CAST AWAY (2000) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION 

The guy who played Wilson, also played in Top Gun as the volleyball during beach seen.

Someone asked the director "What was in the package that Tom Hanks did not open?" The director replied "A solar powered GPS enabled prepaid satellite phone" 😆

I never thought I'd cry over a guy losing his volleyball

So, Tom Hanks was interviewed about this movie, and they asked him about the ending. He said that it was open to interpretation and the viewer would have to decide for themself what happened. Then they asked him what HIS interpretation was, and he said, "Oh, he went back there and made babies with that woman." 😂😂

"They should have put Wilson in the Credits" LMFAO! Bro, you're SO right!! That's the best line I've heard all week!!! Too funny!!

There was a great Fed Ex Super bowl commercial, around the early 2000's..Show's the Fed Ex driver (supposed to be Hanks character, Hair and beard, and all) drive's up to the house with the package..Goes to the door, lady answers, and he tell's her he was stuck on an island for 5 years, and held onto her package because he work's for Fed Ex, and wanted to make sure she got it. She thanks him, he turns to leave, then turns back. Curious, he asks her "BTW, what's in the package?..She takes out a bunch survival items! Satellite phone, GPS locator, fishing rod, water purifier, and some seeds. "Not much. Just some silly stuff", then closes the door..Funny as hell!

I'd like to thank Wilson for being the most well-rounded actor in this movie. True global talent there. I especially like how he fought to remain a silent character despite what the producers wanted, it was the right call.

It's a testament to the Tom Hanks's acting ability when we tear up over a volleyball.

LMAO. "I bet he smells like a Detroit nightmare." Castaway definitely was an experience, and I too cried at the loss of Wilson.

"Their going to have me crying over a vollyball." We all said this. Rip Wilson.

We all felt the same way. Losing Wilson took us all out. Great reaction!

Wilson plays one of the most important supporting roles in a movie without saying a word.

The Predator was waiting on the island but Tom Hanks never had a weapon 😭

Trivia: All of the nighttime scenes on the island were shot during the daytime, and used filters to make it look like night. The only scene on the island actually shot at night was just after Chuck created fire. This movie took a six month hiatus in the middle of production so Tom Hanks could lose weight and look appropriate for the final half of the film. In that time, director Robert Zemeckis made an entire other movie (a horror/thriller) titled What Lies Beneath, starring Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer. He even used the same crew for both movies to ensure they would have steady work, and be available to return when Cast Away resumed production.

Should definitely check out the Martian with Matt Damon. It's basically the science version of this.

I've had in depth conversations about who I felt the worst for once he returned home. Of course, Chuck survived a nightmare and discovered he's stronger than he ever knew he could be. But his love for Kelly gave him the strength to fight & survive only to return to a married woman & mother. Unbelievable. But Kelly, I cannot imagine being in her position. The love of her life vanished after kinda proposing to her as he was leaving. She never thought he was dead but EVERYONE in her life told her she had to move on. They stopped searching for him and one can spend only so much chartering your own planes for a private search & rescue so she gave in finally & accepted he was gone. She eventually moved on and picked up the pieces with the help of the dentist whom she grew to love... just not the love she had for Chuck. Now she has a family and the love of her life returns "from the dead" still madly in love with her AND looking better than before he left. BUT she has a good husband whom she loves and a young daughter. She can't just leave her life. And Chuck is really a different person now so they may not even have the same bond anymore 😵😬😟😢 Can't imagine. Then it's the new husband. He knew Chuck was a good guy since he was his dentist and all. But he helped Kelly thru the worst time in her life. Helped her heal and made her a mother & now living a good life. Then boom. Then love of her life returns from the dead. How can he ever feel secure in that marriage anymore? He must know her thoughts are always gonna be with Chuck now. He knew she still had all the love for Chuck all along but he was dead so... But now 🤷🏾‍♀️. Just Wow . All 3 are just in a horrible position and I cannot imagine having to experience either role

J, at 15:35, still being concerned about the wet clothes, made me burst out laughing. It's comments like this, that make me love this channel so much. Have a great week everyone.

The first time I teared up to this reaction wasn’t even so much the movie as when he said: “Oh that’s not an option, I’m not killin’ me.” “I love me.” I felt that, bro. ✊

“You have to go home” the amount of maturity and will power that takes for him to do that is absolutely heartbreaking. They both still love each other and he chooses to not blow up her new life and family he chooses to move on and move forward no matter how difficult it is and that’s symbolized by the ending open roads going each way life can go any direction he chooses a new start. Edit Final Destination now Castaway this man is never flying 😂

There was a rumor running around for years after this movie came out saying there was a waterproof, solar powered, satellite cell phone in that package. What was actually in the packages was some home made salsa the woman (Bettina) made for her husband (Dick). There was also a letter to her husband talking about how she knows their life is boring and wants to work things out. With the included the salsa in there she was telling him she sent him a taste of home and to come home to her and wants to bring back the spice in their lives. Also of you pay attention to the archway sign at her house in the beginning of the movie you will see it has "Dick & Bettina" on it. At the end of the movie when Chuck finally delivers the package her husband's name has been torn off the sign.

“I bet he smell like a Detroit nightmare” 😂 You keep killing me with your hilarious commentary! You’ve effectively cured my depression every upload ♥️

Tom Hanks makes you cry over a volleyball. One hell of an actor. Another great reaction.

Castaway really is such a beautiful movie. Just a incredible performance by Tom Hanks. The scene where he is sitting down talking with his friend near the end always gets me emotional.

Respect to Alan Silvestri and all of the musicians that worked on this soundtrack. Just a beautiful, timeless piece of music.

I'm telling you, watching this in the theaters is the only way to do it justice. The Cinematography was some of the best I have ever seen in a movie. You actually felt like you were there with him.

The watch, Wilson, and the package are 3 key items of the film The watch with Kelly's picture was what kept him motivated to keep going. Wilson was what kept him sane with it's companionship due to him being isolated on the island by himself. The package gave him hope and a reason to get off the island to deliver it. Those 3 items also can intertwine with each other with each of their symbols of him being on the island and to get off it .

The title of the film has duel meanings The word "castaway" does mean stranded, isolated, marooned, etc etc. If you look at the title though the word "castaway" is separated into the 2 words "Cast Away". Which means thrown away, cast aside, rejected. So for a majority of the movie he was a castaway on the island but at the near the end after he escaped from the island he felt like he was cast away because everyone had moved on with their lives. Then at the end of the movie after he delivers the package Chuck is literally and metaphorically at a "crossroad" till he meets the woman and she gives him "directions" and he sees symbol on the back of her truck.

you know you made it in hollywood when you can carry an entire movie doing nothing but walking around half naked talking to a volley ball.

I saw this in the theater with my dad when I was 17 or so. A Saturday matinee. My mom stayed home because we knew it wouldn’t be her kind of movie. We basically walked out of the theater and drove home in silence, such was the impact of this film. It was the same exact thing with the Green Mile a year earlier. We were both basically trying to be manly and not to cry and just saying stuff like”that was a helluva movie, wasn’t it?” The mid 90s to mid 2000s was definitely the golden age of Tom Hanks’ career.

"They should put Wilson in the credits." See that's why you're one of the top commenters around, oh and also the fact that you turned this whole movie into a question on when he would get around to wiping his arse. 😂😂😂 p.s. major props on the editing of these video posts as well; always effortlessly great. The industry's loss.

The movie ended with the protagonist having faced an ordeal and got back to the world. But was at a crossroads, and looking at a girl that was probably ready for a good man and about to discover she saved a man's life when her world came crashing down. And all he had to do was go down that road. But I love Jay saw she had a dog and heard Cupid in the air. 😀 I do love they gave you bread crumbs to a classic hapoy movie ending.... But you decide what he did.

I've always loved one of the last lines of the movie: "Tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide may bring." Such a fantastic sentiment to help you get through hard times.

Wilson has the best lines in this movie

52:28 Everything J says about Wilson is 100% accurate! 🏐💚

Did you notice there's no music while he's on the island? Only as he's paddling away does the score start up again. Love your reactions!

The funny and rather ironic part about you calling him crazy, is the fact that what he's doing is one of the most important things that is keeping him sane. He has created himself a companion, someone he could associate and interact with. And that inner voice that we all have, he gave it to Wilson. Having someone to be in that situation with, compared to being alone, is a huge difference. Without Wilson, he would've probably lost it and given up a long time ago. (Granted, he had in fact lost it and given up once before, but fortunately he managed to get thru that) I just got to the part where you finally understand the significance of Wilson's role in this ordeal. Good job man. And is there a better testament to the acting skills of Tom Hanks? How many actors could get you to start bawling over a volleyball?

Losing Wilson was tough, but the part that really gets my waterworks going is when Kelly runs after Chuck in the rain and for a spilt second they have their lives back again.

Alright, I'll say it... Wilson, as himself in this role, is the greatest performance by a supporting actor of all time

You've been stranded on a deserted island for 4 years. He comes home to a party with sushi and crab legs, really? Couldn't do no better than that...

“My cousin didn’t treat Wilson like that.” You, sir, are the best.

"Shut the fuck up. They ain't taking this man's volleyball from him." Sir, I love you. And it's true: we all laughed at the beginning when he was talking to Wilson. But when he at last loses him (which is probably for the best since he makes it home), it is truly heartbreaking.

Wilson kept his mind sane. Although, I think we all talk to ourselves. In a sense, we all have a Wilson.

Wonder if he will shed a tear for Wilson.

Greatest reaction to Wilson ever. You were so sure that he was going to have him when he made it. And that’s what made it so much more meaningful.

If you notice, there was no musical score from the time he arrived on the island to when he left it. The music starts back up when he looks back on the island. Great dramatic affect.

The part where you find out he tried to kill himself... Ehh it's tempting to say you'd never do that...but being cut off from any human contact can drive a lot of people suicidal. Even people who consider themselves introverts and loners usually rely emotionally on others more than they think...even if it's just to see a few people most days and know they are there.

I know one thing for sure: I'd be damned if the catering was going to serve me crab legs after I'd been stuck on an island for four years. I don't care if it's cold cuts or filet mignon, you better bring me something that never spent one day of its life swimming.

Coconuts are amazing. Food, fire, rope, hydration, a receptacle… As Les Stroud says, best place to survive - if given the choice - is a tropical island.

I came here to watch you form an unreasonable attachment to a volleyball and then lose him. It was well worth it. The way things went with Kelly in the end is so tough to watch, but so well done. What else could he do? What else could anyone do?

Great reaction. Last year? Tom Hanks threw out a ceremonial first pitch to a baseball game. And guess who was on the mound with him? Wilson! It was being remote controlled by somebody off camera ,and Hanks went along with it. He was talking to it, and rolled off the mound and everything. It was awesome.

Great reaction :) to a wonderful gem of a film. Heartbreaking that they did not have them get back together but makes his telling her she has to go home to honor her existing family is so powerful....

LOL just because we didn't watch him wipe his ass doesn't mean he didn't do it. From the moment you saw him stand up that first time I'm sure his ass was already wiped by then LOL. Who _wouldn't_ wipe their ass 😆. Personally I'm glad they didn't show us that part 😂

I laughed so hard when you jumped at the life raft being punctured. The first thing that came to my head was "if you jumped at that I wonder how you react to you farting in the middle of the night when you're asleep". Also the life raft didn't competely deflate because they're designed that the inflated part of the raft is inflated in sections. So in case 1 starts to deflate somehow that the raft will still be able to float due to the other sections are still inflated.

You know you've made a great movie when people cry over a freaking volleyball. Great reaction to an amazing movie!

Tom Hanks with Wilson shows humans really will bond with anything. We're not made for isolation. Love this movie and the reaction ❤

I love this movie so much, even though it makes me cry every time, and I'll never see crab the same way again. edit 1: Personifying something in the environment. in this case Wilson, is actually a fairly healthy way of keeping yourself from going crazy from isolation. edit 2: Waited till now to mention the auto dentistry. I knew it would freak you out :) edit 3: Don't be too hard on the new husband. He knows he stands to lose her, and his protectiveness is understandable.

28:35 - "...This man's really here having a full conversation with this thing." Haha, my hilarious dude just said that as he's alone talking to an inanimate object called a camera.

the ending he was literaly standing at a crossroads in his life.

Another amazing reaction to an amazing movie. It really speaks to just how good Tom Hanks is as an actor that he can make you not only care, but cry about a volleyball. That scene always gets me, having to choose between the raft (the thing currently keeping you alive) and Wilson (the thing that kept you alive and sane) is both a no brainer and absolutely heart breaking. Also Robert Zemeckis halted production for an entire year so that Tom Hanks could lose all that weight for the movie.

Kelly: "I always knew you were alive. I knew it. In fact, my wedding cake was a deserted island with a little figurine of you on it."

There's something so real about that situation of coming home and seeing your love with someone else and knowing that it needs to stay that way. But I also know that these two people have changed while he was gone. She grieved and hurt and found new hope and life. He found himself clinging to life and scraping for every necessity just to make it another day. That changes a man psychologically. It would be hard to believe they could easily just pick up where they left off. The ending scene is listed on Google Maps too. The intersection of Texas 48 and 1268.

The idea of a rhino, a "pissed off orangutan", or even a "pissed off walrus" coming out there and attacking the guy would've been the perfect blooper. XD It IS pretty weird how there was almost no wildlife on that island--save for fish and crabs! But at the same time, this adds to the movie. If we had an animal companion alongside him like a chimp, bird, wild pig, or something, it would lessen the severity of just how lonely he was. Wilson really WAS all he had.

I saw this in theaters and couldn’t believe I was crying for the volleyball but Tom hanks did such an amazing job of showing heartbreak man it killed me. Was good to see someone else get emotional so I don’t feel so rediculius lol great reaction brother!

This is the type of honest 'resting my tear-filled eye on the microphone' reaction that you know is real.

"Dude, she got a puppy." Facts. Whatever sort of person that lady at the end is, if she's got a puppy she can't be half bad.

So he was actually losing body fat plus using his muscles a lot more just for survival which was making him look like he was getting buffed, until he really did, years later!😊

That was his pager he pulled out at the table. The look he gave her was basically “Damn I gotta go to work”

BTW, islands don't just spawn animals from nowhere. For animals to be on that island, they would have to get there somehow. And being that island is a really long way from everywhere else, odds of anything else other than sea life being there, is pretty slim.

"You don't wanna go fishing with him, he's ELITE!" 😂

what a perfect time to learn how to use the three seashells

You know the writing/acting/directing is good when they make you cry for a volleyball. Most recent movies cant make you shed a tear for the main character :D

"You wanna go fishing with him? He Elite. He throwin' spears and shit" 🤣🤣🤣

You & Tom jumped in perfect unison at 15:47.🤣🤗

I will say this is one of most interesting mainstream movies to ever come out. You have Tom Hanks talking to a Volleyball for most of the movie, and only one main character in isolation.

The power of Tom Hanks acting that I would cry 😢 when he got separated from Wison ⚽️!

The movie that made the whole world cry over a volleyball.

My friend always said that Tom Hanks losing Wilson was funny. Heartless...

Tom Hank was asked in an interview what Chuck did after the credits started, and he said "He went back after that nice lady and made a bunch of babies."

I saw this in the theater and it went nuts when Wilson fell of the boat. I was at a movie theater on a military base, so it was a little different with a group of Army men.

Hanks spent time with survivalists to show how people might figure out organically how they might surivive a situation like this.

That Wilson was one hell of an actor.

I think if the kids had not been a part of the situation, Kelly would have 100% divorced her husband. And it's a good chance that he knew that too. So that situation pretty much sucked for all parties involved lol. I like to think he went back to the mystery woman's place at the crossroads. He literally just left from there, and had left a package on her door. So he had at least that to work with as far as an opener. Yes, I know they're all fictional characters. But this is just one of those movies.

He washes his crack in da ocean, that's why he don't care about wiping!🌴

If only Chuck had watched Scream none of this would've happened. Everyone knows you never say I'll be right back in a movie 😁

Destiny or fate. Whatever you want to call it. All that happened to him, was to lead him to the "Wings" lady. Such an awesome movie.

The joke the director (I think) told about the package is that it contained a waterproof solar-powered satellite phone.

“My cousin didn’t treat Wilson llike that” lol 😆

Wilson is like that one stuffed animal you had since you were two or three years old, and talked to every day until you made "real friends". He's like your pet cat that you talk to until one day you leave the door open for a second too long and he's gone.

"They should put Wilson in the credits." Excellent!

such a great human movie. didn’t see it when I was young/it first came out, but I knew so much about it. very iconic.

The director halted production so Hanks could lose weight and went and made a movie during the time off. What Lies Beneath was a mystery thriller with Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford. And then director went back and finished Cast Away! Thanks for reacting!

When you can see the entire Island from the top of the rocks, you are NOT going to see any animals. 😂

12:56 "All you gotta do is put it in some rice. Good as new." 🤣

"The Terminal" is another Tom Hanks movie that I loved. I don't hear people talk about it much. I haven't seen it in years either.. It's weird because he looks exactly like my dad around that timeframe.

when he punched wilson outta the cave & u said "he rolled outta ur life", i nearly died lololol

Such a heartbreaking but beautiful movie. I never tire of it. The love story is just so sad to me…and Wilson!!!

I was never so happy to see a volleyball reincarnated! 😁

In the online video game stranded deep, you can find Wilson on one of the islands.

I never thought I'd laugh at this movie, but the ass wiping obsession, I'd never thought about. I'm still cracking up!

“I bet he smells like a Detroit nightmare” 😂🤣😅 I had to pause it.
