CAST AWAY Clip - "Back Home" (2000) Tom Hanks

[@mattp.272]

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.

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.

[@bambam3696]

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.

[@haroldkreye8770]

A profound observation.

[@steeldriver1776]

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.

[@cgallegos2106]

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.

[@steeldriver1776]

@@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.

"I hope the pacific is as blue as it is in my dreams. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand." Shawshank's ending was amazing, and the movie's ending is better imo than the book, because in the book, we're left with uncertainty as to whether Red will actually find Andy or not, and Red even mentions that he's not sure whether he can get over the border or not, because he's a felon, and his story ends with "I hope" because he hopes he can find Andy, but he doesn't know. The movie's ending they actually get reunited, and it's just a truly beautiful ending.

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.

[@1337Shockwav3]

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.

[@Defender78]

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?

[@alexandriaocasio-smollett5078]

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.

[@jonnyb.animationstutorials7119]

Exactly this. The movie is called "Cast Away" It's a reference to not only the fact that Chuck is a castaway on a deserted island, but also the fact that in his life, he put his work above everything. He casted away everything else for his job at FedEx, and that's actually what ultimately caused him to get stuck on the island. He could have postponed that specific flight, but he didn't, he chose to leave Kelly on Christmas, and go to Malaysia, but the plane crashed. Chuck pretty much took for granted the things he cared about, thinking they would always be there, and then it was all taken away from him. That's the moral of the story in my opinion. Don't take your loved ones for granted, or your luxuries for granted, because it can all be gone because of something as mundane as flying on a plane.

[@Youre_Right]

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.

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.

[@jonnyb.animationstutorials7119]

@@GorgieClarissa No, there's a pretty plausible theory that she was cheating on him before the plane crash. Chuck was gone for 4 years. Kelly and the Dentist have a kid that looks maybe 1 year old or so. That means about 2 years and a few months after the plane crash, she got pregnant from the dentist. Plus, how did their relationship even start? We know that 1 year before the crash, the dentist was recommended by Chuck's doctor, and he did a root canal on Chuck. People speculate that's how Kelly and the Dentist met, and then they started an affair, there's no concrete evidence, but it would make sense. Personally, although this is pretty plausible, I don't think that's what the creators intended.

Chuck was her long-term boyfriend and the clues heavily imply that she got pregnant three months after he disappeared. I believe she was cheating even before Chuck went away. Probably wanted to break it off with him after new years. This is the reason I believe you shouldn’t put too much faith on someone even if they are your spouse. Human beings are naturally a bit selfish and will always put their needs first. If I was Chuck,I wouldn’t be too sad or surprised considering what Kelly did was nothing out of the ordinary.

There are so many sides to this movie.

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]

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

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(!)...

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.

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.

Having gone from an individual who likely has almost no survival skills to being able to teach military personnel thing or two.

In the scene at her house in the kitchen notice the pictures on the fridge of a baby/todler and a todlers "painting". From the evidence in that scene I put Kellys daughter at 18 months to maybe 2 years as those objects have been on the refridgerator for a while. Figure 9 months of pregnancy and I assume Kelly and "Dude" got married before she was pregnant. That puts Kelly's wedding at basically 3 years ago. So in ONE (1) YEAR since Chuck dissapeared she got over the love of her life, started dating, met the next love of her life, got married, bought a house, got pregnant, and started a family. I call bullshit on Kelly. You're right JonnyB, she and the shitty dentist were f*%king for a while behind Chucks back. Kelly monkey branched Chuck and I hope the families called her on her shit.
