I DID cry for that ball (Wilson)😢

i think we all did, i went out and bot a wilson soon after. Still have it

jepp...this movie was a reminder what a great actor Tom Hanks actually is...this guy is so nice and scandal-free he may deserve much more attention.

Try Soldier. The main Character never utters a single word. All emoting.

The absence of music on the island was something I didn't notice but it had it's intended effect. There aren't many movies I'll watch over & over & over again but Cast Away is one of them.

I couldn't agree more. Actually, watching the film years ago I had no idea CGI was being used. And isn't that the way it should be!

95% him. Surely every movie actors dream. Even when you are Tom.

Have you seen woody in toy story?

I'm curious to know what a dentist would make of that scene...

Some of us without dental carry an ice skate with us.

@@pass179 LOL

Makes me wonder why Robert Zemeckis doesn't make movies like this anymo...... ......Oh yeah, Polar Express. Never mind.

Jupp. Saw the movie aeons ago and that scene is stuck in my spine. That scene together with the "pavement scene" in American History X are two scenes that will never leave me be.

You wept?

I thought Wilson stole the whole movie. Wilson should have been nominated for an Oscar. 😊😅😂

@@billbally4419 I laughed.

@calebpartenheimer7636 The scene in Kelly's driveway at night while it was pouring rain...How Kelly told Chuck that she knew (had a feeling) that he was still alive but everyone was telling her that he had died & that she should 'move on', & the way she said "You're the love of my life" had me literally sobbing. That scene crushed me. 😭😭

And the scene where Wilson is last at sea. ‘I’m sorry, Wilson!’ 😭

Haha, if only he knew...

Best reply ever

Amazing how these remote locations aren't really so remote! Part of the production work no one thinks about. One shot looks like in the middle of nowhere, but turn 180 degrees and you're actually on a beach with the hotel right there!

thats not true.

Well now is a great time to let him know. Shesh.

Huh?

Indeed.. hollow woke virtue signaling is now the norm

@@stevencramsie9172 Not too long ago, we'd differentiate between a "movie" and a "film". A movie is just some dumb Marvel remake or something forgettable like that. It's just hollow entertainment. A film is a piece of cinematic art.

Agree that standards and quality has dropped significantly, but there are still occasional gems. Saw “The holdovers” today - excellent film.

I knew this. But I was completely all about this film with insider company knowledge. They said it was extremely expensive to do this. As is when any production has to take this long of a hiatus and then come back to complete it and restart everything.

‘What Lies Beneath’ is a really good film too.

The beauty in Wilson, as well, is that if Wilson had survived and made it back home with him, it would take a long time for Chuck to not associate it anymore with comfort and well-being. I believe a lot of therapy would be needed in order to "let Wilson go". However, there is nothing wrong with a comfort object. It would be no different than a kid and their favorite stuffy.

I found it very intriguing when I learned that "Rescue Dawn", another amazing film, was shot in reverse, meaning they started filming the movie's ending then worked their way back to its beginning. The reason they did this, I believe, is because it was easier on Christian Bale, both psychologically and physiologically to come onto the set being very skinny, then gain weight towards the end, than it was to come in plump and have to lose all that weight during the production. It made good sense to me they would do it that way, and in retrospect, only amplifies my admiration for the actor and the crew, who obviously knew their art well enough to pull it off.

@@KevboKev You give me a great idea for the sequel, "Cast Away 2- Wilson's Revenge", where Chuck is at a vacation resort, sunning on a beach blanket with his new fiancé when all of the sudden Wilson comes washed ashore and lands right between the two of them. And he's quick to remind Chuck of the many ways Chuck took his anger out on him during their stay together on that remote island. 🤬😈🏐

Agreed, it was an excellent movie. I find it fascinating that people either loved it or hated it. At least around my circles.

same here - a classic

Loved it

markozupanc6865 . Yeah. I agree. who cares about the little mistakes here and there. It's all for entertainment, and this was certainly entertaining. It was the same when Forrest Gump came out, people were decrying the improbability of that chain of events happening. What the hell ? it's a movie for God's sake, just sit back and enjoy it.

Who cares about hanks? Do you support people who rape children? 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

There was no Amazon then

@@michaeltaylor8835 straight off of Google: "In 1998, Amazon extended beyond books and started selling music CDs, and by the following year it had added more product categories, such as toys, electronics and tools. By December 1999, Amazon had shipped 20 million items to 150 countries around the globe."

LMAO!!!!

@@unkulwilly The FedEx plane crashed in the year 1995, it was only until 4 years later that he escaped and was rescued so it would probably still be the same if it were Amazon instead.

"Open Water" (2003) Loosely based on the disappearance of Tom and Eileen Lonergan who went on a group SCUBA dive, got separated from the group and left behind. They were never found. The movie fictionalized everything except the couple getting left behind and never being found, even changed the location from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean. In that vein but not made into a movie was a woman who went diving with a group at the Galapagos Islands several years earlier. In 2003 some TV show found and interviewed her. She'd been underwater and when she surfaced the boat was gone. She had a video camera in a housing, attached to a tether tied to one of her ankles. So there's the camera, dangling at least ten feet under the surface yet her screams for help were so loud it easily recorded them. She quickly decided that wasn't getting her anywhere so she pulled up her camera and swam for shore. But between her and safety was a formation of jumbled rocks called the "washing machine". *Nobody* swims through the washing machine and survives. But somehow she made it and was sitting on the island when the dive crew realized she was missing and came back. They had to go around to a safer part of the shore where the boat could get close enough to retrieve her. She hadn't gone diving since but in 2003 decided it was time to get back in the water. She went back to Galapagos, with a new wetsuit but with her old, beat up fins and camera from her previous trip. Other people on the boat were giving her looks that pretty well revealed they were thinking "What's up with the new suit, old fins, and that beat up camera?". But despite part of the video recorded of the incident being released, and the association with the release of "Open Water", a couple of later deaths of female SCUBA divers at Galapagos have apparently obliterated this woman's misadventure from Google's searching abilities. It steers everything I've tried towards articles on those other two.

That is a good point. Tom had to really deliver with nobody else to assist. SPOILER ALERT..... His acting is especially good when he comes back to find his life prior to the plane crash has changed completely.

Really thought they could have made a bit more of that with a potential relationship start between them.

@@NutmegThumper I did an assignment on symbolic codes on this movie back in highschool when it first came to VHS. The symbolism of him turning to look at all those directions in turn, before stopping at the one she went down, is symbolic of choice. He had lived a life of all choices being stripped from him for 4 years. The choice of how to live, the choice of how to die, the choice of where to go or what to eat, or dress, or even the choice of basic human connection. All gone. No choice in anything until he was GIVEN a sail by the ocean that had taken the choice from him in the first place. He stood at that crossroad and was able to properly be free to make a full and self appointed choice. We don't need to know what choice he eventually made, all that was important was that he was ABLE to make one. It was hard hitting when we revealed that part in our group assignment to the class.

because it really was filmed ... about 20 miles NE of Amarillo...a heavily visited intersection in the middle of jack squat no where Texas...

@@Musemistress I sincerely thank you for that analysis. I always wondered about that last scene.

You mean the road signs were correct? FASCINATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s true. You shouldn’t notice. If a soundtrack is done well, it blends and doesn’t take you outta the movie. Unlike Tenet for example.

and again, and again..

When you watch it knowing that fact, it's even more satisfying when the music finally comes in. Beautiful soundtrack used very elegantly.

Elvis Presley??? BCRadio

I’ll tend to believe artistic and technical explanations, but if someone added background music and I watched it again, I wonder if I would have found it in any way distracting? I doubt it.

The first music starts when he finally passes the reef and the island disappears in the distance

I commented this on another thread, but I'll share it here as well: When you watch it knowing that fact, it's even more satisfying when the music finally comes in. Beautiful soundtrack used very elegantly.

SO GLAD there was no music on the island. From the plane crash on, the first time we hear music is when Tom/Chuck finally paddles past the waves on his raft. And even then I thought music was unnecessary.

Wilson i'm sorry 😭😭😭💓💔

Who cares about hanks? Do you support people who rape children? 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

he barely uses special fx tho..

Actually he does. He's known to integrate special effects with real life figures such Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Forrest Gump and my fav, Contact.

Agreed. And Contact is an incredible film!

In the movie Up in the Air, with George Clooney playing a businessman who does A LOT of flying, his preferred airline was American, and there were a lot of references to that airline. Before United Airlines could show this movie on their flights, they had to edit out all references to American. Needless to say, it was a much shorter movie.

IRL, didn't Hanks marry someone named Wilson?

classic line that has also struck with me especially during a 5 month lock down in communist Vietnam last year with all the horrrors of a one party police state going insane

@@dollarjilt1 omg that must have been tough!

LOL ... she really hams it up at the end too " cowboy "

That's hilarious 😂

Not only that, he was on the island for four years, when he found her she had a three-year-old daughter. You are pregnant for nine months. Do the math, three months after he was gone she was banging some other dude.

I loved the part where he threw Wilson away and then the look on his face when he realized what he had done.

Thank you so much!

I really enjoy the ‘behind the scenes’ section of a film!! That’s one reason I wanted DVDs - - soon after they came out, rather than the VCH tapes.

@@c3N3q - No, but I support Tom Hanks.

@@greenbeagle13 I know. If Tom Hangs was a child rapist that would be as crazy as if a number of employees of Disney have been arrested on child porn charges, mainly in the last 5 - 6 years. And also few lawyers, teachers, professors, priests, doctors, politicians, judges, policemen.... Child porn is thriving, at least that is easy to verify. John of God, best bud of Oprah, Jimmy Savile, best but of the British royal family, Jeffrey Epstein, best bud of the American celebs,, Search for Ricky Gervais' speech @Oscars , and look at their reactions... Tom is there.. 🤞

@@c3N3q - I will . I love Ricky Gervais, but I simply don't believe Tom Hanks is a "child rapist". Not arguing with you, just disagreeing. And I will always watch his movies. By the way, not that it matters, but I was sexually assaulted by my drunken step-father when I was 7 (not just one time either). ✌🏾

@@greenbeagle13 I'm sorry to hear about and I don't envy you your experience with your step father. And I don't blame you for not believing. Still,, Oprah didn't know?, the queen and her sons and the British secret service didn't know?, all the actors, politicians and other celebs didn't know? Epstein committed suicide in the prison cell ? You can find many interviews with (young) actors who claim they were abused by many in the show business, as in standard practice if you want in the game... Look at hanx during Ricky's speech...

It didn't nose dive it landed the same way Sully landed in the Hudson...part of the roof had blown off..hence that's how Chuck escaped from the sinking plane...

The engine that kept running without fuel was dumb too.

In reality, only would have been survivable if Sully was in the captain’s seat.

Thank you so much!

Technically, you’re both right. ADR has had multiple variations in official use including Automated Dialogue Replacement, Additional Dialogue Recording and variations of both. It’s also known as Dubbing or After-Dubbing.

@@robertholtz I've worked in the film industry for 15 years never heard it been called anything else!

@@robertholtz sometimes I've heard additional dialogue read.

According to Randy Thom (Cast Away's sound designer) it stands for Automated Dialogue Replacement, but @Robert J. Holtz is correct, there are other variations.

@@FameFocus I, too, have heard "Automated Dialogue Replacement", but wonder what on earth is "automated" about it? It also seems that "Additional Dialogue Recording" might also be problematic because it begs the question what is "additional" about the dialogue when it's just replacing the ambient dialogue they already have in the can? Any ideas Fame Focus, or anyone? I am genuinely very interested in this topic.

Yes, you are absolutely right. Apologies, this is an error. It is in fact meant to say DFN.
