CAST AWAY Clip - "Setting Sail" (2000) Tom Hanks

And i noticed chuck went from slight pudgy to bone thin in this classic film

what are you doing out here son ?

I love the theme music for this movie.

Not often mentioned but the whale staying with him until he is rescued likely kept any sharks in the area away from him.

Plenty of fish in the sea

I love survival movies . Now days they make satellite phones and satellite text messagers. If you want one make sure it’s off the iridium net work . The garmin inreach series is perfect

This is the feeling when you leave your comfort zone. Looking back to the island without knowing what the future prepares for him.

Wilson had one job: hang on. He couldn't even do that correctly. Some friend...

When he looks back at the island, is the first time in the movie that there is any music...brilliant and powerful!

Excellent movie and direction

We did it Wilson ❤ the most beautiful line in entire movie ❤

I remember seeing him do an interview, obviously, LONG before the movie's release with his scraggly hair and beard and thinking WTF?! 😮

The Whale Is Like.. " What The Fucccccccccc Are You Doing Here "?

me and the boys going cargo

Now that I have grown, watching this brave man crest that wave and stare at the island that was his home for many days. After all these years, I understand.

Makes you wonder why he picked a bad day with high waves and dark water to launch his escape raft. Makes no sense.

When he looks back at the island with a bittersweet expression. It saved him, but it was also killing him. To decide to risk it and get off the safety of the island after it served him for all those years...sometimes I find myself looking back at my own island as I get back into that rough water on my journey of growth and I have the same look in my eyes.

Im pretty sure when I watched this movie for the 1st time it gave me my base anxieties lol.

If only he could have done this 3 years before…..

He didn't need Wilson. All he needed was Jesus.

He lasted 1500 days!
I wouldn't have lasted a week!

Vorstellung von Nerven Midetion

This part and the ending where he talks to the lady that sent the package are my favorite scenes on the movie. I live the boyish demeanor he has from being on his own for so long too. It was like a rebirth and maybe he'll be less of a jerk and give his new girlfriend more of his time instead of his job.

The part that he was looking for the last time at the island always gets to me. It reminds me of my brother’s passing 20 years ago, him leaving this World but I know I will see him again…

Was the whale supposed to be real and not in his dreams? Because that was the worst CGI I've ever seen.

such a metaphor. sometimes we have to take huge risks into the unknown. leave our island of familiarity and set sail in order to grow

T. Hanks, Rotschild family. I prefere not to remember what that ball with blood stains means..

The eye of the whale gets me every time...

So kelly has a baby that is 3 years old...he was on the island for 4 years which means 3 months after he crashed on the island she got knocked up by the dentist.
So much for mourning.

Great scene, love the whale bit. Maybe this is ignorant of me, but I feel like with 100% time devotion, over the course of years you could build yourself a really fly ship. Not a dozen logs tied together. But like did he never think to build a band saw? No but seriously you could build yourself a reasonable vessel with years of focused labour

Like a tent in the back yard during a storm....fun - getting wet

CRIMINAL that he didn't win his 3rd Oscar for this brilliant performance

CAST AWAY 2 will show him rowing back to the island in 2023

Not a sailor but why not paddle out when seas are calm and waves low?
Or is it that the break there always has big waves?

No way that little piece of plastic siding would push him over that huge wave

His expression, at the time of looking back at the island, is awesome.

I like how that whale just looks at tom Hanks thinking " what's going on man, what are you doing out here in the middle of the ocean?

This IS what a beach launch is like. Its so daunting. Once the wave passes and you see how low the water around you is, you can't believe that you haven't appeared to move an inch. And there is always that final wave that makes you question your launch. But once you pass it, it's over. It's easier to be a mile out at sea than it is to be 100 yards from shore.

As a boater, he's a bit insane going out with just two oars, even given his limits. You always want multiple means of locomotion. He has two: oars and sail. He really wants 3 - i.e. another back up. That said, having two methods of propelling himself is great given his situation.

The only other thing I question is the size of his boat: perhaps a bit wider and longer... but then he has to row the thing.

A fun side note: when the whale appears its easier to see a connection between this movie and Forest Gump. It's a Forest Gump jogging moment.

Interesting how quickly he regained his sanity after being stranded 4 so long

This was Tom's last good movie IMO.

Truly one of Tom Hanks best films, Hard to believe he DID’NT win the Oscar for this one

Jack Dorsey settin sail!😂
