I served in the Navy .. when I saw this scene I thought of a sailor on that bridge, sees the whale blows water out of his blowhole, and then notices the human(Tom Hanks) on the raft and immediately says, "captain .. captain look at this .. there's a guy on a raft..." Captain sees Hanks and yells out - "All Stop!!!" Launch the rescue boat!!" All in all ... a great movie!!!
@@pettyofficerdingleberry4478 maybe .. but Hanks was not from the crew and it wouldn't matter either way.. cause I know if I saw Hanks, I would of said, "ho shit .. look at this!!! Captain !!! wtf!!!
Yes, general alarm followed by the Man Overboard signal blasts. They researched this well. I still don't understand how they can slow a ship and safely perform a rescue. Ships are like locomotives, they can't stop on a dime. Wish they'd included a couple minutes of his rescue so we can see it's not that easy.
@@ruthtalley242probably stopped engines and turned hard a starboard/port. You can stop “quickly” when in open water like this, maybe four ship’s lengths. To rescue him they either lowered the lifeboat or waited for him to paddle to a ladder or the pilot’s hatch - but probably the former since the ship would stop quite some distance away and they wouldn’t wanna lose him (it’s a miracle they even saw him - that raft is pretty damn small when you’re standing in that bridge).
They then flew the pervert to Greece to live out his life because Greece has no extradition treat with the united states, so he could never meet justice for the awful things he made Wilson do on the island.
Such an excellent and sad movie. The poor man had his life ruined forever, rescued or not. Lost touch, lost his beloved wife, lost everything. He endured Hell on Earth for so long very much for nothing. I always feel extremely depressed when I see this masterpiece.
His girlfriend was cheating on him. His brother tried to tell him at the party. She was using him as a raft while she went to school. The term Castaway is a metaphor about his relationship.
Hope that they will be found? Look at all the people that have their partners gone missing. Look at the loved ones of the victims of that Malaysian Airlines Flight that mysteriously lost contact. Are any of them being unfaithful whores?
I remember seeing some kind of Hollywood press event with TH in attendance WAY prior to the 2000 release. He had the long bleached hair and I was gobsmacked! "WTF??"
What Must I Do To Be Saved? This is the most important question in human existence and one whose answer is clearly outlined in scripture. In order to be saved we must first realize our true state of sinfulness before God and know that He alone can save us, cleanse us, and give us eternal life. Scripture tells us that Jesus is the only way and we can not have access to God through any other means. In fact, in John 14:6, Jesus plainly stated..."I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." God Loves You! God loves you so much that he made a way for you, through the shed blood of his son so that you might be able to spend eternity with Him. “For God so loved the world that he gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have Everlasting Life” ( Jn. 3:16 ). Man is a Sinner, and Sin has Separated him from God! You may think you are a good person but being good is not enough! Every man has sinned and there is none that is righteous before God! “For there is not a just man upon Earth, that doeth good and sinneth not” ( Eccl. 7:20 ). “For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God” (Rom. 3:23). Jesus Christ is the Only Remedy for Sin! Jesus Christ is the only remedy for sin. We can not be good enough to get into heaven, nor can our good works get us there. There was no other way for God to erase the effect of sin except by blood. The shedding of Christ's blood indicated that the penalty for sin had been paid; a perfect sinless life had been sacrificed for the lives of all who have sinned. “. . .Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins” ( Hebrews 9:22 ) “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God...” ( I Pet. 3:18 ). “Neither is there Salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” ( Acts 4:12 ). You Must Receive Jesus Christ as Your Lord and Savior To be saved, a man must confess that Jesus is Lord, while acknowledging in his heart that Christ must have full rule over his life. This confession of Christ as Lord assumes that it is Christ who will work and fulfill His own righteousness within man, as man is unable to attain righteousness of his own accord. Jesus calls this experience the “new birth.” He told Nicodemus: “. . . Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God” ( Jn. 3:3 ). We invite you now to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His Name” ( Jn. 1:12 ). Pray this Prayer and Mean it with all Your Heart Dear Lord Jesus, I realize that I am a sinner and have broken your laws. I understand that my sin has separated me from you. I am sorry and I ask you to forgive me. I accept the fact that your son Jesus Christ died for me, was resurrected, and is alive today and hears my prayers. I now open my heart’s door and invite Jesus in to become my Lord and my Saviour. I give Him control and ask that He would rule and reign in my heart so that His perfect will would be accomplished in my life. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. Congratulations! If you prayed this prayer in all sincerity, you are now a Child of God. However there are a few things that you need to do to follow up on your commitment. * Get baptized ( full immersion) in water as commanded by Christ * Tell someone else about your new faith in Christ. * Spend time with God each day through prayer and Bible reading * Seek fellowship with other followers of Jesus💐
Good movie. I have a painting that looks a lot like the final scene in the movie--corn fields all around. I don't know who painted it, but I think my father got the painting. My older brother got it after our father passed away. When I moved into a place of my own, my brother decided that I needed this big picture to fill a big wall space. He also thinks it resembles that last scene in the movie. Many years ago I watched that and other movies on DVDs borrowed from the library. My brother would sometimes watch with me. Now I can watch all sorts of stuff on my tablet PC. Anyway, good movie.
One thing that always bothered me was that he went from fully tanned (like years of being in the sun), then four weeks later is magically back to his normal skin tone again. Just not physically possible.
Maybe this is why... Chuck: "If it wasn't for this volleyball that I brought to life, that I named, that I gave a face to with my own flesh and blood...there is no way I would still be here today.... Stan: Yeah...brb.... ..."911 Where is your emergency?
I mean I’m sure he would have told the story of Wilson to portray how F$&@ed up life was on the island and what he needed to do as a coping mechanism. But I like your take on it too 😂
Whenever I see this scene, I think to myself, how easily they could have missed him. A man on a raft is a pinpoint compared to a container ship. What if nobody was looking out/down?
Guys,please accept lord Jesus Christ as your savior. He died for our sins so we can go to heaven AMEN God want you to know this Guys have a new life with him🙏
