This movie should've ended with him finding out that unopened package had a satellite phone with full batteries, a swiss knife and a gps

[@Zagarspupil]

I've read that the director said that a satellite phone is exactly what he had in mind to be inside that unopened box.

[@Amjadd13]

Yeah it was ruining the movie's realism when he didn't open it

[@oliver9606]

Haha that would of been funny as fuck

[@leebarrett9581]

Yeah and a blow up doll

[@CJ-im2uu]

KMN moment. Except the water may have ruined the phone unless in a water proof bag.

[@koreanpathfinder]

You should have sinned that his welcome home buffet was seafood. Like you said, they obviously didn't consider his mental health.

[@cameronpeterson6734]

Korean Pathfinder That was probably the point of those scenes. It's pretty depressing and makes me feel bad for Chuck at that point lol

[@DerpDevilDD]

Actually, considering all he'd been eating for years was seafood, so suddenly stuffing him full of unfamiliar stuff (especially American fare, high in salt and fat) would have upset his digestive system. Great first night home spent entirely in the bathroom.

[@angrykermit3192]

I'm not a psychiatrist and I've never been stranded on a desert island but I highly doubt that seafood on the buffet would trigger some sort of episode. He's just sick of eating seafood, not traumatized by it.

[@koreanpathfinder]

Oh, I wasn't saying that it would cause him to have a breakdown or something like that. I just meant there should have been at least one guy who was like, "Hey everyone, he's been eating this stuff for years now. Maybe he's bored of it and it would be nice to give him something different."

[@ChildofVitalani]

I would've sinned the fact that there was a buffet in the first place. His face after everyone leaves says it, basically, "oh look, I just spent 4 years on the verge of starvation, having to scrounge up every last mouthful and eating ANYTHING necessary to make it to the next day, and they all just leave this here to be thrown out. There's a month's worth of food here. Easily. Wasteful fothermuckers."

[@RobsWorld]

4:18 Actually you can take salt water and make it potable by boiling it, but you would need to capture the vapors that are boiling off and basically condense it back down by cooling it into another container (A type of distillation). You can also achieve this with two water bottles, or even a small cup in a bucket of salt water with a cellophane covering that has a rock in the middle (not that he has those supplies, but it's doable). Also, I believe they show he is not only getting water off leaves but winds up drinking a lot of coconut water/milk.

[@victorymansions]

Yeah but coconut milk is a natural laxative and cannot be consumed indefinitely

[@Sean.R]

But just pure coconut water makes you shit your self from diarrhoea and you’ll die , ironically, from dehydration cause you’ll shit out all the water in your buddy

[@tambaloslos2493]

@@Sean.R well, if you had too much

[@scottys1423]

Boiling certainly works to make distilled water but actually you just need the salt water container to be at a higher temp than the condensate container, and connect the two (from the top) with a tube/hose/pipe. Like set it in the sun and have the condensate container in the shade. Vapor pressure does the rest. It will be slow so will need several containers operating.

[@scottys1423]

@@RavenMatthew Of course that's what he did. But hopefully it rains often enough.

[@HeadphonesLuV808]

I think one of the details of this movie that I always find amusing was the fact that at the party they had a huge seafood buffet for a man who had survived on a remote island and ate nothing…but fish…for four years straight.

one thing I actually liked about this move compared to other movies is the way it spent extended time on the intro showing u the characters, and the ending finalising the story, most movies spend 1 or 2 minutes on this in the before n after the main act. And leave much to be questioned or assumed, I like the way this movie did it

[@ernestmoney7252]

1. If the wind is blowing toward the island (from the Castaway's perspective), surely, on the other side of the island, the wind is blowing away from it. So, once the raft is built, it is only a matter of rowing halfway round the island in the shallows to catch the seaward wind and head out to open water. No need to wait for the wind to change. 2. Why are there no birds on the island? It would seem to be a natural nesting site, given that there are no predators and abundant seafood. 3.Why doesn't he build a signal fire on the mountain? Wait for a fine day with clear air, build a fire-pit on the mountaintop, start a fire with clean driftwood, throw on some green or rotten wood, huge cloud of smoke and steam, visible for miles. Repeat as necessary.

[@philiprice7875]

yea because some ecomentilist will com and issue him a ticket for illegal fires and pollution

[@simonster-9094]

Good stuff to know for if anyone reading this gets stranded on an island at some point.

[@leonpaelinck]

I suppose making that climb countless times carrying wood isn't worth it.

[@SnickerSkye]

#2 -- birds only fly out to the middle of the ocean to die. Think of how far from land it is to that island, birds are great, but one reason they can mirgrate so far over land is the availability of frequent rest stops. Over the ocean, there's nowhere to rest and so no birds managed to ever make it to the (what could possibly be a fairly young volcanic) island.

That volleyball floating away scene perfectly captures the death of a human and inanimate object relationship which was necessary for him to resume normal human interaction.

[@jacksoneuler5606]

Anonymous Anonymous Not how iv’s work

[@FiddlebirdBlue]

That is excellent motivation! I personally love the dentist because I'm weird, but I often tell reluctant friends and family about the tooth I had to have removed, or all the skulls I've seen with dental abscesses so huge I could fit the top joint of my thumb into them. Yeah, that s**t eats into the bone. Then it gets int your blood or marrow and it's lights out. And there are many methods of sedation which are used by different health care providers in different situations, there's no need to fight. You've had different experiences because you had different needs and different providers.

[@vrykyl6464]

Teeth are actually quite hard to remove. The dentist took 2 hours to remove one of my molars and even when it finally came out, the root had broken off and had to be cut out in the hospital and the wound stitched. 45 minutes of those 2 hours was without sedation because I had already recieved the maximum amount. Needless to say, I cried like a child even though I was 30 years old. Point being: brush your teeth :)

[@FormerGovernmentHuman]

Wise words. Ive had an abscessed tooth and i was to arrogant to go to the dentist before it became a hospital problem. It was the 2nd most painful thing in my life, my face swole to twice its size on one side. I would puncture my gums with a knife because it hurt less than the tooth.

[@sign543]

raydunakin THIS COMMENT. I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that I could not have done what he did with that ice skate. First of all, it wouldn’t work. Second of all, that it wouldn’t work means that I’d be in an ENORMOUSLY amount of more pain. What if the tooth just broke off at the surface? Now you’re in LIFE-ALTERING AGONY...and it’s still abscessed and now the nerves are exposed. I never felt that scene was believable.

[@angeloiodice9304]

One of the most enjoyable, thought-provoking, self-reflective, impactful movies I have ever seen in my life. It was more of a pure experience than merely watching a flick. Don’t care how many flaws you find that violate the credentials of a picture-perfect Hollywood production, the movie set its own visceral, real true-to-life standard, that puts it into a genre all of its own. Hanks was nothing less than awesome in his transformation from a true-blue loyal high level company employee, ever-rising and with the highest standard of integrity and dedication in humankind, to a stripped to the core zen master of sorts, living in the moment and fearless of any challenge, not because of bravery, but willing to engage in whatever life offers, because there really is no other way.

[@majinsole8554]

Having seafood is actually appropriate in that scenario. There is a real life castaway story about a woman who survived at sea in a similar fashion, eating only creatures from the sea for a very long time. When she returned she gorged herself on any and everything that was not seafood and because her body had become so accustomed to it, the shock of having to digest the new diversity of food all at once eventually killed her just weeks after being rescued.

Sin number 60 which was "Also wasn't making rope of the plants on the island? So are those completely gone?" The answer is YES! In fact in the previous scene which you sinned the movie for, "character does thing after saying he isn't going to do the thing cliché." That scene began with him saying, "I have gone around the entire island and this is last of it." Which is referring to the plant he was using to make the rope. One sin removed.

"During a Q&A session at USC, Robert Zemeckis was asked what was in the unopened package. He replied that it was a waterproof, solar-powered satellite phone." -imdb

[@micahphilson]

Alaric, that doesn't really count if it's not in the film. So many things retconned or they say "oh, it was meant to be this", when there's no proof. Like how in The Room, the mother apparently was cured from cancer midway through. Or also regarding The Room, Wiseau apparently meant for it to be an intentionally terrible movie. Basically, that statement is useless and more of just a joke unless it's actually put in the film.

There's actually a FedEx commercial that plays this scenario out

[@DavidColumbia]

But the thing with fedex is the concept of time. That the character’s life is constructed around the clock, he’s always mindful of time and striving for greater efficiency, and then time stops and his relationship with time is re-examined. His role with fed ex at the start emphasises the juxtaposition of his eventual situation

[@mot00rzysta]

[@alvexok5523]

What's so unbelievable to me is that those Fed Ex packages washed up not only to the shore of the island but right up onto the shore of where Hanks was camped out, and it was a number of packages all washed up together in a group! Unless the plane crash happened literally no more than 50 to 100 meters out. But even if the crash did happen only 100 meters from the shore Hanks was on, and then after a completely demolished aircraft, complete with a detached engine that caught on fire, those packages managed to float away from that kind of a catastrophic mess, float in just the direction that would lead straight to the shore Hanks was on, and after all that still remain intact enough to where Hanks could open them up like you'd open a package delivered to your door at home, and the products inside the packages were still undamaged?? And just those packages from a huge crash show up and nothing else, no pieces of wreckage from the crash floating about, no debris, nothing else at all washing up onto the shore?? It may be me, but that seemed just so astronomically unlikely

While this is just a movie it does raise something very interesting about the human psyche: how would it play out if someone "returned from the dead" to find their SO with someone else? An understandable situation for the one left behind but unbearable for the one who returns. On some level this does happen all the time. Maybe military people experience it more than others. Like a sailor coming home after a long deployment and the SO has moved in with someone else cos they couldnt wait any more etc.

It kind of happened in the movie The Incredible Mr. Limpet, but it's because he gets transformed into a fish and then when he gets back to his wife, after rejecting advances from a lovely female fish whose life he saved and helping the Navy, he finds his wife is with his best friend. He'd rather be a talking fish anyway and work for the Navy so he goes off to be with his fish love interest, Ladyfish, to the spawning grounds, and his wife stays with his best friend.

The near ending of the movie reminds me of Forrest Gump. The Tom Hanks 'Chuck' character is talking to Kelly Frears ( played by Helen Hunt ), when they are in her house talking about her daughter.

I used to work for UPS at a pretty high level. We were offered the product placement first before FedEx, however management turned it down because they “didn’t want one of planes involved in a crash in a movie.” So FedEx was offered and they ran with it and made a fortune in product placement throughout the movie. I don’t believe they paid anything for it either, apart form loans some trucks and boxes her and their and letting them fill for a night at their Memphis, TN global hub so they could capture some shoots of Tom Hanks getting on the plane. It was universally agreed at UPS that the management at the time was stupid for turning down such opportunity for product placement in a blockbuster film.

You can actually boil salt water to make it fresh water, you just need a collection rig to condense the salt-free steam into a cup. A palm frawn works well.

You can in fact boil salt water to make it drinkable, in fact the saran-wrap/shrink around the box will help that matter. What you do is dig a hole in the sand until you reach the point where the water starts pooling up. Then you widen the hole until the sun can easily shine directly into it and place some sort of cup in the center in a way that the salt water won't get in it. From there you cover the hole with a singpe layer of saran wrap and after securing it in place wit a bunch of rocks, place a small rock just above the cup. Alternatively if he has a pot, he can more or less do the same by placing the cup in the pot of water and covering it with an upside down lid so that when the steam becomes water again, it will drip down into the cup.

What you are describing is distilling. "Boiling water" generally refers to purifying water by bringing it to a boil for one minute.

[@rogermurph101]

That doesn't work because the water boils. The water in the hole or pot is cool. The sun heats the air on the other side of the plastic and the water condensates on the plastic, but leaves the salt behind. It then drops into the cup or container. Robert Redford's character does this in "All is Lost".

He became not only smarter but also wiser and extremely patient as one who had gone through the flames of fire. Sharpened and very strong. He took the reality of his stranded so well.
