    This movie was filmed in two parts, with a one year break in between for Tom Hanks to get into shape for the rest of the movie.

    I saw this in the theater. One of the saddest moments is actually when he leaves the island. That was his home for 5 years. The initial leaving would actually be hard to do. Any break from your norm even marooned on an island would be hard. Being in the military and being deployed overseas is hard. When it’s time to rotate back, it’s a weird feeling, happy and sad. It only last until I’m in the air, but it’s there.

      Absolutely, I'm often surprised how, even on something a short as a two week holiday, we mentally shift to the lifestyle changes of where we're visiting, embracing the new eperiences and routines, etc. and how strange and conflicting it feels to come home. You tend to reinvent yourself as someone who fits this new environment and, as you've said, it must be extremely wrenching for military personnel or Hank's character to leave the familiarity and relative safety of 'home'.

      He had to leave the island if he wanted any chance of getting back to civilization. But at the same time you know that if you leave the island that you may not find anyone to rescue you. Since you're risking being stranded at sea. When that cargo ship found him he was probably within a few days of dying if he didn't get rescued.

    Tom Hanks gave an interview with Charlie Rose about the origins of the story - one large inspiration was an interview Louis L'Amour gave where the interviewer knew he'd been shipwrecked on a small island in WW2 and kept asking about his experience, lost in the romanticism of it. And Mr. L'Amour finally said essentially 'look lady, those were the worst days of my life I thought I was going to die there.' And Tom said that her inability to get beyond her Robinson Crusoe romanticism he found an interesting perplexity.

    The title of the movie "Cast Away" has 2 meanings. 1: he was a castaway on a random deserted island in the middle of nowhere, 2: the title name was split into 2 separate words "cast away" meaning thrown away, got rid of, etc etc. So he was a castaway but due to the events throughout the film he was also cast away.
    The package with the wings was a symbols to Tom Hanks character's humanity. So he didn't open it to give him a reason to live and to somehow get home. That's sorta what he said in the note when he delivered it to the house. Some say there was a loving note to the woman's "husband" with some of her husband's favorite foods in it and the note was saying something about here is a taste of home untill you return or something like that.
    Some say there was a waterproof satellite phone in it with a full charge but no one will ever know

    It's pretty amazing that Tom Hanks started in comedy. I first remember seeing him in the TV show Bosom Buddies, where two guys pretend to be women to get an apartment they could afford. He then went on to comedic films like Splash, Bachelor Party, The Money Pit, Dragnet, and Big. In the 90's he started doing more dramatic movies like A League of Their Own and Sleepless in Seattle, leading to his Oscar win for Philadelphia. From there he was a megastar.

    I remember some people hating the ending, but I loved it. Sometimes people are in a situation where they realistically can't see anything to hope for or look forward to, and they give up, but the only way you'll have any chance of finding something to look forward to is to hang in there and keep plugging away at life. After I had open heart surgery, recovery was one of the most unrelentingly miserable times in my life, and considering the residual pain from the surgery and the long term limitations from the heart damage that necessitated the surgery, it was hard to stay motivated. However, because I can't sleep normally anymore, I went out before dawn to get my daily walk out of the way and ended up at Guatemalan bakery which was the only thing that was open as the sun came up. I bought some pan dulche, and because it looked like clear weather after several days of rain, I said to the bakery "It's looks like it's going to be a good day." He smiled and said "Any day you wake up is a good day." There's a lesson there.

    Apparently, this was also largely Tom Hanks' idea for a film: to do the "Stuck on an Island" plot, but make it super-real and serious. He also said his biggest mistakes was to diet largely on cheeseburgers for the weight gain at the beginning, saying it was the "sickest" he'd ever been. The year long hiatus was not only to get his weight down, but to grow out his hair and beard naturally (so that's no fake wig and beard; that's all Grizzly Hanks)

    Human beings evolved to recognize "agency" (living things) in the natural world because those things posed the greatest potential threat to us. If we hear a strange noise in the forest, we react VERY differently if we think it's a living thing (as opposed to a coconut). It's so instinctual that we react before even realizing what we're reacting to. This is one reason why humans began recognizing agency in inanimate things like the sun, clouds, the oceans, i.e. early mythical and religious stories.

      It also explains a lot of other methods of pattern recognition that are going on in our brains.

If I had made a fist and some of the blisters popped then the oil in them would’ve caused the reaction to spread to any skin it touched. It was painful, itchy, and annoying as hell and I was all drugged up on medications to keep the reaction from getting any worse or causing my immune system to overreact. I think that was last time I had poison ivy. After that I got a lot more careful about looking out for it and I’ve pretty much avoided it entirely since then. But, it certainly made for a memorable experience when watching this movie for the first time.

Best way to describe it is to imagine a flathead screwdriver pushing up in-between your teeth until it comes out your cheek. I didn't sleep for 3 days the first time while waiting to get into the dentist, and I could only pass out from the pain. You damn near go crazy. I would have pulled my tooth out with pliers myself had I not had the foresight to realize the crown would give way long before the root. Tooth pain is serious and don't blame anyone for doing crazy stuff to end it.
