Warren Wilson III

[@onemercilessming1342]

It wasn't about "what would you do if stranded on a deserted island". It was about "how would you handle a life-changing situation over which you have very little, if any, control". THAT is what almost anyone can relate to. Death of a loved one, divorce, job loss, etc. That's what makes this movie so emotionally powerful and, in the end, somewhat gratifying. Hanks' character goes through the emotional stages of grieving: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Only after he goes through those stages does he choose to end the ordeal on his own terms--come what may, he's going to leave the island and try to get home. It's one of the seven (actually, nine if you follow Christopher Booker) great plots, or combinations thereof.

A ball based on a movie released 2 years before she was born. Just goes to show how great this movie is.

At the start of the movie, Chuck was an emotionally distant person unable to connect emotionally with anyone aside from his wife. It was only his friendship with Wilson and the subsequent loss of Wilson that taught him that emotional connections are vital because the ones we love will not be there forever. We see his new insight when on the way home, he apologizes to his friend for not being there to support him when his friend's wife died.

[@brucejemcek6986]

Finding the ice skate, a precious piece of tempered steel in the shape of a blade, was critical to Chuck’s survival. He could chop wood, cut vines, rope, coconuts, crab shells, a tooth extractor, such an important tool.

For me, the most emotional and powerful moment of the film was when Kelly suddenly realized the depth of her love for Chuck , and the incredible miracle of his return and came running out in the rain, crying, arms outstretched, and embraced him, kissing him. I love you, you’re the love of my life. I lost control of my emotions in that scene.

[@Truthseeker-kc8rd]

True😭

[@kellykarcher7179]

Do you realize that Kelly was making plans to break up with Chuck since she was having an affair with his dentist? This is the reason why she was never around when he called. (You can actually hear her moaning while having sex with the dentist while the phone is ringing) Why do you think she so quickly married the dentist after learning of Chuck's plane crash? She later regretted marrying him because he prevented her from getting a doctorate degree. (he wanted her to be a home maker and mother instead) She expressed a huge sigh of relief when Chuck asked her about the Tennessee Titans football team instead of her affair with the dentist. Chuck had calculated the timeline of her affair as he was only gone for 50 months and she had been married for well over 3 years and had a child. Kelly was a cheater and she was going to CAST Chuck AWAY once he returned from his business trip. Watch the movie again and you will see all the telltale signs that Kelly was going to dump him for the dentist. It's as clear as day...

[@LV4TD101]

Another thing I remember seeing about the making of this film, is when they finish filming and started editing the film they discovered all the audio wasn't usable. The wind and ocean waves masked out the other sounds they needed, so they had to recreated the sound effects in the studio to be doubted into the movie. There is a video of this, they were really creative with trying to replicate certain sounds.

[@JB2387]

On 'Inside The Actor's Studio' Tom Hanks spoke about how people were furious that they didn't know what was in the package or what happened with the woman at the end of the movie, Tom said that he believes Chuck goes after her and ends up marrying her.

[@lakeracer8453]

I think a lot of people miss the terrific play on words of this movie's title. In your video's title, you refer to the movie as "CastAway" when in fact the title is "Cast Away". A castaway is someone who's been shipwrecked (or plane wrecked) and stranded (remember Gilligan's Island?). In this flick, the whole time he's on the Island, Chuck is clinging to the love of his life Kelly Fears. He finally gets home only to find he has been Cast Away by her. Entertaining vid as always, keep 'em coming!

[@marlow769]

Chuck was unsure partly because there was a realization that Kelly had probably been having an affair evidenced by her reluctance to marry Chuck, a situation mirrored by Bettina’s husband (from the movie’s opening FedEx delivery to her cheating husband in Russia), this being an unspoken character thread that carried throughout the entire movie until where Chuck meets her at the end when returning her undelivered package with her signature gold wings. Also we were witness to the beginning where her husband’s name was over the property’s driveway with Bettina’s and at the end where it had been removed…etc, etc. There was the unspoken undertone that Chuck was already being Cast Away (just like Bettina) even before he was stranded on that island. When you watch the movie with this idea in the back of your mind, the situation seems obvious but that dynamic didn’t make it to the surface until later viewings.

[@triggerray3443]

He didn't know how to pick up his life when he returned to it only to find all his hopes and dreams were gone. In essence he was left alone on another island. He finished delivering the package but now that was complete he didn't have a survival goal for the first time in years. The girl at the end spells it all out for him in what she says but he doesn't get it right away. She drives away and again he is lost but then realizes she was the one whos package he had all that time because she has the same painted wings on the back of her pickup truck as was on the package. It all becomes clear, the wings gave him purpose and the will to live once before and now they are showing him the way again. Maybe it's to her or just about never giving up. Whatever he does after that is irrelevant. It stops there at another crossroads because that's where you, the viewer, are left to think about your life and get the meaning of the movie. It's reminding us to about thinking about where you have been, where you are now and where you are going. To hold on to what's important and knowing when to let go. It's a movie about survival in more ways than one.

[@DCMarvelMultiverse]

I always think of Castaway whenever I see people at bus stations who just got out of prison.

[@ghostcityshelton9378]

Thankfully & hopefully that is changeing as now there are some programs out there to help those just getting out of prison get real job training & a start to be able to change & turn around their lives. Makes BIG SENCE as if a person isn't given a chance at a way to earn a living then they're forced to turn to crime again.

[@fcove5453]

Keep them coming minty. Ur the best

[@MickeyKnox]

to be honest ... I always cry in the scene when Chuck and Wilson got separated on sea - it's a really sad scene

[@Amber-xm1yr]

This I believe is my favorite video of yours so far. I love your comedy.

[@erikthompson619]

You managed to do a fifteen-minute-plus segment on "Castaway" without mentioning Robinson Crusoe ONCE?! :-D

[@yesyesyesyes1600]

We don't do rip offs here. Only originals! :D

[@yesyesyesyes1600]

@ You know ... they would have never written the book if there hadn't been this movie :D :D :D

[@SongOfStorms411]

I assume the content for this channel mostly comes from Wikipedia, and sure enough- the Wikipedia article also oddly fails to mention Robinson Crusoe anywhere. I wonder if Minty legitimately thinks this movie idea was some kind of new concept and is unaware that it's one of many derivatives of a 300 year old classic novel.

[@yesyesyesyes1600]

@@SongOfStorms411 *using Minty's voice* Number 1 - the movie was based on a classic novel. Hard to believe but there is a book you might never have heared of - Robinson Crusoe. Wilson never told me that he was based on a character named Friday ...

What about Gilligans Island?

[@tricivenola8164]

I moved to Istanbul in 2004 and immediately made a series of dumb expat mistakes that cost me all my money. A friend helped me get an apartment, and I was able to get a job. But I was at bare survival level for months, and boy, did I think a LOT about this movie. Making do with so little gave me a humbling appreciation for every single small comfort, which ha never left me. Now I know why this movie stayed with me- because the writer tried to do the same. Thanks for this look at it again

[@intervalaiccomix]

Thought the world was screwy now, just put that mask of Loki on Wilson and see what happens lol. Love the content keep it up

[@frankgallacher6598]

I watched a interview and Tom Hanks was asked about why you use Fed Ex ?he said "it was much cheaper to use a known brand and that Fed-Ex was more then happy to not only provide their planes and what have you but also technical advice ..that had we where to go through a made up brand would have push our film budget...in short ...it was to save money.

[@PoeticProse7]

Bite me, Wilson! Spalding is a better guy, anyway. He knows how to treat a lady!

[@colormedubious4747]

He was kind of a loser in "Caddyshack."

[@nate3972]

I don't think they could possibly find a less funny person than this guy

[@MintyComedicArts]

Yep it's time to throw in the towel and call it a day because Sir Nate of KZbin Comment Section said I wasn't funny. I guess I just couldn't live up to the burger and fries in his display pic. I have now seen the light ...

[@SkyWidows]

I heard that there was a satellite phone, with a solar powered battery, and a waterproof casing, in the package.

[@leeandrewuk]

Or a survival kit

[@jordysmetalshop4341]

You saw that Madtv episode too😆😆😆

[@davemustaki134]

There was a superbowl ad about that

[@NemeanLion-]

Not true. The satellite phone was an inside joke and not in the script. The package was written to have two jars of salsa verde and a note begging her husband to come back to her.

[@bjornemccomb8262]

I love Castaway as well as What Lies Beneath! The screenwriter is a genius for becoming a castaway for a bit, and that’s where he got the idea for Wilson...unreal facts 👍🏻

[@charlesking6815]

That box 📦 Tom Hanks held onto probably had everything he needed to be rescued 🤣🤣🤣

[@thejavelin7832]

There was a TV commercial years ago that spoofed on that. I think it was an add for survival gear.

[@monicapyle]

Lmao

[@jameserickson3477]

I am so happy you found your long lost brother.

[@aftrthejake6843]

Lol minty thinking about putting the mask on Wilson cracked me up.

[@duberdurm]

My favorite Hanks movie. Everyone can relate to moving from one stage in life and into the unknown. Childhood to adulthood, from home to college, moving to a new place, etc.. It's just a wonderful story.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

Plane crash into the Pacific, etc.

[@kermitttt]

Wilson stole that movie. He haid more Life then Helen Hunt for sure

[@Annalyse74]

I’m addicted to this series

[@MAGGOT_VOMIT]

_LOL!!! WILSON ABANDONED TOM'S AZZ!!!! xD_ _Wilson suffered years of being sexually abused by Tom and finally escaped._

[@joshmichael1704]

Man keep it up I'm liking these reviews .
