How Wilson wasn't even nominated for best supporting actor is beyond me. He was robbed!!

This is my mother's favorite Tom Hanks movie.
Forrest Gump
@@captainofdunedain3993 Same.
I feel like there is a hidden undertone that Kelly was cheating on Chuck with the dentist? He reactions when he surprises her in the beginning, the akward xmas dinner, and the guy say “when are you gonna make an honest woman of Kelly” Chuck couldn’t get to the Dentist because the Dentist was already with her and he was avoiding Chuck.
Also she had those kids pretty quick right after he went missing. Also what Chuck says in his monologue makes sense. If she really loved Chuck, she would have gotten back with him. No woman that loves a man would have let him go and stayed with her husband she didn’t love.
You got so so wrong about what was happening.@@tulacagas
COULD YOU IMAGINE if he was laying in the hotel room looking at the watch and it zoomed in and it actually was a picture of Wilson 😂😂😂
It would have made me laugh so much lol
Beautiful.
lmao
I'm glad he got to deliver the winged package at the end. That lady waited forever for her solar powered satellite phone.
Exactly! 🤣
With the signed divorce papers.. :)
I loved the line “I’ve got to keep breathing. Tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring”.
There's an old super bowl commercial that spoofs the ending. The guy asks her what's in the package and she starts pulling out all this survival gear; you can probably find it on TH-cam 😀
Ah Cast Away, the Tom Hank's performance so good it made us cry over a volleyball.
“ The terminal “ with Tom Hanks is another side of his acting skills. Truly amazing!
The end hints that he goes down the same road as Bettina, the wings lady. It hints that he goes to her and presumably lives with her, happily ever after. The look on his face is happy.
It's open ended. It's what you want it to be. I don't get that feeling he goes to her because if he wanted her he would have said who he was and why he was there. Instead he lets her drive off. I interpret the smile he now has hope to live again.
@@petercofrancesco9812 When he talked to her, she was just a friendly Texas lady who gave him directions.
It wasn't till she was driving away -- and he saw the angel wings on the back of her truck -- that he knew they had a connection that might be worth pursuing.
I guess we will have wait for the sequel to find out what happened.@@wwoods66
To me, the smile at the end signifies that he can make a choice as to what he wants to do, whereas on the island he had power over nothing.
@@petercofrancesco9812 I mean, I'm not sure he was aware that was her until she drove off and showed the wings on the back of the truck, so it's possible he circled back to thank her in person.
I once made a reference to this movie when I was playing ball at a lake and one person threw the ball far away. I yelled, "Wilson!" Good times.
It's nice when others catch the references lol
Robert Zemeckis is a freaking genius. Notice that in first half of the movie he forgoes the use of almost all music. Then when Chuck finally manages to leave the island - the island he spend four years of his life on - this beautiful mournful song sets in and hits you like a ton of bricks. That and the loss of Wilson always gets me.
One of the scripts for the movie said the package contained a jar of salsa and a letter attempting to save a failing marriage.
There's a theory that Bettina is his actual soul mate, the wings on that box helped keep him going, he saw on her truck that she's got the wings on there too. He turns back and goes to her. Also, in the box was some homemade salsa ( the husbands favorite ) and a letter trying to reconcile with him. He returned it to sender which is how it was on the plane with Tom.
I always thought that was implied and not a theory. No reactor ever picks up on this but when my family got out of seeing it in the theater, we all came to that same conclusion.
@@WheresWaldo05 They just did.
@@WheresWaldo05the information at the end regarding the salsa etcetera, is in the script
Also, isn't the husband cheating on Bettina in Russia? We see him in a robe wearing cowboy boots
Would a package being returned from Moscow to Texas be routed on a plane from Memphis to ... wherever (western Pacific region)?
I always assumed that it's a _different,_ outbound package from Bettina, which Chuck "return[s] to sender".
saw this film as a child. When I found myself in this situation I often remembered him. after 9 long years I returned to civilization and... everything that people worry about is not important, it is not worth it. unfortunately, a person must first lose and only then begins to appreciate what he has, friends, people around, ordinary things
@@WheresWaldo05 don't take it literally. There are plenty of other options to be cut off from society, polar explorers, astronauts, sailor on submarine, prisoner of war and many more options. my story is long and that’s not the point at all
8:55 “Is that important?” Very. It’s the tracking beacon device that would’ve allowed a rescue team to find him in short order. The red part that got stuck and broke off.
That would have made the movie a lot shorter, had it not broke off lol
@@VerowakReacts Yep, hehe. I only know what it was because my grandpa was a commercial fisherman his whole life. He had something similar on his boat’s life raft and I remembered him explaining what it was in case it was needed when I tried going on one of his 10-day trips with him. (I did nothing but get seasick. Haha. No fisherman’s life for me.)
30:10 "Wilson this is no time to play around" 🤣 I see what you did there.
I like your sign; that is a nice sign. And lovely gift.
Something a lot of people miss is that the movie isn’t titled Castaway (lost at sea) it’s titled Cast Away (as in thrown out). Subtle difference but once you take it into consideration it changes the perspective.
Very interesting, it definitely changes the perspective!

When Tom Hanks climbs that little mountain for the first time to look around: You raising a little from your chair to see better... Adorable! LOL!! 😂
I saw Tom Hanks in an interview and he said that he has been asked quite often what was in the box. He of course had no idea, he did say that the ending he plays out is he goes back to the house with lady and they get married and make babies.
I love how you can still buy a Wilson volleyball with the bloody handprint off the shelves. I kinda want one now.
I never noticed that, Wilson in the passenger seat!!.. The lose and promise of things and people... To this day, I always go swimming shout "Wilson" and sees who looks up lol... great reaction and commenting :)
I absolutely love that he got a volleyball! 🥰
...one more bit of trivia: Tom Hanks' wife's name is Rita WLSON...🙃
I’m always envious of Chuck at the end. He would have gotten a MASSIVE settlement from FedEx, and never has to work again.
Definitely would be nice to not have to work again, and just do the things you love
Wouldn't the company's defense in court have been that the plane crash was force majeure/an act of god? Chuck's plane crash could be blamed on an unexpected weather event or a mechanical failure of the plane Fed-Ex had no way of knowing about, could it not?
Yes, I think the "Noland = no land" is intentional. Also note that the name of the movie is Cast Away and not Castaway. We see at the beginning that Dick was cheating on Bettina, and there are clues that Kelly may have been cheating on Chuck with the dentist even before Chuck disappeared. We also see that Kelly did move on and get with the dentist quickly enough to hint that she "cast Chuck away". It's fitting, then, that Chuck and Bettina should get together at the end (if they did, but again, we sort of only get hints).
the orange bag that he lost was basically all of the survival gear. meaning food, water ,tarp, some mean of communication, emergencyflare and maby a knife ect. everything he could have needed
We all cried for a volleyball, it's crazy what can be done with the magic of a movie.
For a really good laugh with a young Tom Hanks I suggest you to watch/react to The Money Pit.
Seeing your eyes well up when he lost Wilson def made me tear up extra
You deserve a nomination for best reactions
😊Aww thank you!!
20 years and a few dozen viewings later, the volleyball still gets me. Damn fine filmmaking.
It absolutely is!
Congratulations on your sign, Verowak! ⚽ Director Robert Zemeckis really knows how to tell a tale, doesn't he? ෴ My interpretation of the end is happy. I think 'Chuck' decides to go back and talk more to 'Bettina Peterson'.
He definitely does and it's made fairly obvious
I've seen many reactions to Castaway but I think this is my new favourite. "Wilson can't swim" and the multiple instances of "thank you Mr Whale" were particular highlights
Wilson and Mr. Whale were so good for Chuck!! I like to think Mr. Whale kept looking after Wilson after he floated away
@@VerowakReacts I believe Wilson made it to safety. I'm sure I saw him at SeaWorld doing an act with the dolphins!
My favorite quote from you was “Wilson can’t swim!”
Loved this reaction.
🥰Poor Wilson :(
23:40 fun fact: him being skinny was one of the first scenes they did from/for the movie.
The 87 hours delivery time scene reaction was hilarious 😂
I'm glad you thought so! 😁
That Wilson is one hell of an actor!..Method, I guess, 'cause he really pulled off that whole volley ball thing!
I was convinced, that's for sure!
Inside the box he never opened, according to the director was a waterproof hand crank powered satellite phone.
Wilson does not know how to swim!
Omg you are the loveliest most adorable empath. ❤❤❤
😊
The 'little red' bag attached to the Life Raft is the automatic beacon transmitter that is activated by salt water. Unfortunately it has to be within a few feet of the surface for it's signals to make it anywhere, not miles down in the water.
It goes to show how advanced camping skills can save your life - like being able to start a fire without matches.
Oh that's WAY more important than I thought! Damn!
"I call Shenanigans" is my new favourite saying😂
There was a joke Easter Egg on the DVD release of this movie that revealed what was in the package that Chuck was returning to the ranch at the end of the movie: it was a solar-powered, waterproof satellite phone.
🤣🤣Perfect!
Was it on the DVD or are you thinking of that Super Bowl commercial?
If you can captivate an audience and hold my attention for almost an entire film, alone...Tom Hanks never made a bad film, even when he was the "local idiot" in Forest Gump he was brilliant.
Bachelor Party
@@texasdustfart Cloud Atlas
Oooh, hyped for this, this is a very Verowak movie.
It very much is! 😁
The only thing that bugs me is by the time he's rescued he's got a dark tan from the island, then cut to him on a plane a few weeks later and the tan is gone.
Maybe his tan was just a fine layer of dirt 🤣
A few weeks is plenty of time for a tan to fade. (*Without repeated exposure, it lasts around 10 days) He still had some tanning and his hair was still lighter/ highlighted from the sun.
The director started the story that the unopened box had a solar-powered waterproof satellite phone
You figured out a lot just before the movie revealed key points. Great job.
Everyone cries for Wilson. 😢
Clearly I would be able to survive on an island 😅I wish lol
She is very good at that, it's because she pays attention to every detail!
Definitely not a first watch. Title draws more people in 😂
@@Variety_plus 100% a first watch, the story about someone surviving on an island isn't rocket science 🤣
Indeed, I noticed this as well.
The producer would not let hanks have a lighter for the fire making scenes, he literally had to figure out how to make it himself. That's genuine joy you see!
At the end the movie points out all the things we take for granted. Start listing them and you will find it's endless.
I've always liked to believe the package contained a satellite phone with solar charger.
I agree. They should have added an 'Alternate Ending' where he finds that out when he goes to meet Bettina.
Wilson got "spiked" out of a academy award, only Chuck didnt take a "dig" at him. They "served" up happiness together and "side out"
It’s implied that he follows Bettina and her wings, but you have to make up the rest , just like it’s now up to him to chart a new course, start a new narrative and find new love to be able to let Kelly go etc…
The box he didn't open had a solar powered GPS satellite tracking phone. Lol.
This should be an emotional exciting reaction!
What a ride it was! 😢😭
Very nice reaction & discussion! This did have a happy ending...sort of. His last look was towards the woman's ranch.
It's not the happy ending that I was expecting, that's for sure lol
@@VerowakReacts ironically beautiful that if Chuck did find his happiness with Betina, it was smack dab in the middle of a sea of dry land, just about as far away from an ocean as he could get in N. Amer.
Tom Hanks has made me cry over this GD volleyball so many times.
Loved this reaction.
Never would have thought a volleyball would cause so many tears
Great Reaction....
The dedicated Professional.... He was trying to save the packages, Initially....... Would you expect anything different from an employee that Stol--- Borrowed a bicycle to finnish deliveries.....
Footage early in the movie there was pictures in the background of his saling, so he had some understanding of the process... (which you noticed)
During the 2003 superbowl, there was a FedEx Superbowl commerical that spoofed the ending scene of this movie, and he asked what was in the Package.... she replied "Nothing Really, a Satellite Phone, GPS LOcator, Fishing Pole, Water Purifier tablets, Seeds.... Just some silly stuff"....
"Wake up, wake up, Wilson doesn't know how to swim"... a great line among many VWak! If you're not in everyone's top 10 reaction channels, they got issues 😅
This is one of my favorite films. It was great to see your reactions. Back in the day, seeing it in the theatre was an awesome experience. You wouldn't think a movie about guy getting stranded on an island would be better in the cinema, but it totally was. Just after the plane crash where he's getting near the engine that explodes, the scale of it and the way it was filmed made it feel real. And then the shot a little later, of him just floating on the ocean in the raft with the huge waves gave me a feeling of vertigo. Not really knowing which way was up or down. Then when he crashes into the rock, you get glimpses of the island with the lightning strikes. That also felt real and imposing, because the lightning strikes lit up the theatre the same as it did from Chuck's perspective, and the island looked enormous in silhouette. Several others, like all the shots from the top of the cliff, the shots of him sailing in the storm later, the size of the whale, and then the biggest one being the ship that comes up behind him. It felt absolutely massive. The audio played a huge role in all of this, too. It was just, a very well put-together film and really made for a great experience in the theatre. To this day, if I watch it, I do it in the dark with all the lights off.
I was only 12 when I saw this in the cinemas and I was enthralled from start to finish. Probably the best and most memorable cinema experience I've ever had.
Who would’ve thought that a movie with Tom Hanks being stranded on an island in the middle of ocean, stuck with a volleyball for a good portion of the film was going to be so heartbreaking?
The single take shot near the end when he’s describing having control over nothing always makes me tear up. Still one of the best bittersweet movie endings I know of. But I’m glad they never went with a happier ending, I think it would’ve felt cheap and forced. Great reaction!
No not Canada! I like to think he followed the wings and they lived happily ever after.
Tom Hanks probably looks a lot like our pioneer ancestors did. They worked from before dawn til dusk and had very little body fat on them. I saw a program on TV called PIONEER HOUSE where a family had to live for about a year like people did in the mid-nineteenth century. The man ended up with almost no body fat. He had lost over 40 pounds.
Tom Hanks got nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for this performance and probably should have won. But he did win 2 in a row for Philadelphia and Forrest Gump- which is one of the top 5 or 10 movies of all time. You must react to that.
Forrest Gump is on my list, and now I'm curious about Philadelphia!
Definately one of Hanks best work. Awesome sign btw, awesome react :)
I'm curious if Tom Hanks has had a bad movie lol. Thank you, the sign is amazing!!
Hi Miss Verowak, nice to see you in the chat for the premiere!😊 When Tom Hanks started making movies in the 80s he just did comedies. You should check one out some time. "Big" (1988) is one of his most popular comedies, but I also like "The Money Pit" (1986) as it is a goofy comedy. Great reactions to this somber Tom hanks drama, Miss Verowak!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
Hey Mike! I'll have to check out some of his comedies! I only know him as a dramatic actor, so I'm excited!
Yeah, he actually started off starring in the 1980 TV sitcom "Bosom Buddies".@@VerowakReacts
I was taking a storyboarding class at the Art Institute the year before this came out, and I got to see some early storyboards from it. (the whale scene I remember) Now that I'm past 40 the messages of the film are more relevant than ever - life goes on and you still never know what the tide will bring in!
My oldest boy was about 5 when this came out... he cried sooooo bad when Chuck lost Wilson he had everyone in the theater balling😂
Yep. We all cried over Wilson, & couldn't believe we'd do it either.
This is really the sign of some great acting (along with writing). When you have what's basically a one man show, this good, it's incredible. Another movie on the same lines as this is Moon, staring Sam Rockwell.
Moon is on my list to watch this year! I love me some Sam Rockwell, ever since Green Mile :D
@@VerowakReacts yes Moon will be awesome :) Not sure if you have seen it yet but The Martian has similarities i guess. Another great movie you might wanna consider adding to your watchlist is Mr Nobody (Jared Leto)
Hell yeah, Moon's great.
4:03 - “That’s not bad….. That’s terrible” 😂😂😂
I was promptly corrected 😂
@@VerowakReacts you don’t need me to tell you this, but you are brilliant and hilarious- keep shining on. 😊
@@joshuacoldwater Thank you 😊
Perfect wave to take a Morey boogie to 💯
The unopened box had a solar powered satellite phone in it.
I think as Chuck, I would rather not know what was in it if I decided to not open it 😂
There’s a FedEx commercial that did an “alternate ending” of this movie where Tom Hanks’s character lingered in the front porch so he can watch the lady open the box and see what was inside. It’s called “FedEx Super Bowl commercial” or something like that if you’re interested!
"On a long and lonesome highway [...] list'nin' to the engines roarin'" ... great song! Both Bob Seger's original and Metallica's amazing cover (the music video delivers quite a gut-punch).
I didn't know Bob Seger made the song, I'll have to listen to it now! I always thought it was Metallica's original song!
@VerowakReacts The whole Garage Inc. album is all covers - lots of great songs I never knew before Metallica covered them, either 😅 (and a few I did)
I have to confess - I prefer the Metallica version in more than one case... it's a great album 😄
On a long and lonesome highway
East of Omaha
You can listen to the engines moanin'
Out this one-note song
Like Crash Davis in Bull Durham, I hate it when people get the words wrong. 😁
@@hollishamilton3943 You're correct, of course. I thought about correcting it... but I didn't want to misquote her or put a "[sic!]" there.
Hanks was popping back and forth between this movie and the production of Band of Brothers.
Ahh that makes sense, but I didn't really think of it, I assumed it was one at a time lol
Happy belated birthday 🎉 I really enjoy your reactions❤
He drove North to Canada, 24,567 miles, which took him around the Earth and he ended up at the pretty cowgirl's house. You could see in his eyes, he was going to see her.
I think.... he followed her back up to her farm to talk to her. And THAT's the happy ending in my heart.
"WILSON!
I'M SORRY, WILSON!"😢
Such a heartbreaking scene :(
You made this reaction fun, and I can't imagine a movie with so little action and dialog would be easy to make fun. The only other thing I can say is that as a first time watching you guessed the plot beats very well. Maybe you are missing you calling as a screenwriter.
I do write scripts for my short films and often think of stories. I was worried about the editing since there is so little dialog and action but it went very well
Why is it that when I check the location of all of my favorite reactors, they’re always from Canada? Without fail.
That's pretty amazing, and what are the odds, really?!
You kept saying you wanted him to open that package, that it might have something he needed. In a way you were right, he needed that package, he just didn't need it until after he got back.
By the way, I love how much you smile with your eyes when you laugh. You have such kind and empathetic eyes. Anyways, I'm done being awkward about your eyes lol. They're just so expressive.
He was going back to talk to the woman at the end. What a story they’d have to tell at parties. 😂😂😂
Clicked on this so fast :D Wiiilsoooooonnn!!!
The very last scene is Tom Hanks character looking back towards Bettina's home. Giving the audience the impression that Chuck might end up with Bettina someday. So we do kind of get that happy ending we all wanted.
And the direction he looked at the end was back at the ladies house, giving us hope he might find someone
A small color light bar or something to illuminate the sign would make it pop in the background
Nice seeing FedEx and Memphis, my hometown, represented in this film.
I want Jodi Foster and Helen Hunt to announce an Academy Award together but before they do they introduce themselves as the other
Memories of the audience screaming about that light...
Tom Hanks is my favorite Actor, Forest Gump is a great one, I enjoyed "The Terminal", "Big", "Apollo 13", "Sully", "A league of their own", "Sleepless in Seattle", just for a few. I agree, Wilson was robbed, anybody that can get you teary eyed deserves it.
Forrest Gump is most likely my next Tom Hanks movie reaction!! Either that or Apollo 13, but I didn't know he was in that one lol
@@VerowakReacts he seems to act or produce a lot of good movies
Just so you know, there is a deleted scene showing that the box that had the wings on it contained an all-weather emergency satellite radio/ phone.
Absolutely perfect lol
@@VerowakReacts if you haven't watched Forrest Gump yet, I suggest that be your next Tom Hanks project...an EXCELLENT film. Same director and this.
@@jamesroseii Forrest Gump will 100% be my next Tom Hanks movie!!
I absolutely love this movie. It’s tragic and funny and beautiful. When life is reduced to pure survival, you really have to choose to live. To endure.
I have the dvd of it and I sometimes would just play the main menu because it was the sound of ocean waves on the beach. So peaceful.
It reminds of a philosophy I’d read about from island natives. Paraphrasing a bit: Life is like living on an island. Sometimes it’s paradise with a stillness and calm that feels like a kind of heaven. And sometimes it storms and becomes chaotic and dangerous. Remember to enjoy the calm but be mindful of the coming storm. And while enduring the storm know that it won’t last forever. The calm will return. This is the cycle of life.✌🏻
Funny thing is that there was a Super Bowl commercial some years back, don’t remember what it was about but it was a parody of a guy going through the same thing. He showed up at the house of the person that package belonged to. He did ask the lady what inside it and was a survival kit with matches and phone and everything he needed to get off the island way sooner 😂😂😂😂
Great reaction! I think most people assume that he ends up following Bettina home, to start his new life (at least that’s what I’d like to think). 👍😎
I bet you would love Twister! Another great 90s movie
87 hours from Memphis to Moscow.... 24 years ago? That's actually not bad.
It takes Amazon longer to delivery stuff to me from just halfway across the U.S.
God, if I saw a girl who reacted THIS way, I would immediately catch her and drag her into a nest with a projector and a bunch of movies ;) One of my favorite movies - it feels like I’m watching it next to you, I rarely see such empathy.
You are awesome and very cute! ;)
Yes the sign is amazing 👍
It's so funny how you call out all the next moves.
My last of us friend. I love Tom. Been watching him since early to mid 80’s until now and grew up on his films. Tom and James Stewart are in my top 5 of all time but I only seem to get jimmy Stewart reactions at Christmas with its a wonderful life or shop around the corner! Great reaction ma’am
I'll be watching a lot more Tom Hanks movies this year!!
You know what would make a really nice Jimmy Stewart movie to react to? "Mr Hobbs Takes a Vacation" I'd be surprised to see anyone do it, though.
Really enjoyed your reaction! Thank you!
another great Tom Hanks movie to watch is Cloud Atlas the entire cast play different roles in different time periods throughout the movie, its over 3 hours long but well worth it.
I love his quote at the end - he acknowledges he has limited power over his life - "The sun will come up tomorrow".
