Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
"I should have been there for you... and I wasn't" He's not talking about being stranded on the island. He's saying he should have been there for him _before_ the accident.
I remember watching this with my family and when he visits his lost love and everyone is getting emotional. My late Father says " well at least he got his car back!" 😂 A true romantic he was.
At first I was irritated by the ending, i.e. that we weren't told where Chuck went or what he did -- but then I realized that the ending was perfect. The whole point was that now, finally, it was in Chuck's power to choose his future. It would have been wrong for the screenwriter or director to make that choice _for_ him. 🙂
I don't agree at all with you, I think the ending was more that the package he was delivering was sort of like Wilson, it was a reason for him to keep living and surviving on that island so, the ending was more of him thanking the person by delivering the item. The concept of not knowing what happens after is because the story was finished and didn't need more of the story to be told.
@@bigdream_dreambig ahhh, I thought about it and now I see what you meant, I thought you were annoyed by the package not being revealed. You were appreciating that he finally was free from the island and now could live a real life even if he had to start all of it over.
I love how the movie shows that it's the little things that keeps us going. The packages washed up on shore and the wings logo on one of them made him stop to think, and that package eventually became a symbol of hope for him. The fact that he never opened it and he brought it with him - even taking the time to paint the wings on the sail - showed that he was holding on to hope, and that's what ended up saving his life. Who knows what the tide could bring..
on one time, people ask the director what is inside the last package chuck never open, it was actually a sattelite phone, so chuck devotion as fedex guy blind him
It never fails to get to me when Wilson drifts out of Chuck’s ability to swim and Chuck suffers loss all over again - him crying on the raft is heartbreaking.
So many parts of this movie hit me and you touched on everyone. I still can't get the scene out of mind where he's back in his hotel room and looks at all the food on the table and lights the lighter. All the things we take for granted in our life that comes in gross abundance and he had to fight to acquire the simplest pleasures every day for 4 years. I don't think I could have made it.
46:55 I think that he was more apologizing for not being there for him before he ended up on the island. For being too busy to be a good friend to him. He didn't even know that there was anything wrong with his friend's wife until someone else asked how she was doing. I think that, while he was on the island, he realized that he missed the people in his life more than he did the work and that he spent so much time focused on work, that he didn't give enough time and attention to the things that really mattered to him in the end.
28:50 There is no way to make a fire banging 2 rocks together. I think you're thinking of flint and steel. If he had some flint, he could probably have used the steel ice skate and that would be easier than using the sticks. I don't think he had any flint, but there is a small chance some might be found just lying around on this island given that it was probably created by a volcano some time in the past.
Thanks for your heartfelt genuine reaction Bisscute. The open ocean is my biggest fear. This movie makes me emotional everytime. Chuck definitely ends up in a relationship with the very nice artist lady.
Based on the appearance of the island, the local rock is likely volcanic rock (basalt to be specific) And as such is unlikely to have the necessary metal content needed to use in creating a spark/fire. So the stick method probably is the best way to create fire in this specific survival scenario.
Yep, it's basalt. The name of the island is Monuriki, it's a small uninhabited island just off Fiji. There are other small islands nearby, they had to be taken out of the picture, and I think the high waves had to be added in through visual tricks as well. But the size and outline of the island is authentic. It's a tourist attraction now.
Bisscute, thank you for being such a prolific reactor. It looks like you’ve done at least 10 reactions in the last two weeks. You are my favorite reactor on UA-cam and I enjoy spending a little time with you every so often. Please keep up the hard work! Thanks!!
It's pretty convenient to the story that Tom's character works for FedEx and get cast away during a delivery flight. Meaning that there's a lot of stuff in that plane he could use to survive. He was stranded on an island, almost died and she is the most affected?, the most hurt? Yeah, right.
His decision to build and ride the raft was simply life-or-death. He knew that he would end his life or die making contact with people. It was more "this is now your job", no questions.
Another great reaction…. I fell over laughing when you said your die alone and your born alone and then the comment about your mom. 😂 Another Tom Hanks movie you must see, Apollo 13! It’s a true story and it will have you in the edge of your seat clear to the end. Keep up the great work!
2:13 This is Red Square, Moscow. But there are no residences there, only museums and a shopping center. In Moscow, people live in high-rise apartment buildings. Going outside in a robe in the winter right out of your private house is nonsense. 😂
Sadly the beautiful woman who played Bettina is Lari White who died in 2018. I love the fact that at the end where Chuck is at a cross road in his life and deciding if he should follow Bettina is actually standing at a cross road.
I was standing standing at a crossroad 8 times yesterday. Every one of those moments was so special and meaningful. I think I chose the wrong road every time...
“Headwind?” That’s precisely what he said. He’s worried they will be late because of the headwind and is asking if they’ll be able to push a little harder than usual in order to make up for the time lost due to the headwind.
Ah, this movie is a masterpiece. You expect it to be close to ending when he gets off the island, but no, that's just the start of the final act. Chuck is now a man who doesn't belong in his own life. His job, his family, his friends, all gone in one form or another, and he has to find a way to be okay with that. It's a powerful sequence to end the film with him at a literal crossroads, with only open roads ahead of him in every direction.
The orange thing that broke off the raft underwater while still on the plane was the GPS tracking unit that would’ve meant he’d have been found right away.
There is some funny commercial where they spoof this and he delivers the wing package at the end and the lady opens it and thanks him for the satellite phone and flares and just everything you’d want to get rescued 😆
Btw, at 28:29 you can tie a piece of cordage around the end of the stick as well as two loops for your thumbs so you don't have to keep moving your hands up and down.
As someone who does bushcraft as one of my past times I can say it’s far easier to use the stone to spark “but” you need ideally flint although quartz will work and you need a solid bit of steel to strike it with “the steel of the skate would work” but flint and quartz are not often found in tropical parts of the world so that is why you will find that tribal people will use a bow and drill more often. The bow and drill is like the twisting way he started with but you use a loose strung bow “bow and arrow” to speed the spin and make it less work on your arm. The method of rubbing is a very good method with 2 simple bits of wood and no tools to make them the correct shape but as it shows you can split the bace wood easily and loose the embers or over oxygenate the embers it’s a very realistic representation of fire making with what he had to hand and where he is in the world 😊👌🏻 Iv loved watching you thinking on the survival preparations before it happened so many reactions almost seemed surprised with what he did its good that you was thinking forward 👏🏻👍🏻 also when are we getting the IT part 2 reaction? Part 1 was fun seeing you react we need part 2 now 😉😬😅👌🏻🫶🏻
I know it's a movie, but if you're stranded on a deserted island, you couldn't get much luckier than to have one with coconut trees. The water, the meat, the fibers to use as tinder. They're practically perfect.
@@ToeTag1968 100% true if you are stranded alone you strike gold with coconut palm trees or ever greens like pine fur etc hard woods are very handy but don’t have as many easy to obtain uses 👌🏻
I don't think I would have left the island, but I suppose after four years he wasn't wanting to live just to stay alive. Love your movie and music reactions
I loved your reaction to this movie BissFlix. Out of all of them, yours was my favorite. I loved good genuine reactions to movies where the main character finds himself at a crossroads like with Tom's character of Chuck Noland. Then returning home to learn his girlfriend married someone and realizes her place is with Jerry and for Chuck to let her go altogether. Him smiling off into the distance like that after seeing the yellow wings on the back of her truck was a definite sign. You think back to the opening of the movie where the FedEx truck goes to her place. Basically what happens at the beginning is also at the ending too.
I really enjoyed your reaction. This was a very important movie for me personally. It helped get me through a very difficult time in my life when all seemed hopeless. You missed a joke when Chuck told his newly-named 'Wilson' that his dentist was named 'Dr. Spaulding'. Wilson and Spaulding are the 2 largest brands of sports (basketball, baseball, volleyball, etc) ball manufacturers :)
I would have remained on the island, but I would have used the coconuts with messages to drift on the sea. Long-shot, sure, but it's a balance between doing nothing and blowing everything you have on one roll of the dice. Though, to be fair, if I knew about the angel wing lady, Wilson could have maybe talked me into going for broke. In the meantime, I would have been weaving mats and lacing/twining rope from the palm fronds, and maybe even tried some carving of bowls and other useful items. After all, I'd have the time, and given that they can at least be used for fires later, always useful.
Hi. I'm looking forward. The working day will be more pleasant knowing that in the afternoon there will be a cinema screening, and this particular movie is one of my favorites. Regards!
I watch many reaction videos and this is one of my favorite movies and I’m very happy to have discovered this beautiful, funny and sensitive lady. Thank you for sharing your reaction with me. I must admit that I could listen to your voice indefinitely. You’re awesome and beautiful! ❤
10:30 - 10:40 You say you feel like they're nose-diving, but you get a couple of glimpses of the artificial horizon on the co-pilot's screen and it looks like they're pointing about 3-5 degrees *upwards*... Assuming that's not just a mistake in the film, that would mean the pilots levelled out the descent and tried to land on the belly of the plane.
St. Petersburg is beautiful, especially now, in the "white nights". I've been living here since I was born :) On this island, I would have died in an hour.
That final scene with the sculptor gets me in the feels every time. Well, the whole movie does of course. Bisscute it was so great that you were so dead on with many of your observations, like that he should call his volleyball Wilson! When you got emotional all I wanted to do was give you a big hug. If you haven't already seen Captain Philips you really should. There's a scene near the end that's very interesting. The Naval Hospital Corpsman, basically a nurse who treats Hanks (Captain Phillips) was actually a real-life Corpsman and because she played it for real and Hanks acted like a real patient it's actually a powerful scene, short as it is. Keep 'em coming!
I was eight back then when movie released, and it's the first movie who made me cry, it's when Tom Hanks sailing nice and easy away from island (I don't understand english back then).
"Spalding" is an American sports equipment manufacturing company. It was founded by Albert Spalding in Chicago in 1876 as a baseball manufacturer, and is today headquartered in Bowling Green, Kentuck
(as a life-long sailor) I would definitely stay on the island. Just move in and enjoy the view. Maybe spend a few years building a reasonable boat that could handle some exploring and make it back. Make a compass or some form of navigation relative to your island, etc... Native polynesians explored the pacific in sailable canoes, but they had navigation figured out first. Taking off on a boat, best case scenario is you keep heading west (with the tradewinds) until you run into Australia/NZ/some island. But it could take months at the rate a boat like that moves. You'd have to have a lock on fishing and desalinating water before leaving (or large stores), and I just think navigation is easier to figure out and implement. Once you can keep track of your island, you can go anywhere for a few days and come back. Then start stretching it out to a few weeks, etc...
OK. You're a life-long sailor. Does that imply that you are able to build a boat that is in any way bigger and better than the raft that the Tom Hanks character built - given the scarcity of building materials on that island?? I doubt it. In the end, it comes down to making a decision to either remain on the island until you are either rescued or die, or to attempt to leave and trust to hope wherever the current takes you.
@@marksterner7532 Yeah, it actually does IMO. I am intimately familiar with boat design fundamentals and most advanced concepts. I'm also extremely 'handy' and resourceful, both by nature, and additionally as a direct result of being a sailor. And these are common traits most sailors share. You learn boat design when you learn what type of sailor you are and what type of boat you want to sail. A lot of us have bought several boats and gone through different design philosophies at various times in our life... You learn the basics of hydrodynamics and aerodynamics just by learning to sail. Sailboats don't simply get pushed by the wind... You learn about righting moments, sail to displacement ratios, ballast ratios, surface areas, buoyancy ,etc. All just from the very basics of learning to sailing. Then add 20+ years of experience to that. You learn to be handy and resourceful, whether you like it or not, because all boats require an insane amount of upkeep and updating, especially if you're into long-distance sailing or racing (which is about half of the sailors out there). Only wealthy people can afford to buy brand-new boats and have other people do all the work for them, and even rich people often enjoy the building and maintenance part of sailboats. A lot of people actually build their own boats. It's way more common than you might think. A lot of people consult with designers/builders and have their boats built to their own specifications, that is also very common. Most sailors, I would guess the large majority of them, could build a proper sailboat from scratch out of rudimentary materials and tools. And anyone who's spent any amount of time thinking about sailing long distances, has taken the time to learn the primary weather routes around the globe. Speaking of, we also learn how weather works, and fundamental navigation (not gps, although I assume that's getting more and more rare). The Polynesians did it long before any of this stuff was common knowledge. They figured out how to sail outrigged canoes, a completely unique concept, and not a simple one, and to navigate between islands without any form of modern compass or navigation systems. A rudimentary catamaran would be a simple enough design to be made out of trees and sticks. And given that you'd have years to build it, even if your knowledge is very basic, you'll figure it out eventually.
29:07 With either the friction method or the flint and steel both require tinder bundle and fuel source being prepped before hand. For a person who is not skilled in either, I think the flint and steel method would be easier on the hands. It is true it tends to take several attempt for the spark to take into the highly flammable material such as lint, or highly separated and dry cotton like material and getting that material I would consider the difficult aspect. The advantage of the friction method is it creates an ember, a collection of burning sawdust that will be smoking. The ember lasts longer than the sparks and can be transported to the "birds nest" of tinder to ignite. I feel to much focus is paid to the rubbing of stick to get the ember and not enough time is spent on collection of tinder and fuel, building up the flame, and sustaining the flame to the detriment of the use of the information when you need to put it in practice. I think ultimately people should take time actually practicing such survival skills that, while not being of much use in the context of civilization are of use in "emergencies" and also connect with some primal psychology while engaging with it.
If it was me, I think I'd have been dead on that island in less than a week. But if I had the chance to leave, I'd have taken it because at least I tried to get home. It was a shock when we realise that four years have passed, then when we discover that he tried to hang himself. There is alot of emotion when Wilson was lost, but the biggest sadness is the discovery he has lost his greatest love at home. I had a very large hole in my stomach when he left her near the end of the film. Almost like an emptiness that could never be filled again. I just watched this film for the first time last weekend and it was a real rollercoaster. Thanks for sharing your reaction. 👍🏻
The girl in the truck at the end was Lari White, an American Country music singer / songwriter, record producer and actress. She tragically passed away from cancer in 2018 at the age of 52. RIP
I love your accent and your perspective on movies. Your worries about getting wrinkles is crazy. It shows your interest in the movie. I give 2 thumbs up!
One the those movies that has stuck with me. It was fun watching you experience it. Also, you have that pure quality that comes through and makes you super cute !
You nailed it she's very honest God made abuitiful girl how was given a lot of wisdom from her parents i think shes special im sure you know that pray that God keeps her on the right path have a good one some day the world will have peace for ever ihpoe she stays on the right path have a good one
The meme of the last fedex box is that it contained a sat phone, knife, lighter/matches, etc. Everything that he would need to survive and get rescued sooner!
I always love your knowledge on aviation. And the way you roll your ‘R’s! Most people watch a movie about aeroplanes and don’t understand the details. I love that you have inside knowledge. 👍 And your accent! 🫣 👍😁
Right before I watched this reaction, I watched a video of a Samoan Chief at the Polynesian Cultural Center in Hawaii. He was basically doing a comedy routine, but educating people at the same time. Everything he demonstrated would have been useful for Chuck on that island: starting a fire by rubbing sticks together, opening a coconut, squeezing "milk" from a coconut. His name is Sielu Avea, for anyone interested in looking up the video. It's approximately 26 minutes long.
It is a great movie and Tom Hanks does a great job. It is crazy to see how much he changed in four years to being so helpless to being almost feral. I would risk leaving and try to get back after awhile because with how vast the ocean is there are islands out there that haven't been discovered and if I didn't try to make it out then I would be on that island till the end of my days. I would need to have hope in order to go on and I would need something to look towards. Hard to believe how much of this movie was filmed with Tom Hanks not saying a word and that most of time the crew didn't talk to him so that he could be in character mode and feel isolated.
28:56 you ask whether using a fire bow or makeshift flint and steel is better. The answer is absolutely a fire bow, not only can you not guarantee a spark but most of the sparks made from stronger stones don’t last long enough to catch. Although in this he is missing the most important part of the fire bow, which is the actual bow. You need a long curved stick and some kind of rope to make the bow part (for his situation I’d recommend ripping the part of the dress that isn’t mesh up in a spiral pattern from the top, creating a long and thin piece of cloth. Then I would divide it into 3 and braid it together, for the stick just try to find one). Additionally you need some kind of small shell, those are easy to find on the beach. By wrapping the braided dress rope around the smaller straight stick (the one he has in the movie) and tying it to each end of the bow you can converse your energy much more than Tom hanks did. You hold the shell on top to make a barrier between the smaller stick and your hand, then use your other to make slow and deliberate motions. The smaller stick will spin rapidly because of how the bow is setup, and you can keep up the same momentum long into the night. Starting a fire either way will take a long time, and would require a lot of prep work.
I love this movie. I remember seeing in the theatre. What would you do in that situation? The ending itself is a poetic masterpiece. The crossroads... Thank you...
Hello Miss Bisscute 🤩 great reaction as always , little dose of fun facts : 1. Director Zemeckis once mentioned , that a solar-powered watertight satelite-phone was in the last unopened Fedex package :) dont know if it was a joke or not but it is fun to think about , never give up and open all packages if it is you , surviving on remote island somewhere :DDD . 2. The screenwriter W. Broyles actually spent a week on the beach trying to survive by himself , that is the reason why it feels so realistic + brilliant acting of Tom Hanks of course :) , except the unrealistic aircraft crash scene . 3. If you want to visit that island , it is Monuriki , Fiji 🏖☀
Other than having it rough at first on that island its very fortunate he didn't have dangerous wildlife or even more dangerous people to have to deal with
I feel the same way about The Black Stallion and the King Kong's, lol, just the parts on the island are the best, before they get back to 'civilization'.
I saw Tom Hanks in a interview with the Actors Screen something or other. He was asked by the host what he thought happen with Chuck after the final act. Tom Hanks answered, well he turn around and married that girl and had babies. (a short version of what he said but pretty much what he meant. I really enjoy your reactions, thank you.
28:51 The technique that I think would be the easiest is the bow-drill technique. But there's a guy named Greg Ovens who shows how to make the bow-drill technique even easier by putting the weight of the log on top of your spindle stick. It basically adds weight and holds the spindle stick for you, which is much harder to do by hand.
movie trivia. I read that this was originally shopped to ups to be the carrier in the movie, but they declined. saying they didnt want their customers thinking of their packages going down in the ocean. so they went to fedex and they accepted. also they stopped filming for I think 6months for tom to lose the weight to be skinny for his time on the island where he didnt have much food.
Kelly was played by Helen Hunt, who is a fantastic TV and movie actress. She stars in “As Good As It Gets” with Jack Nicholson (One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, A Few Good Men, The Shining). It’s an excellent romance-comedy movie from 1997; well worth reacting to!
Question time :
What would you do ? Choose to stay on the island or risk it and leave?
Thank you so much for being here
I would choose to stay on the island. And just hope for the best.
It depends.. If you have a special someone or a child to go back to, for sure you'd want to risk it all and leave.
I would stay on the island.
I would stay, until I had the supplies to leave.
i would stay for ever
Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me .
I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
"I should have been there for you... and I wasn't"
He's not talking about being stranded on the island.
He's saying he should have been there for him _before_ the accident.
Chuck’s speech after he returns hits me hard and I’ve heard it 1000 times. Great movie. Great reaction.
Are you saying that's you've seen this movie a thousand times?
@@dabreal82 😆
I agree with you. His whole heart and everything leading up to this had made him the broken, saved, and grateful person that he was.

Cast away makes everyone cry. If you dont cry to this movie you dont have a heart or feelings! 😊 am already prepared to cry with you!
Agreed. When Wilson floated away, I cried like a baby.
@@Sandstroem1981 yeah for real.
28:50 There is no way to make a fire banging 2 rocks together.

Another great survival drama is 127 Hours! It's a helluva ride!
16:50 I was at a park on Key Biscayne in Florida once with lots of palm trees and we heard that "thump" of coconuts falling every few minutes.
It's pretty convenient to the story that Tom's character works for FedEx and get cast away during a delivery flight. Meaning that there's a lot of stuff in that plane he could use to survive. He was stranded on an island, almost died and she is the most affected?, the most hurt? Yeah, right.
Taxi Driver: Hey man, how long you gonna be ?
Tom Hanks: you know I was just stranded on an island for four years right ?
That was great, thank you!
His decision to build and ride the raft was simply life-or-death. He knew that he would end his life or die making contact with people. It was more "this is now your job", no questions.
Another great reaction…. I fell over laughing when you said your die alone and your born alone and then the comment about your mom. 😂
Another Tom Hanks movie you must see, Apollo 13! It’s a true story and it will have you in the edge of your seat clear to the end.
Keep up the great work!
This is an absolute Master Piece. One of the greatest movies ever made.
2:13 This is Red Square, Moscow. But there are no residences there, only museums and a shopping center.

The winged package had a satellite phone inside that was waterproof and solar powered.
This is actually revealed in the after end-credits scene no one ever bother to watch.

Movie recommendation: Galaxy Quest! Love that movie! Cast away is so well done. I think it's Tom's second best behind Forrest Gump. Have a great day!
Galaxy Quest is among the best movies ever for sure.
I definitely look at these films from a survival aspect, how to make fire,shelter, food, water etc.
“Headwind?” That’s precisely what he said. He’s worried they will be late because of the headwind and is asking if they’ll be able to push a little harder than usual in order to make up for the time lost due to the headwind.
24:01 that scream though 🤣
If you want more survival movies, a great one, and that is based on a true story, is ‘Alive’. It’s one emotional movie.
Ah, this movie is a masterpiece. You expect it to be close to ending when he gets off the island, but no, that's just the start of the final act. Chuck is now a man who doesn't belong in his own life. His job, his family, his friends, all gone in one form or another, and he has to find a way to be okay with that.

This movie makes me cry OVER A VOLLEYBALL!!! You know it's a great film when that happens.
The orange thing that broke off the raft underwater while still on the plane was the GPS tracking unit that would’ve meant he’d have been found right away.
There is some funny commercial where they spoof this and he delivers the wing package at the end and the lady opens it and thanks him for the satellite phone and flares and just everything you’d want to get rescued 😆
Btw, at 28:29 you can tie a piece of cordage around the end of the stick as well as two loops for your thumbs so you don't have to keep moving your hands up and down.
Great reaction, thanks.
One of my favorite Tom Hanks movie is ‘Turner&Hooch’.
But all of Tom Hanks movies are great. 👍🏾
Biss: " I can't schedule sheet"... so cute! 😋😋😋
I liked the "Oh feesh! FEESH!" 😆
As someone who does bushcraft as one of my past times I can say it’s far easier to use the stone to spark “but” you need ideally flint although quartz will work and you need a solid bit of steel to strike it with “the steel of the skate would work” but flint and quartz are not often found in tropical parts of the world so that is why you will find that tribal people will use a bow and drill more often. The bow and drill is like the twisting way he started with but you use a loose strung bow “bow and arrow” to speed the spin and make it less work on your arm. The method of rubbing is a very good method with 2 simple bits of wood and no tools to make them the correct shape but as it shows you can split the bace wood easily and loose the embers or over oxygenate the embers it’s a very realistic representation of fire making with what he had to hand and where he is in the world 😊👌🏻 Iv loved watching you thinking on the survival preparations before it happened so many reactions almost seemed surprised with what he did its good that you was thinking forward 👏🏻👍🏻 also when are we getting the IT part 2 reaction? Part 1 was fun seeing you react we need part 2 now 😉😬😅👌🏻🫶🏻
I know it's a movie, but if you're stranded on a deserted island, you couldn't get much luckier than to have one with coconut trees. The water, the meat, the fibers to use as tinder. They're practically perfect.
@@ToeTag1968 100% true if you are stranded alone you strike gold with coconut palm trees or ever greens like pine fur etc hard woods are very handy but don’t have as many easy to obtain uses 👌🏻
I don't think I would have left the island, but I suppose after four years he wasn't wanting to live just to stay alive. Love your movie and music reactions
I loved your reaction to this movie BissFlix. Out of all of them, yours was my favorite. I loved good genuine reactions to movies where the main character finds himself at a crossroads like with Tom's character of Chuck Noland. Then returning home to learn his girlfriend married someone and realizes her place is with Jerry and for Chuck to let her go altogether. Him smiling off into the distance like that after seeing the yellow wings on the back of her truck was a definite sign. You think back to the opening of the movie where the FedEx truck goes to her place. Basically what happens at the beginning is also at the ending too.
I really enjoyed your reaction. This was a very important movie for me personally. It helped get me through a very difficult time in my life when all seemed hopeless. You missed a joke when Chuck told his newly-named 'Wilson' that his dentist was named 'Dr. Spaulding'. Wilson and Spaulding are the 2 largest brands of sports (basketball, baseball, volleyball, etc) ball manufacturers :)
I would have remained on the island, but I would have used the coconuts with messages to drift on the sea. Long-shot, sure, but it's a balance between doing nothing and blowing everything you have on one roll of the dice. Though, to be fair, if I knew about the angel wing lady, Wilson could have maybe talked me into going for broke. In the meantime, I would have been weaving mats and lacing/twining rope from the palm fronds, and maybe even tried some carving of bowls and other useful items. After all, I'd have the time, and given that they can at least be used for fires later, always useful.
Hi.
I'm looking forward. The working day will be more pleasant knowing that in the afternoon there will be a cinema screening, and this particular movie is one of my favorites. Regards!
I watch many reaction videos and this is one of my favorite movies and I’m very happy to have discovered this beautiful, funny and sensitive lady. Thank you for sharing your reaction with me. I must admit that I could listen to your voice indefinitely. You’re awesome and beautiful! ❤
The lady in the end scene was Lari White. She was a country singer, who sadly passed away in 2008. RIP

10:30 - 10:40 You say you feel like they're nose-diving, but you get a couple of glimpses of the artificial horizon on the co-pilot's screen and it looks like they're pointing about 3-5 degrees *upwards*... Assuming that's not just a mistake in the film, that would mean the pilots levelled out the descent and tried to land on the belly of the plane.
Eventually, anyone is going to choose to leave the island out of desperation. On a raft or from the mountain peak.
Great reaction. So honest and genuine. Thank you
St. Petersburg is beautiful, especially now, in the "white nights". I've been living here since I was born :)
On this island, I would have died in an hour.
That final scene with the sculptor gets me in the feels every time. Well, the whole movie does of course. Bisscute it was so great that you were so dead on with many of your observations, like that he should call his volleyball Wilson! When you got emotional all I wanted to do was give you a big hug. If you haven't already seen Captain Philips you really should. There's a scene near the end that's very interesting. The Naval Hospital Corpsman, basically a nurse who treats Hanks (Captain Phillips) was actually a real-life Corpsman and because she played it for real and Hanks acted like a real patient it's actually a powerful scene, short as it is. Keep 'em coming!
love watching you get emotional....you're a sweetheart!!
Awesome reaction and Tom Hanks knows how to make you feel sympathy for him in any movie he's in, great actor and incredible survival movie.
robert zemeckis... back to the future... forrest gump... romancing the stone.... that guy´s a legend
I was eight back then when movie released, and it's the first movie who made me cry, it's when Tom Hanks sailing nice and easy away from island (I don't understand english back then).
"Spalding" is an American sports equipment manufacturing company. It was founded by Albert Spalding in Chicago in 1876 as a baseball manufacturer, and is today headquartered in Bowling Green, Kentuck
(as a life-long sailor) I would definitely stay on the island. Just move in and enjoy the view. Maybe spend a few years building a reasonable boat that could handle some exploring and make it back. Make a compass or some form of navigation relative to your island, etc... Native polynesians explored the pacific in sailable canoes, but they had navigation figured out first.
Taking off on a boat, best case scenario is you keep heading west (with the tradewinds) until you run into Australia/NZ/some island. But it could take months at the rate a boat like that moves. You'd have to have a lock on fishing and desalinating water before leaving (or large stores), and I just think navigation is easier to figure out and implement. Once you can keep track of your island, you can go anywhere for a few days and come back. Then start stretching it out to a few weeks, etc...
OK. You're a life-long sailor. Does that imply that you are able to build a boat that is in any way bigger and better than the raft that the Tom Hanks character built - given the scarcity of building materials on that island?? I doubt it. In the end, it comes down to making a decision to either remain on the island until you are either rescued or die, or to attempt to leave and trust to hope wherever the current takes you.
@@marksterner7532 Yeah, it actually does IMO. I am intimately familiar with boat design fundamentals and most advanced concepts. I'm also extremely 'handy' and resourceful, both by nature, and additionally as a direct result of being a sailor. And these are common traits most sailors share.
You learn boat design when you learn what type of sailor you are and what type of boat you want to sail. A lot of us have bought several boats and gone through different design philosophies at various times in our life... You learn the basics of hydrodynamics and aerodynamics just by learning to sail. Sailboats don't simply get pushed by the wind... You learn about righting moments, sail to displacement ratios, ballast ratios, surface areas, buoyancy ,etc. All just from the very basics of learning to sailing.
Then add 20+ years of experience to that.
You learn to be handy and resourceful, whether you like it or not, because all boats require an insane amount of upkeep and updating, especially if you're into long-distance sailing or racing (which is about half of the sailors out there). Only wealthy people can afford to buy brand-new boats and have other people do all the work for them, and even rich people often enjoy the building and maintenance part of sailboats.
A lot of people actually build their own boats. It's way more common than you might think. A lot of people consult with designers/builders and have their boats built to their own specifications, that is also very common.
Most sailors, I would guess the large majority of them, could build a proper sailboat from scratch out of rudimentary materials and tools. And anyone who's spent any amount of time thinking about sailing long distances, has taken the time to learn the primary weather routes around the globe. Speaking of, we also learn how weather works, and fundamental navigation (not gps, although I assume that's getting more and more rare).
The Polynesians did it long before any of this stuff was common knowledge. They figured out how to sail outrigged canoes, a completely unique concept, and not a simple one, and to navigate between islands without any form of modern compass or navigation systems.
A rudimentary catamaran would be a simple enough design to be made out of trees and sticks. And given that you'd have years to build it, even if your knowledge is very basic, you'll figure it out eventually.

29:07 With either the friction method or the flint and steel both require tinder bundle and fuel source being prepped before hand. For a person who is not skilled in either, I think the flint and steel method would be easier on the hands. It is true it tends to take several attempt for the spark to take into the highly flammable material such as lint, or highly separated and dry cotton like material and getting that material I would consider the difficult aspect. The advantage of the friction method is it creates an ember, a collection of burning sawdust that will be smoking. The ember lasts longer than the sparks and can be transported to the "birds nest" of tinder to ignite. I feel to much focus is paid to the rubbing of stick to get the ember and not enough time is spent on collection of tinder and fuel, building up the flame, and sustaining the flame to the detriment of the use of the information when you need to put it in practice. I think ultimately people should take time actually practicing such survival skills that, while not being of much use in the context of civilization are of use in "emergencies" and also connect with some primal psychology while engaging with it.
I TRULY love your reactions !!! Your Heart, Your Spirit, are incredible !!!
'Lord of the Flies' 1963 The most memorable marooned on an island film.
Loved this Biss!! Yes that was what was left of a portable toilet lol. Exposure when you stay in the sun too long, that was the word you were chasing.
If it was me, I think I'd have been dead on that island in less than a week.
But if I had the chance to leave, I'd have taken it because at least I tried to get home.
It was a shock when we realise that four years have passed, then when we discover that he tried to hang himself.
There is alot of emotion when Wilson was lost, but the biggest sadness is the discovery he has lost his greatest love at home.
I had a very large hole in my stomach when he left her near the end of the film. Almost like an emptiness that could never be filled again.
I just watched this film for the first time last weekend and it was a real rollercoaster. Thanks for sharing your reaction. 👍🏻
The girl in the truck at the end was Lari White, an American Country music singer / songwriter, record producer and actress. She tragically passed away from cancer in 2018 at the age of 52. RIP
I love your accent and your perspective on movies. Your worries about getting wrinkles is crazy. It shows your interest in the movie. I give 2 thumbs up!
One the those movies that has stuck with me.
It was fun watching you experience it.
Also, you have that pure quality that comes through and makes you super cute !
You nailed it she's very honest God made abuitiful girl how was given a lot of wisdom from her parents i think shes special im sure you know that pray that God keeps her on the right path have a good one some day the world will have peace for ever ihpoe she stays on the right path have a good one
When I was younger I used to think, "yeah he probably got another Wilson!"
But now I'm like, "There is no 'other' Wilson 😑"
The meme of the last fedex box is that it contained a sat phone, knife, lighter/matches, etc. Everything that he would need to survive and get rescued sooner!
The ceremony was filmed at a real fedex hanger in Memphis using fedex employees, hanger 10 to be exact. The speaker is Fred Smith, CEO of FedEx
I have flown air Canada so many times and never have I seen a more amazing stewardess than you.
I always love your knowledge on aviation. And the way you roll your ‘R’s!
Most people watch a movie about aeroplanes and don’t understand the details. I love that you have inside knowledge. 👍
And your accent! 🫣
👍😁
Thank you so much ❤️
Right before I watched this reaction, I watched a video of a Samoan Chief at the Polynesian Cultural Center in Hawaii. He was basically doing a comedy routine, but educating people at the same time. Everything he demonstrated would have been useful for Chuck on that island: starting a fire by rubbing sticks together, opening a coconut, squeezing "milk" from a coconut. His name is Sielu Avea, for anyone interested in looking up the video. It's approximately 26 minutes long.
You made me cry watching you cry,
loved it biss.
You seem to be pretty educated when it comes to a lot of these topics! I appreciate that!
Those are Angel wings on that FedEx box. That image kept him going and was meaningful to him, hence, he never opened the box.
It is a great movie and Tom Hanks does a great job. It is crazy to see how much he changed in four years to being so helpless to being almost feral. I would risk leaving and try to get back after awhile because with how vast the ocean is there are islands out there that haven't been discovered and if I didn't try to make it out then I would be on that island till the end of my days. I would need to have hope in order to go on and I would need something to look towards. Hard to believe how much of this movie was filmed with Tom Hanks not saying a word and that most of time the crew didn't talk to him so that he could be in character mode and feel isolated.
"I'm so sad that I don't have Kelly." First time I saw this that line was devastating.
The director said the package he didn't open contained a water-proof, solar powered satellite phone
33:50 - Dentist, Dr Spalding... "Wilson" and "Spalding" were the biggest sporting goods companies in America....
28:56 you ask whether using a fire bow or makeshift flint and steel is better. The answer is absolutely a fire bow, not only can you not guarantee a spark but most of the sparks made from stronger stones don’t last long enough to catch. Although in this he is missing the most important part of the fire bow, which is the actual bow. You need a long curved stick and some kind of rope to make the bow part (for his situation I’d recommend ripping the part of the dress that isn’t mesh up in a spiral pattern from the top, creating a long and thin piece of cloth. Then I would divide it into 3 and braid it together, for the stick just try to find one). Additionally you need some kind of small shell, those are easy to find on the beach. By wrapping the braided dress rope around the smaller straight stick (the one he has in the movie) and tying it to each end of the bow you can converse your energy much more than Tom hanks did. You hold the shell on top to make a barrier between the smaller stick and your hand, then use your other to make slow and deliberate motions. The smaller stick will spin rapidly because of how the bow is setup, and you can keep up the same momentum long into the night. Starting a fire either way will take a long time, and would require a lot of prep work.
I love this movie.
I remember seeing in the theatre.
What would you do in that situation?
The ending itself is a poetic masterpiece. The crossroads...
Thank you...
Hello Miss Bisscute 🤩 great reaction as always , little dose of fun facts : 1. Director Zemeckis once mentioned , that a solar-powered watertight satelite-phone was in the last unopened Fedex package :) dont know if it was a joke or not but it is fun to think about , never give up and open all packages if it is you , surviving on remote island somewhere :DDD . 2. The screenwriter W. Broyles actually spent a week on the beach trying to survive by himself , that is the reason why it feels so realistic + brilliant acting of Tom Hanks of course :) , except the unrealistic aircraft crash scene .
3. If you want to visit that island , it is Monuriki , Fiji 🏖☀
I actually visited the island where this was filmed. They still have the help sign on the beach from the movie
I think him never opening the box represents his hope for surviving and delivering himself someday, like he does at the end.
You're born alone and you die alone. honest and down to earth, love it
Thank you
Other than having it rough at first on that island its very fortunate he didn't have dangerous wildlife or even more dangerous people to have to deal with
When asked in an interview what was in the package Chuck never opened, Robert Zemeckis replied "A solar powered satellite phone." :D
Nice reaction. I really loved it, it shows how warm person you are. The movie is also great, one of my favorites.
This is my favorite movie! I don’t care for the beginning, or the ending, but the middle part is amazing!🌱🌿
I feel the same way about The Black Stallion and the King Kong's, lol, just the parts on the island are the best, before they get back to 'civilization'.
I saw Tom Hanks in a interview with the Actors Screen something or other. He was asked by the host what he thought happen with Chuck after the final act. Tom Hanks answered, well he turn around and married that girl and had babies. (a short version of what he said but pretty much what he meant. I really enjoy your reactions, thank you.
To show how warped I am, I would have attempted to find that island, that my spiritual beginning began!! To where I felt truly alive & free!!
"Broadcasting in the blind" means the person sending the message isn't sure if he is being heard
28:51 The technique that I think would be the easiest is the bow-drill technique. But there's a guy named Greg Ovens who shows how to make the bow-drill technique even easier by putting the weight of the log on top of your spindle stick.
It basically adds weight and holds the spindle stick for you, which is much harder to do by hand.
He spends years on a deserted island, and what do his coworkers get for his welcome home party, seafood!
I caught that the first time I saw this in theaters. I was just think oh you dicks 😅
movie trivia. I read that this was originally shopped to ups to be the carrier in the movie, but they declined. saying they didnt want their customers thinking of their packages going down in the ocean. so they went to fedex and they accepted.
also they stopped filming for I think 6months for tom to lose the weight to be skinny for his time on the island where he didnt have much food.
Kelly was played by Helen Hunt, who is a fantastic TV and movie actress. She stars in “As Good As It Gets” with Jack Nicholson (One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, A Few Good Men, The Shining). It’s an excellent romance-comedy movie from 1997; well worth reacting to!
Both actors won an Oscar for their role... but there are no reactions to this film on UA-cam as yet.
Pocket watches have been around for over 300 years!! They are collected the world over,no matter the year!!!!!
