This movie was heartbreaking on so many scenes. Wilson's loss still makes me cry.
For me the worst part is at the very end of him just not knowing what to do with his life, just having no sense of will or you know
Its a ball snapperhead
I hate this voice.
Can't you just use the same voice as Danial CC?
@@king6530 well why would you wanna blatantly copy someone lol
its a fucking volleyball
My favorite part is when he back home years later, and all his friends leaves and says "you probably need some time alone". Like he just had a ton of time alone. Idiots
he probably meant that he needs some time alone to catch up with current events.
Mate he went so insane he talked to a volleyball
He wasn't alone, he was with himself
He needs time to rest
🤣🤣🤣

Fun fact, the package that he didn't opened contained: a satellite phone, GPS locator, fishing rod, water purifier, and some seeds. Look it up if you don't believe me
Okay, so i fact checked it and alas it was just a funny commercial made by fedex to promote the movie.
According to the script the package contained salsa.
Men u ain't doing good. 😐
If there was a lighter too it would be worth opening
Lol epic
XD
I just want to live that part where you get to open all those FedEx packages
Laughed and called you an idiot as I think the same
@Kauds what the hell is ur definition of racist my guy?
@MilkShakeFryDip imagine taking bait
@MilkShakeFryDip What you may not find funny, others can find humor in it. You can tell that the comment was a joke. No need to take it literally. I’m also curious about why you think it is quirky and edgy to use a bait line.

Dude RIP Wilson, he was the best character in the whole movie
He's still out there my friend and we won't stop until we find him
Indeed
Dont worry.. Wilson reappeared in Top Gun film twice.. he still well alive.. 🤣

You Know ? Reality that ball now its in Movie Museum. ! +1
This is EASILY one of the best movies ever made.
The fact that he doesn't get back together with his wife really hits home and makes it more realistic, instead of being just another "lovers reunion" flick.
She wasn't his wife.
Yeah
Still they both kissed
Even if she was married to other guy
That part was literally dumb amd fcuked up
Just because he kissed the protagonist we are okay with that part.
@@harrisonwells2908 She probably still love him and that kiss was the last.
@@ajiroclovertail992then she shouldnt have married other guy
As a former fedex employee i can safely say what caused the crash was either a miss labeled hazmat or a box without an unsafe to fly sticker, sadly in my experience ive seen people carelessly miss placing even label hazmats, ect.
Lol corporate agencies cry over lost money not people I'm glad they lost millions/sued millions
Yep, like those mislabeled oxygen containers that started a mid flight fire.
Facts, Fed ex and ups need to step their hazmat labels up. Ive seen so many of these packages mistreated, and its like the supervisors dont care.
Oh you did an investigation on the movie set? Nice.
@Cold Hearted Basterd normally bad weather is something pilots should be able to deal with but if there's dangerous cargo on top of that, that would likely be too much as seen here there's only so much you can do
87 hours for a international delivery? That's seems like it would be really good time, domestic packages usually take 4-5 days with free shipping.
They were supposed to be Express, these can get to you even in a day
It was Air/ Express faster delivery. FedEx Ground is the one that’s slower but cheaper.
FedEx Express drivers actually work for FedEx, Ground drivers are independent contractor not FedEx employees.

I guess Fedex was better in the 90s, now it takes them 87 hours if not more for a package to go from Memphis to Nashville, and that is if they don't dump your package in the woods somewhere
Yeah
Wilson signifies that friendship is the most important thing in life.
And how they will leave you at your worst.

I would have loved it if the final package he never opened turned out to be a sat phone.
I don't know if it's confirmed but I heard there was a deleted scene where that exact same thing happened but was removed due to it being so stupid. Would have been super funny though 🤣
@@seraphim3528 Not so much a rumor but instead it might have been a meme spoofing this very idea.
@@seraphim3528 it’s on CZcams. It’s a parody that has a lot of survival shit
When asked the director jokingly said there was a GPS SAT phone in there. But went on to say it was BBQ sauce.
What was in the box has already been confirmed years ago. The movie doesn't say. But in the written script. It was salsa. Like literally in the script written for the movie whoever wrote it. Wrote that it was salsa.
Chuck and Wilson is the crossover we need, but not the crossover we deserve 😢
Sweet
Its...not even a crossover....
This underrated movie is one if the best stories about the psychological impact of isolation and crippling loneliness.The case in point being this man's best friend was a soccer ball named Wilson.The company's brand.When he lost it at sea he cried as if it were a living thing.Powerful stuff.
I agree with everything except this movie being underrated and Wilson being a soccer ball.
Yeah
DARREL THE DESTROYER!!!
@@pablo89212009 is Castaway highly rated or overrated?
Wilson is a Volleyball. Named after the Company.
Apparently Wilson survived. After drifting for a week ended up in Thailand. Got a wife and kid and is living under an assumed name
I didn't even watch the video, just wanted to drop in and share the fact that as a kid someone explained this movie to me and I didn't really understand, and lived under the assumption that he survived by eating the actual FedEx packages (cardboard, package contents, etc) until like the age of 15
Lol
I did
Holy shit I didn’t even realize the beginning scene ties in with the ending scene. Amazing to find out
I don't get it

Yeah
I like the martian but is 5/100 of this movie
Chuck went back to visit with Bettina after she left him at the crossroads. With that last look she gave him, who wouldn't! She was in the barn getting ready to do some work. She invited him to join her in having a cool iced tea. Chuck explained to her all that had happened and how that package sustained his faith that he would return home from the island.
This was better than any therapy he could ever have. She was kind and listened with her heart.
It wasn't his intent to find love, but rather to find himself and a path forward.
Delivering that package, was the key to that journey.
Eventually they would fall in love and live happily ever after, but it took a lot of time for her to learn to trust again and for him to open his heart to her after losing Kelly. Bettina added Chuck's name to the arched entry to her land.
They named their first child Wilson!
chuck is the actor from that movie where he got stuck in an airport
Also in Forest Gump.

That last scene at the dirt road intersection was pretty powerful, representing the crossroads in life we face. Great movie.
Awesome
I remember watching this movie in the theaters with my wife. After he knocks the infected tooth out of his mouth and passes out....the water scene slowly fades in along with "4 years later", I remember audibly gasping outloud along with the majority of the audience in the theater including my wife. It's still one of my favorite movies and it blows my mind that the majority of the movie it was just Tom Hanks and fricken volleyball! Lol
Me too
For the entirety of the movie I kept hoping that they would show what is going on back at home with the friends looking for him, and waiting for music to play. It’s such a great and realistic movie.
"Wilson!! Ohh noo... (Crying) I'm sorry Wilson!!....."
Ohh man... I watched it back in 2000 (19 years old) only feels sorry for him with a bit sad.
Now 20 years later... I'm easily in tears. Damn this is really hurting me.
Bruh losing Wilson hit all of us way too hard back then, and still today.
Never thought I'd get so damn attached to a volleyball
@@keyman3131 If only I should put more of that feeling lost to Wilson back in the day. Thanks to David Trezeguet golden goal winner to France 2-1 over Italy. Dammit, I hate that golden goal lol!!

@@kiperr30 Is this a spelling bee?
I don't really cry when watching or reading something but I remember that this movie made me tear up when I was a kid, it wasn't even the scene where Wilson drifted away that got me but the part where he left the island while crying, I don't remember why I teared up at that scene lol
wanna meet up and cry together?

Rest In Peace to Lari White. She was the actress who Tom Hanks delivered the package to and met at the crossroads at end of the movie. She was also a very talented country music singer who I saw at a show before her death from cancer a few years ago. Such a tremendous loss for everyone.
Yeah
Man, that's terrible. Sad now.
Me: don’t do it myself, stop, be serious
My brain: WILLLLSSOOOOOONNNNNNNN
The 🏝 is called Modriki Island, a part of the Fiji Islands in the South Pacific.
Mmhmm
Though its a fictional movie, im sure everyone would take an inanimate object and name it and make it their friend
More babies were named Wilson in the year this movie was released then ever before in human history!
M here 😂
This movie is one of the best movies ever done in the history of movies.
The pilot trying to help Chuck is something else
I thought after a long time, he’d open the package and find something that can help with commutation and save him, but my guess was wrong. SO THEN WHATS IN THE BOX
Deez nuts😂 GOTTT EMMMM
Salsa, well as the writer said
Salsa.
I thought he was the one that picked up the box at the beginning, that’s why he didn’t want to open it, because he recognized it and knew the person so he wanted to deliver it.
I just discovered your channel. Telling these movies in a short story form is actually pretty cool. I'm looking forward to more
Cool
I watched this as a kid. I remember every single detail.
Especially the plane crash, was terrified to fly for years
"Chuck needed closure. So he took a taxi to Kelly's house."
Chuck: "So about that present I gave you before I left. Uhm... Can I get it back?"
HAHAHAHAHAHA
note how the title of the movie is "cast away" and not "castaway". this might just go over many people's head but the title has a double meaning. not only is he a castaway while on the deserted island, but when he returns, he is "cast away" by those he once loved
Love that you pointed this out
wow, never realized that. and I've seriously had deep philosophical thoughts of this movie.
Dude, that's some righteous insight on your part! Thanks
This was my father's favorite movie. I watched it many times when I was a child. I'm 28 now.
Tom Hanks is so legendary by the way your channel is legendary
Such a great Movie....Wilson loss still breaks my heart. Classic
First time subscriber . I love the movie recap . Don’t need to watch the whole movie for long hours but with your synopsis you are able to give light to the story itself . Excellent job .
Atleast he's not alone
He's With The Cameraman
Why 😭😂
I love people who recap 2 hr vids just to save us enough time
The Island is a metaphor for one's lowest point where no one can really help us but ourselves. For me it was alcoholism. Depression made me turn to alcohol and it quickly turned into an addiction. At one point I actually thought I was gonna die drinking myself to death. But you just gotta have that motivation to live and survive even if its just for 5 minutes. I remember I kept saying to myself "Ok 5 more minutes, I can do this. I wont kill or hurt myself for just 5 more minutes". I took baby steps to help myself, and fight my addiction until I was able to stand up again and keep living life. It was very difficult for me to leave my "Island" but I know I just had to do it, because like the message of the movie says, there is always better opportunities in the horizon
❤
Thanks for the recap, it was well done
Didn't at the end when she opens the package their was a satellite phone, GPS locator, fishing rod, water purifier, and some seeds
Here it is, the movie that made me emotional over a voleyball
The package had everything he needed to survive
It had salsa…
The love of his life moving on and married with kids is more devastating then Wilson floating away
Faxxxx that's why he kept moving but later to found out married with another, but it's understandable for both
How could you leave out his monologue with Stan after he'd parted ways with Kelly? He lays it all out, his attempt at suicide, his powerlessness on the island. His gratitude over the smallest of things he can no longer take for granted. "I have ice in my glass." And his comittment to keep going, because as the tide brought him a sail, he hopes the tide of life will bring him something or someone new.
Also his guilt of how he couldn't give Stan the details of a doctor for his wife because he'd been stranded on the island. And that Stan's wife had passed away and he wasn't there for Stan when he needed him most.
The last package he kept with Angel Wings made of stainless steel polished to mirror finish . Would've been useful for signaling and as a useful tool
Legend has it that Wilson is still afloat out there to this day.
Cast Away was such a great movie. I much have watched it 100 times
I dnt think iv ever cried in life as much as i saw this volleyball float away, still brings tears.
I loved that movie
Excellent synopsis of one of my favorite movies of all time!
This is still one of my favorite movies ever. Robert Zemeckis and Tom Hanks really made a masterpiece that i love even more than Forest Gump
And that score by Alan Silvestri...... incredible

Yes I have watched this classic movie a few times over the years but it is weirdly nice to hear it narrated years later
I’m glad that everyone appreciates this movie ❤
Him using the skating boot was one of the hardest things to watch lol
The woman at the end is also a blacksmith/artist. The package he saved for past could have well been the most useful package to open
Greatest movie character of all time.
Rest in peace, Wilson.
rip Wilson, forever in our hearts
I know it's easy to assume there was a ring inside the little box at the beginning but I still wanna know if she opened it without him or not
I never got this sad over a ball.
For people who didn't watch the movie. Wilson floating away was emotional for the viewers too lol. You don't realize how important Wilson was for Chuck (Tom) during the movie.
9:47 lobster? That’s a crab leg.
Never travel with Tom Hanks
And get stuck at an airport...
But he always finds a way out 😶
This was really emotional
I love this kind of videos now ty a lot
I remember watching this movie as a kid and it was my favorite movie for a while. Thanks for the recap. You remade it my favorite movie again 🎥 🍿
most heartbreaking part was when he gets home and finds the love of his life with a new guy.
it's been years since i first watched this movie and when Wilson floats away still brings tears to my eyes😭😭😭
This movie is such a classic
Hello great movie review really like your videos
this is such an amazing movie, 10/10
I noticed that tom hanks character removes his shoes in the flight and when the plane crashed he didn't had his shoes...he also removed his casio watch in the flight when the plane crashed....2 most important things he needed on that island.....very subtle and convenient work by the director. This is one of my favourite movie....i just want to be left alone in one if these island for some time atleast. I want a break from all the work/job.
I’ve heard of castaway years back and I completely forgot about it until this video popped up on CZcams and now just watching the movie recap that’s insane
He has Wilson. Lol.
I was really hoping that unopened box contained a satellite phone ready to be used and he regretted not opening it 😐
in the blu ray version it is!!!
Excellent !
aww i saw this back in the day thx for the memory
Imagine getting your packages delivered 4 years later lol
The math does not speak well of Kelly. In four years, she went through mourning a guy she was all but engaged to, started dating again, found someone else who was husband material, got married, and got completely settled into a new life. The only way that works is if she mourned Chuck for a very, very short period of time and possibly already had something going with her future husband at the time of the crash.
The cheating implication at the beginning.
If my wife dies today I can be happily married in 2 years with a child on the way. The living need to keep moving forward.
In the director's cut DVD the commentary mentions that the real life wife was having an affair. Its a shame that there aren't special features like that in modern home releases. It even had the original short story that the movie was based on.
@@craigtheophilus2237 2 years seems like a short time for all that out together. “The living need for keep moving forward” as if there’s not 7-8 BILLION of us. Everyone grieves and mourns different, but I doubt you would for more than a week. Your wife deserves better.
In four years, she could be infertile.
We NEED Movies like this!!!! Make more!!!
I like how more and more channels are doing these movies in minimal minutes..thanks you. I sub
*_Biggest plot twist of the movie was when they disclosed what was in the box if you watch the blu-ray extras._*
A solar-powered water-proof satellite cellphone that could get him home.
That was fictional, the real one had salsa.
One of my favorite movies. Sad and realistic how Kelly moved on with her life
i just, I cried like a banshee. I wailed in sadness at the loss of wilson
I loved this movie! Definetly worth a watch.
What is the name of movie?
i'm semi-supprised about one thing, that the life raft didn't have it emergency supplies and beacon. Most life rafts have an EPERB that broadcasts a distress signal when the raft is deployed.
Very good
Cast Away was amazing. Saw it many times.
The part where Wilson was gone that was the saddest part and am still sad even though it's bine 4 years now
