to the US when this movie came out. I never felt so homesick and alone and all I wanted was to leave the island and come home. This was years before social media, before smart phones, where you had to make an appointment at the base internet lounge just to write an email. A phone call home was .89 cents a minute, something done only once or twice a month. At the time Okinawa had only one internet data line, and when a passing ship accidentally damaged it, the entire island was offline for a few months. Those two years were the loneliest period of my life, but when I left I was a different person. A "veteran" so to speak. Then I saw this movie and I connected with it in ways I never thought a film could do. To this day it's easily in my Top 10, and has more meaning to me than almost any other film I've seen. And I still can't believe Tom Hanks didn't get the Oscar that year! I mean, I love Gladiator, but come on, there was no contest. Great review, Cast Away is indeed awesometacular.
This movie really made me cry over a flat volleyball
@Epic Rhino Films Couldn't said it better myself 😄😁
@Epic Rhino Films Here is your academy award for the best comment
I love the fact that this was more of an analysis than an actual review. Please make more analysis videos like this
fun fact: the island that they filmed Castaway on is now used to film modern seasons of Survivor
The movie was filmed in the mamanuca islands !?
Blackops Zombieplaye1 edge of extinction island is actually the island used in castaway
I truly, deeply love this movie and my favorite part is the monologue he gives near the end. Specifically: "I had power over nothing. And that’s when this feeling came over me like a warm blanket. I knew, somehow, that I had to stay alive. Somehow. I had to keep breathing. Even though there was no reason to hope. And all my logic said that I would never see this place again. So that’s what I did. I stayed alive. I kept breathing. And one day my logic was proven all wrong because the tide came in, and gave me a sail. And now, here I am. I’m back. In Memphis, talking to you. I have ice in my glass… And I’ve lost her all over again. I’m so sad that I don’t have Kelly. But I’m so grateful that she was with me on that island. And I know what I have to do now. I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?
"
It's an incredible metaphor for depression and trying to survive it.
Excellent. That’s exactly what I was thinking before I clicked the “read more,” and saw that was where you were angling toward. Kudos!
3:42 That Jason Momoa Impression killed me !!!
Jeremy would be a great impressionist
That “permission to come aboard” killed me
I just watched this movie Cast Away last night on Netflix. It was recommended to me by my uncle. I must say that cast away is a very wild and perfectly executed movie. This movie shows that anything can happen in life. It also shows how the main character adapts to the situation. It also shows how he has almost become mad by taking to a ball who he names wilson. I have given this movie 8 stars out of 10 on IMDB. It’s a must watch movie especially during lockdown times. I was thinking that in the last he would get reunited with Kelly but it does not happen which is something I personally did not like 👍. Watch this movie to watch something different. The island which this movie was filmed belong to the country Fiji 🇫🇯. I find this movie very similar to a novel I read while I was studying in fifth grade. The name of that novel was Robinson Crusoe written by Daniel Defoe.
I absolutely fucking love Cast Away. It came out in my final year of university and my girlfriend at the time turned to me as we walked out of the theater and she could see the smile on my face, she said "you loved that didn't you" Yes absolutely......"I hated it" she said......she's long gone........the fact there's no musical score the entire time on the island and it only kicks back in as he looks back on the island after making it across the reef when he finally escapes is brilliant. I could watch this movie every week. One of the best ever..
Fun fact: the movie was shot chronologically and during the 4 year jump the filming took a 1 year break for Tom to loose the weight & grow the beard.
It’s weird too cause when you look at some of the behind the scenes footage for Band of Brothers, one day he’s just himself, and then later on he’s onset as his Cast Away self.
And Zemeckis used the time Tom was losing weight to go and make What Lies Beneath.
Spenser ooo didn’t know thattt. Another great movie
@@obliviousdave562 What Lies Beneath was not one of my favorites, for sure.
my favorite scene was when he went to meet his ex girlfriend and it was raining and tom hanks character just stood there without minding the rain even a little bit as his gf tells him to get inside..... showing how he became used to having no roof over his head in the rain when he was in the island
🙏
My favourite scene is when they are in kitchen and she is making coffee and we can see the pictures of Kelly and her husband behind Tom Hanks. It's such an intelligent portrayal as our heart is gonna itch every sec we watch it .
@@rayray2528 she wanted him back
Thanks Jeremy, this older movie reviews are making my day just a little more interesting!
Wilson: The Greatest Movie Character of all-time
Ethan Butler Give human Tom Hanks his due. Wilson is the first volleyball worthy of a Best Supporting Actor nod 😊
Wilson had such control that never broke character
*I bet Jeremy's father probably looks like how George Lucas look with head full of hair in his late seventies.* 😃
Bring your dad on, Jeremy.
Tbh, Jeremy looks like George Lucas from the 70s when he was making star wars, minus the glasses.
😃
@@jacobbennett4736 George JeremyJahns Lucas🤣
Breaking up the title suggesting it’s about the casting away, rather than a castaway, awesome.
Never thought about that before 👏🏼
Joey Hilton the noun for a stranded person is CASTAWAY. The title of the movie is a verb telling what happened to him ex. “He was CAST AWAY”
Also could imply all the things he was forced to let go off...
"Permission to come aboard" i died laughing right there
😂😂 same
A Cast Away review? A surprise to be sure. But a welcome one.
I too made a deal with myself, I would not shave my beard or cut my hair after I shaved it all off on day one of lockdown until things went back to normal. I had no idea I would look like Mr Burns hiding away in his casino come four months later.
Lol
One question is still bothering me: what was in the packaging with the wings on it?!? Twenty years later I'm still wondering...
COOOOOOOOOOOCAINE
Zemeckis said it's a satellite phone.
Salsa.
It was the cheating husband’s favorite brand of salsa.
I heard in real life it was a painting
There is an Easter egg within the dvd menu that tells you it's a satellite phone I believe.
My dad “saw” this movie in thearters, he fell asleep right when Hanks got on the island and woke up when he got rescued
holy shit I saw this last month and was searching for a Jeremy Jahns review. So surprised not to find it. Glad you finally uploaded one now! heheheh
The author of True Crime said Ghosts of Tsushima was so good he’s going to dedicate a whole video explaining why it’s a work of art.
Andrew Klavan?
Nice. Ghost and LoU2 are still awesome PS4 exclusives.....
Ben Wasserman lou2 meh
Mr. Mister I give it thumbs up
I have no idea what "The Ghosts of Tsushima" is other than the fact that some people love it, and I've seen video thumbnails declaring it to be total garbage. Based on the title I can only assume that it's about the ghosts of some dead fish.
I saw this in theaters, that plane crash scene had me holding onto my seat for dear life. The ending is a true heart breaker.
P.S. Jeremy quoting Admiral Adama... you are truly the best.
I enjoy that you’ve added movie visuals to your reviews. Adds another element to an already wholesome meal!
Great Review. The only thing, I would have liked your reaction back then and now to Wilson floating away. Just a little thing. Love your channel!
I wonder how FedEx stocks were after this movie
@FML Uh. Ah. Uh.
I don't know the answer to that question😞
I remember standing in line at night to get tickets to see this movie when it opened. I was with my gf at the time and we'd just eaten at Taco Bell.
I looked down at my jacket and saw it was speckled with shredded cheese. So I brushed it off and looked around like 'Yeah, I wasn't standing here covered in cheese the whole time."
Makes you miss the movie theater experience, huh
@@darkop3191 Yep
You remember this after 20 years?
@@jadedemotions9891 he probably felt embarrassed and shared the story. Repetition makes you remember.
@@jadedemotions9891 I have a pretty solid memory of things far older than 20 years ago.
"I'm stuck on an island and my only friend is named Wilson." - Oliver Queen
One of the best Jeremy reviews in a while. Fantastic job
Jeremy's making us experience the TH-cam recommendation algorithm from the early 2000s.
Is anyone else loving Thicc haired and Thicc bearded Jeremy tho
Yes! The longer the sexier it looks (no homo)
Love that you did this review. And I love the hair and beard! Ya gotta keep it!
I love this movie so much. Through against all odds someone has little reason to hope or believe that they'll ever get out alive. And the metaphor goes on beyond being on an island. Whenever I find myself losing my hope, this movie tells me to "keep on breathing."
Thanks Jeremy. This is what I'm watching tonight.
The one movie that's not Wall-E that makes me feel seriously emotionally attached to an inanimate object. Wilson was great.
Tom Hanks was great, and yes. He definitely changed his life playing that role, considering he got diabetes because of it.
This movie will always br my favorite island movie.
One of my favourite films and I love the atmosphere and cinematography with Hanks at one of his very best and I love the music too.
I remember watching "No Country for Old Men" and realizing after a while: "WAIT! Does this thing have any music?". I was so into it I didn't notice.
Loved this movie. I wud say one of my favorite scenes of all time, wud be when tom hanks character and his old colleague are discussing the death of his friend's wife. And Tom hanks turns to him and says. I'm sorry i wasnt there for you. Just so perfect. The selflessness at that point to give condolences even tho he physically cud never have been there. Also loved the scene where hanks drives helen hunts character back home becus he knows shes moved on and he can't hold her back anymore, again selflessness.
Not even really that she’s really even “moved on” because she still loves him and he loves her but they both know they cannot be together and as tragic as it is it’s how it has to be.
I love how you talked about how there is no musical score in him being stranded cuz that's very true it's just the sound of the ocean.
I always enjoy your reviews Jeremy. Your my go-to reviewer. Thanks!
dude you nailed it perfectly! It does speak to that inner thought of how I (or we) would act and wow never noticed the lack of score....Well done sir!
I first watched this movie a couple of years ago and was damn impressed with the plane crash scene. That was intense.
Instantly liked the video at "permission to come aboard" part
Hey Jeremy . Loving all the reviews of the old classics. Especially during this lockdown. Stay safe
I watch cast away again after this review.. fo years I didn’t notice that there is no music when he is on the island.. I always lock on his day to day live on how to survive there.. that is cool that I didn’t notice that.. good review man
Do a review for *WALL-E*
I still cry at "I'm sorry Wilson... I'm sorry" I wouldn't have been able to bear it if you had given it less than awesometacular.
Stranded on an island piece of media. Been rewatching Lost lately. Knowing where it leads, I still enjoy the journey so very much and some of the "unsolved mysteries" i am finding myself putting the pieces together whether the show-runners intended it that way or not. I love that show.
Now on Castaway... I totally agree on the fact that having no music enhanced the experience all the more. Until having music when a volleyball floats away breaking all of our hearts enhances it even more. Snif.... im not crying... you are crying...
Probably need to watch this one again, its been YEARS since I last saw it. Oh and as always amazing impersonation there Jeremy the little Jason Mamoa was cool, hope to see that Long hair in some months XD.
Lol great movie review and that Jason Momoa part u did Priceless lol 😆 lol 😆 👍👍👍👍
Thought there was a musical score playing as Tom Hank's character finally escapes the island and when he loses Wilson the ball.
Love hearing Alan Silvestri's theme when Chuck sees Wilson for the last time. The man can do no wrong.
Great review jeremy! Thank you for being an inspiration for me to start my own TH-cam channel analyzing film and T.V.
Hey Jeremy, since it was Robin Williams’ birthday this past week, can we get a good Will Hunting review
Hell yea, that’s one of my favorite movies!
Or even Dead Poets Society
Or What Dreams May Come...
The martian was a pretty sweet cast away alternative.
@FML alternative as in: you watched one already.
Wilson floating away at the end always activates my eye faucets. Hanks has such a powerful performance that we can feel his loss that deeply. After that much development, he was just as real to us. A classic
Excellent review. I been saying for years what you just nailed in the head with one review. People kept telling me i was crazy and stupid. Thank you Jeremy. 👍
I'd love to know if anyone has seen the Korean movie Castaway on the Moon. A really cool evolution of this idea, I love it.
It's an awesome movie, wish more people knew about it.
I have not seen the Tom Hanks cast away, but I have seen cast away on the moon and man is it amazing
Ever noticed how Tom Hanks´s real life wife is called Wilson?
I guess they named the ball after his wife, to help him act an emotional connection to it.
actually I'm very stupid, the ball is named after the company name, which is also written on it :|
@@gundabalf thats why he makes the joke about his dentitst being named Spaulding
DARK on Netflix just finished its final season and you need to review it. Acting, casting, cinematography, soundtrack, crazy story. Please it needs more recognition. If it was American dialect everyone would be talking about it.
I need to rewatch this movie now... I'm loving these reviews of older movies, they're reminding me of things I haven't thought of in a while.
This movie is very spiritual. I wouldn't say religious undertone, because it doesn't come across that way. Rather, it is a great journey from beginning to end. A character who is completely cleansed of all his demons.
For instance, Wilson is his only connection to reality as Jeremy stated. A 'person' he can have a conversation with. He relies so heavily on that dialogue as a character that he cannot escape the island. He is never able to let go. In the final scenes, when Wilson is lost to sea, it is not a decision that the main character makes. It happens on it's own. He briefly swims after Wilson, but ultimately decides to let go. It is in the moment, that he has finally gotten rid of his past, that consumed him. They very thing that got him lost to being with. He is finally able to be saved in the next scene.
If it's spiritual, it's because we are spiritual creatures. Which we are. But this movie, I thought, was very secular. Not very spiritual.
I would have to agree that I also found it spiritual.
To me Wilson represented “hope”.
To embrace ourselves to “whatever” we have, even if it is little to continue in life.
I was in tears in the end of this movie. I still get teary eyed to this day when i see it. A++
One of your best reviews Jeremy! It got deep.
I'm loving that you reviewing old movies .during thia pandemic . Wonder what you'll review next
That Jason Momoa impression was spot on!
Here's another movie to review :
Catch me if you can.
@@pyro561 don't forget the director
Jeremy just know you’ve kept a lot of people sane in a world that isn’t sane at all. No amount of likes or views can give you the likes or comments to see to let you know how much the people that have been subscribed to you for years appreciate what you’ve done for us. I’ve been for years, and will always appreciate what you’ve done man.
3:43 that Jason Mamoa impression was spot on 😂
I miss “Bathrobe Jeremy” just sayin... thanks for all your videos. Your energy makes my day a little better.
He talked about his depression a few videos back and i know what its like to not care enough to change out of the clothes you woke up in. So with that said im glad he got dressed.
There is no mystery at the end of the movie, we all know he chooses to be with that beautiful girl he met at the end of the movie to deliver that special package to that he saved throughout the whole experience. I sure would like to know what was in that special package that she received so many years late!
Been watching you for years jeremy love hearing your opinions man even though ive seen this movie a bunch and already loved it lol
"WILSON!!! WILSON!" LOVE this one! Great review, Jeremy!
Funnily enough, "Enemy Mine" is the first thing that comes to mind.
Hey Jeremy! Could you review “The Mask” with Jim Carrey? Oldie but a goodie. Thanks bud! -Big Cory
When he lost Wilson,damn it's the first time i cried like a baby when watching a movie.. the soundtrack really nailed the sadness
Really good points on the music! Saw the movie several times and I also didn't notice that!
