      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.

    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.

    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.

    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 '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.

    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.✌🏻

    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.

    Loved this reaction to this wonderful movie. The ending was a brave one for Hollywood. The way he looks at the camera at the end, sort of breaks the 4th wall and he's asking the audience, "Where do I go?" It was very special. One thing about the copier scene - They "auditioned" copiers till they got one with the right rhythm to dance to. incidentally FedEx fully cooperated for the movie, providing access to their hub at Memphis and other facilities without compensation. The pilots in the crash scene, with the exception of Sean Bean, were actual Fed Ex pilots Another bit of trivia is the commercial FedEx put out as a parody for the movie. The commercial has a bearded man deliver the package and the lady he delivers it to opens it up and as they say hilarity ensues. I leave it to you to locate the commercial. Just look up Cast Away FedEx Super Bowl Commercial. This movie was always precious to me and it will always be special.

    a bit off topic but not really, i wish i could have been a fly on the wall, wherever they was in negotiations with "wilson" the makers of the volleyball, product placement, etc, i think the whole "wilson" thing took on a life of its own after the movie came out, and turned into a cultural phenomenon, im sure the wilson company are cheering, all the way to the bank, what began as a simple product placement in a movie became a world wide, household name, NEVER to be forgotten. i do wonder how much of a difference it really made, in sales, etc, i can only imagine it was/is HUGE, one of the best deals they ever signed. brilliant.

  • @Bleckman666

    Probably already mentioned, but there are some great CGI effects in this movie. When Chuck is up on the mountain looking down at the surrounding ocean, Tom Hanks is actually only a couple of feet up looking down on the parking lot outside ILM. (That being said, the digital color grading is a bit off in some scenes, but the technique was very new at the time) Another great "effect" is that the movie is virtually without any music until Chuck manages to leave the island, and then the Alan Silvestri score starts...
