CAST AWAY Clip - "First Day" (2000) Tom Hanks

[@Me97202]

One of the things I love about this movie is how quiet it is.

[@thedizzyunicorn]

They actually had to redub the entire island scenes because of how loud the surf was.

[@DonaldMeyers-v8c]

Agreed. One of the first things I noticed. Just sounds of the island basically. Not some horrible score or anything like that

It was good for what it was, Tom Hanks was amazing as he always is (my favourite is The Terminal). I gotta say though... stranded on an island for 4 years and the guy didn't have shelter, a garden, weapons, tools, clothing.... 4 years?! wtf... i'd have shelter and a fire going the first night... after 4 years i'd have a house with running water and a fully functioning bathroom... while this goon was scraping lines into a cave wall to mark the days lol. Don't get me wrong, I still like the movie.. but it always irritated me that after all that time, he had done close to nothing... forget a raft he couldve built a ship in that time 😂😂

If you think this is a fantastic story, please allow me to relate to you a real one. In 1704, a Scottish sailor named Alexander Selkirk, sailing on an English privateer, had a disagreement with his captain and told the captain that he didn't think the ship was seaworthy and asked to be put ashore on an island where they'd stopped off the coast of South America. The captain put him in a boat with two sailors who rowed him ashore with just a few supplies. He lived alone on the island for over four years before an English ship happened to stop at the island for wood and fresh water and found him. On the island were lots of goats and other animals, and a lot of plants, perhaps from ship wreaks in past years, so he had food to eat, although he had to chase it down. As a result of all the exercise he got from chasing the animals for food and climbing around the island, he was in remarkedly good shape when he was found. It's an interesting story and there's a book about his adventures. After he'd been back in England for a short period, he longed to be back on his island again but never made it back.

And when Hanks brings it back. The first time we see the sign it indicates she is married. When hanks brings the package at the end her husbands name is taken from off it. Intended to inform the audience she too is now single. So we were supposed to infer the two were brought together because of this tragedy. And obviously, the wings were symbolic in that she was his guardian angel even as much so as his girlfriend (Helen Hunt).

That moment when you realize that all those times people asked you "If you were trapped on a desert island, what would you...." questions, just became reality, and you are wishing you paid more attention to what the professor built on Gilligan's Island.

As diabetic I'd be dead in a few weaks anyway....

@@halberderdier8073 My mistake it was penicillin that was produced from bread or citrus mold. (I deleted the previous comment) I have no idea how to make insulin treatment. But apparently it would be a complicated process to extract from animal pancreas. It seems you are correct about being doomed, unless there is a means to get it by eating the pancreas of an available animal, but I have large doubts that it would work that way. Especially given that insulin treatment usually requires injection and not digestion.

And now, Wilson, I give the watch to you.

[@schallrd1]

Wilson got top billing for this movie in England.

People don't realize how big the Pacific Ocean is. That island he's on would be impossible to find.

i remember the first i was stranded.. it was nothing like this

Today, with a waterproof smartphone with GPS, the movie would be over in a minute

[@tinman3586]

They actually had sat phones back then too. I'm assuming that's what you mean since a regular smartphone would be basically useless in this situation.

[@kuruptzZz]

Not if you lose it during your escape on the raft. That's where he lost the EPIRB locator beacon (the red thing that was caught on the wreckage), which would've allowed them to find and rescue him the same way back then

[@happilyham6769]

I find it hard to believe that they wouldn't have found him. A massive jet goes down, he drifts for a few hours and lands on an island. He didn't drift long. Packages and even other bodies wash up on the island. The jet went down close to the island. In real life he would have been found within days.

[@RachyRooM]

And the fact he drifted 500 miles before getting picked up. 500!

[@happilyham6769]

@@RachyRooM He got sucked into a wormhole lol

[@joesayers1867]

The pilots diverted the plane over 200 miles off their flight path, they say it in the film. That's why the search parties never looked in that direction.

[@aliali-ce3yf]

they were way off course - the copilot mentions that before Chuck goes into the bathroom

[@shaunjones3036]

There are hundreds of small islands that are uninhabited and barely even on maps. That part of the world might as well be the moon for how desolate it can be

[@mikerusby]

turns out that package he held on to had a satellite phone in it :)

[@bjorn2625]

Incredible to think that today, with a personal locator beacon he would have been found within 24 hours.

[@aliali-ce3yf]

Today, most of the scenarios in Seinfeld would be solved in less than 1 minute

[@TheDieselndust]

There should be one on that raft he floated in on.

[@leevanqueef2658]

If that was me, and I'd survived all that shit, the island would be full of cannibals and I'd be roasting on an open fire 😂
