#TomHanks - Krátké a kreslené filmy
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.
Writers were great
Tom’s a great man

@@peterkim3370 The commenter was referring to the character. Learn to separate the character from the actor.
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 you’re area (or even make one if enough vets are in you’re 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.
Thank you for your service Brother. I remember feeling that way as well. It could have been worse though.
@@thullraven1 Always a silver lining. Thank you for your service. Grateful to be alive.
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.
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.
Excellent writing all the way
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.
He probably just didn't want his clothes or the chair getting wet.
improve but meant nothing, his hand moved slow
A profound observation.
Wilson was his best friend the whole time. A freaking volleyball of all things.
Well you gotta make friends wherever you could.
Yes, I think Wilson helped to keep his sanity ... gave him focus ...
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.
@@joshuagrover795some of ya’ll get so defensive over nothing lmao
Tom Hanks' wife's maiden name is Wilson.
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.
Never thought about that until now. Thanks for this perspective

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 . 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....
@@theskyworrierBruh. 🤦♀️
@@theskyworrier hes talking about wilson doofus :P
@@theskyworrier That's because nowhere in the movie is his best friend being on the plane crash even implied...
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.
His wife is for the streets.
@@dragonkingsportsWhy is she for the streets
I would imagine that it’s a mix of emotions. Saddened, shocked, angered, and disappointed.
@@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.
@@ericdunn9001Or she moved on fast to try to mask her pain as quickly as possible
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.
oh god ur right😢😢😢
he should've stayed
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
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.
NAH FR, they could’ve done a good old fashioned bbq 😭😭😭
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.
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.
@@richa.s9912 "Things they never told you on Gilligan's Island".
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.
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.
Kelly married Mr. Big?
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🙄@@Finkardop
@@abertasso1298 Oh nah i love this movie it just shows how quick people can move on. I have always thought the dentist was her emotional rebound.
The gut ripping part is that she was having an affair with that guy.
NEVER get on a plane with Tom Hanks. Or, a spaceship.
Or a ship…
Look at me Irish
You might meet some pirates, and not the ones from the Caribbean.
wait a min didn't he return safely in apollo LOLLLL
@@Josh-py9rq One incidence maybe
“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."
Love the Forrest Gump nod, the Dr. Pepper he's offered on the plane and his subtle smile.
It's just product placement
@@GorgieClarissa Dr. Pepper is still a great soda
@@ChrisWolff2013no it’s not, it’s just bbq sprite
@@kingsasquatchso misunderstood
@@ChrisWolff2013 all soda is garbage
It is a testament to Hanks's skilled performance that people believed this move was based on a real life story.
Damn, apologizing he wasn’t there for Mary’s death. Chuck is a stand up guy.
Of course he didn't get a chance to sit 🪑 down .
This is a movie that is never over. The way it makes you think about things.
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.
@@americandissident9062 this has been known for centuries. why do you think they had no right to vote, etc
@@gaynzz6841 It’s been known for centuries, but for some reason these days people don’t like to hear it.
@@gaynzz6841 lmfao
I love how they create tension with ambient noise that sounds somewhat like an empty island with nothing but wind and waves.
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."
The time he sees her again is so heartbreaking. I cant watch without breaking into tears.
This is one of the best movies ever made. Hanks is amazing as usual.
Lesson: sleep with your dentist before your wife has the chance to in order to prevent a situation like this from occurring
lol
Endodontist. I had to look it up.
I'm on it, meowmix!
What ?
😂😂😂
It was a great movie. What a classic
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.
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
Can you imagine if this flight crashed into the ocean too, and he's back to square one again 😫 🏐 🥥
It didnt go over ocean
@@dinglbottomwell not with that attitude
"Directed by M. Night Shyamalan".
the last airplane he was on tried to kill him...
"ah shit, here we go again"
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!!
Do the math. She was cheating the whole time.
@@jB-uw8fi what’s the math?
This classic movie was 24 years ago? man where has the time gone.
23 years ago, this movie came out can't believe it's been that long.
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.
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
Kelly helped him fight to survive, and then when he finally was rescued he ends up even more empty. :(
She didn't help him at all
@@heveyweightheveyweight5399 The memory of her I should say.
Best FedEx commercial ever
Totally agree.
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.
After spending 4 years on that island, it was kind of his home. Now he was a cast away in the society.
This film made me understand that Castaway can have two different meanings.
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."
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.
One of the saddest films ever tbh.
When he goes to see her at the house that was gut-wrenching.
So glad the outro music is louder than the whole clip
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.
Real life is messy and this film does an amazing job showing his strength to move on.
@@mk17173nshe believed he was dead. People have to move on or be stuck in their grief
I still dont believe she wouldn't see him.
I hate when companies call themselves "families".
Me too! I roll my eyes everytime I hear that
The SuperBowl commercial spoof on this movie was hilarious. Of course this was back when commercials were humorous.
I didn't see it, was it woke?
Where's the link?
@@petersmithyy4556 you guys have worn that word out, it’s time to find a new one.
@@petersmithyy4556Most cringy comment I've seen in a while
One of the best movies ever made.
This scene broke my heart
This my favorite Tom Hanks movie.
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”
This is one of the greatest actors to live👍
This is my favorite part of movie
Always loved how the whole company is celebrating for him outside while he's quietly reflecting alone. Shows how shallow people really are, how all they think about is a celebration and not the actual person theyre celebrating
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.
Still such a great 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.
@@curtismaizehow would you know
i always cry on this scene
😐 I have no idea how he found the courage to ride in an airplane again.
Well I mean did you expect him to take a boat? 😂 At least the boat trauma was fresh.
So much for Wilson
I just imagine him collecting Wilson balls and putting different faces on it and displaying it on his home
Give this man an Oscar
Chuck Noland finally made it back home, only to realize that the only welcoming party he got was a seafood feast - talk about adding insult to injury after his time on the island!
Tom's character let it go. Time moves on. And he moves with it.
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 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.
Who ever called this movie boring?
@@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.
@@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
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
I also like the squeal 'Castaway: Search for Wilson'
How the world leaves you behind from a moment not of your choosing.
Feels like coming out of prison where the world & family moved on without you.
Coffee cups spelling out Ex Fed is a nice detail too...
0:17 that old DR PEPPER can brings back childhood memories
Working for FedEx for 5 years just to realize that they used the actual CEO in this scene. Tom Hanks
movies are so incredibly detailed.
be nice to be able to hear this..
He finally was rescued after 4 years like so strange he kept telling them he hadnt died
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.
CZcams 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.
The irony of flying on a plane home from being trapped on an island from a plane crash leaving home.
Audio level could have been better
I know what he was thinking “god damn Jody!”
I would be a little nervous about flying after that crash. Lol
I think Tom Hanks did a really good job with this sequence. I’m probably not the first one to say this, but it’s almost like a military veteran coming home. The world has changed. Loved ones have moved on. Memories have been made. So many things have happened.
You can definitely see that he almost feels like an alien on another planet or rather he is on an alien planet. And in all honesty, I can’t really blame him. I mean he lived for over four years if I remember correctly on that small island. Having gone from an individual who likely has almost no survival skills to being able to teach military personnel thing or two.
Great movie...one thing I would have done differently just prior to this plane scene (and after being rescued) is a short scene where Hanks shows apprehension on getting on the plane...the last plane (4 yrs. earlier) experienced a malfunction and crashed - it could have happened again with this plane…
"Cast Away" is about loss, and beyond some more obvious examples, I see this "loss" theme (possibly) throughout the movie - some examples of which may perhaps be considered good losses:
Bettina Peterson lost her marriage due to her husband's infidelity
Time lost with Kelly before boarding the plane
Loss (removal) of the bandaid in the plane bathroom just prior to the crash (interestingly, removal of that bandaid signified healing of his thumb - but that seemingly small relief/healing was "lost" and replaced by a greater loss due to the plane crash)
Near loss of the pocket watch (with Kelly's picture) during the plane descent/plummet
Loss of the plane crew friends
Loss of emergency locator transmitter (underwater)
Loss of air from the raft (after being punctured by the rock)
Loss of blood (on the coral?) after earlier escape attempt
Lost rescue opportunity (distant ship with light)
Loss of beach lettering ("HELP") due to the tide and resultant loss of rescue opportunity
Loss of flashlight battery power (in cave)
Loss of tooth (although this loss of pain may be considered a good loss)
Loss of weight (over 4 yrs.)
Loss of natural hair color (from sun exposure)
Loss of human contact (while on island)
(Temporary) loss of "Wilson" (after being angry and tossing "him"
Loss of leaving island (after getting accustomed to being marooned)
Loss of port-o-porty(?) metal panel due to the storm (perhaps the Bettina Peterson WINGS emblem was portending the "flying away" of the panel)
Loss of need for oars (post-storm) - subsequently casting them away
(Final) loss of Wilson, accompanied by loss of strength to rescue "him"
Loss of (normal life) time and loss of prior life assumptions/attitudes/spontaneity all due to being marooned
Loss of control over committing suicide (cliff)
Loss of appetite for seafood (at homecoming party)
Loss of initial meeting with Kelly
Loss of life with Kelly due to her marriage
Loss of the football team (to another city) and loss of that team in the Superbowl…
The title of this movie, "Cast Away", is actually not the spelling for the word used for describing a marooned/shipwrecked person - it is instead spelled as "castaway"... although these 2 words can potentially be synonymous, I wonder if Zemeckis was essentially seeking to make a point similar to mine (e.g., "loss")...yes, the movie is about a "castaway" (like in "Gilligan's Island"), but separating the word "castaway" into "cast away" may help point to a richer meaning of the movie…if so, then even the movie title signifies/describes a sense of "loss" (i.e., something being "cast away")
Also, Hank's character's name itself, Chuck Noland, may also contain a theme of loss:
Chuck - to chuck (or cast) away
Noland - perhaps a combination of 2 words "No land" (i.e., no place to settle or a loss of stability location-wise for the character) and/or alluding to the island as uncharted (and so "no land" was known)...
Although not even part of the movie, the woman who played Bettina Peterson, Lari White, died in 2018 at age 52, and so - if art were to have imitated (or followed) life here - Chuck Noland would have prematurely lost her at a relatively earlier age if he had decided to pursue her (a possibility presented at the final crossroads scene)...
After writing all this, I am ready to watch "Cast Away" for the umteenth time(!)...
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.

Great movie
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.
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!
I am an advertising man for many years ... and right at this scene, Chuck is stepping ona FedEx rug. From start to finish, FedEx is there making this film a FedEx production, no doubt, though to most movie goers, it doesn't matter but they =notice= what FedEx is. Great commercial value of an advertising coup !!! Great job, FedEx
Realistically movies have only two options either invent a brand 'FastEX'(???) or use real life ones. Yes this entire movie is a sorta commercial for FedEx but it works. Not for me because in my mind I now associate it with plane crashes.
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'm wearing pro headphones and this is way to low. Except when the tone at the end hits you.
Haha Same. Frightened the shite out of me!
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.
I hope he gets his job back, its the leadt they can do
Robert zemeckis did so great in making castaway
Must have been the homecoming of the century.
I never understood why he looked so serious. I'd have been bouncing off the walls!
To him it’s like being in a coma. He missed so much and the world is completely different.
“Break out the Zimas, babe! I’m home! Where’s Gary?! I gotta tell him this joke I thought of on the island!”
He is still in survival mode just like he was on the island
@@marufio You tell yourself whatever you need to so you dont have to think about Trump.
