![]() There was no power on the island, so Hanks said they stopped filming before it got dark, and he recalled the sun setting behind him “pondering all that we had shot. ![]() And we would head out, and for 50 minutes the sun would be rising behind us on the open sea, and we would be heading towards the island of Monuriki, which is where we shot.” And then I would swim out to the special fishing boat … get on with the pilot and the mate and one of the guys from the crew. The sky wasn’t even yet to turn blue, in the East, and I would make a cup of coffee then I would stroll down the gravel road to where the pier was. The house would be quiet - everybody would be in bed. “The sun was not yet up in the East, and I would get up wearing nothing but a Speedo and a T-shirt. Hanks then shared a funny story about how he started his days while working on the film. We were off in Fiji on two different occasions… There was nothing but adventures every single day, every single night.” “I mean we were out in the middle of the ocean just - you know - trying to grab shots. Hope this helps you decide.“We had just bold adventures when we were making that movie,” Hanks explained. Now that's what I call a great movie experience! The overall film came together so well, I was completely captivated in suspended disbelief throughout the movie. As part of that effect, Tom Hanks lost about 40-50 pounds, from the first part of the movie (when he first washes on shore), to depict what Chuck Noland would look like after spending years cast away on a diet which primarily consists of coconuts, fish, and crabs. He literally breathes life into this movie and gives it the credibility that is crucial to a storyline of this nature. It is through Tom Hanks' phenomenal performance as an actor that makes you believe in the story. I think that acting by yourself with little or no dialog can be much more difficult than acting as part of a cast with emotion dynamic and dialog. Chuck's fate on the island becomes certain, so the next four years focus on his life on the island and his attempts to return to civilization.įor a good majority of the the film, Tom Hanks is the sole actor on-screen. Unwilling to entertain the distinct possibility that he may die lonely on the island, he uses his systematic and analytic engineering background to craft up a plan to conquer the elements and attempts a daring escape to the open ocean in the hopes of being rescued. But as the years roll by (yes, years!), Chuck realizes that he won't be rescued as long as he stays on the island. )Only a person with sheer determination, hope, and the iron will to survive can make it as long as Chuck has on the island. (In contrast to Tom Hanks, this "Wilson" character has got to be the lowest-paid supporting actor as Chuck's on-screen companion, ha, ha. In trying to keep his sanity and satisfy his basic human need for companionship, Chuck takes on a new friend, "Wilson" (yes, as in the major sports equipment manufacturer), a volleyball that washes up in one of the FedEx boxes that survived the crash. The movie makes you feel as though you're cast away with Chuck, as he struggles to survive day to day and as he deals with life in solitude. There, Chuck slowly comes to the realization that he may not be rescued any time soon. Miraculously, Chuck is the sole survivor of the horrific plane crash and finds himself washed up on an isolated tropical island. On a next trip to the FedEx field office, Chuck and the crew go down in a plane crash in a bad storm in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The Cast Away cast who had put their blood, sweat, and tears into making this masterpiece consisted of Tom Hanks as the lead character-Chuck Noland, Helen Hunt. This is exemplified by Chuck's explanation of the essence of time to his FedEx® Moscow-based workers as he's trying to streamline the Moscow office operations: One of the most, if not the most, iconic parts of 'Cast Away' is Chucks relationship with Wilson, the volleyball named after Wilson Sporting Goods, the company the ball originates from. Tom Hanks is Chuck Noland, a FedEx® operational systems engineer and a "type-A" personality who is dedicated to his work. AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD HIS JOURNEY BEGINS
