Hanks was incredible in this. One of the greatest films ever.

[Crispy]

What an incredible story, movie and performance by one of the absolute best of the top-shelf actors in Tom Hanks.

[bobbybaucom]

If you think this is a fantastic story, please allow me to relate to you a real one. In 1704, a Scottish sailor named Alexander Selkirk, sailing on an English privateer, had a disagreement with his captain and told the captain that he didn't think the ship was seaworthy and asked to be put ashore on an island where they'd stopped off the coast of South America. The captain put him in a boat with two sailors who rowed him ashore with just a few supplies. He lived alone on the island for over four years before an English ship happened to stop at the island for wood and fresh water and found him. On the island were lots of goats and other animals, and a lot of plants, perhaps from ship wreaks in past years, so he had food to eat, although he had to chase it down. As a result of all the exercise he got from chasing the animals for food and climbing around the island, he was in remarkedly good shape when he was found. It's an interesting story and there's a book about his adventures. After he'd been back in England for a short period, he longed to be back on his island again but never made it back.

I remember seeing this in theaters with my family during the holiday season I believe, it was an experience for sure. I loved this film.

[folarinosibodu]

Whenever I watch the beach portion of this movie, I feel a tremendous sense of peace. Maybe it's because there isn't loud noises, endless rapid cuts, people talking rapidly.

[NTAD]

"Well this beach isn't so bad. The last one I was on had blood, guts and bullets everywhere."

[brettfavreify]

What I admired about this movie was just how practical and methodical Tom Hanks' character was.
First things first.
What's important now?

[kevinburke]

This movie is all about movement sounds. I love it

[nataliep]

We seriously need more 'Stranded on an island" movies!

[ajd]

It's difficult watching this clip knowing that he is probably just thinking to himself the same thing anyone would think: "This is kind of beautiful. I wonder how long until a helicopter comes and gets me? I'm just going to enjoy this sunset". Knowing that eventually (spoiler alert) no rescue ever comes makes it hauntingly beautiful in a way.

[IAMTHECHEYBABY]

this will forever be one of Tom Hank’s best movies EVER.

[MrJustonemorevoice]

In all seriousness he got lucky with that island.
Fish, coconuts, fresh water source, etc.

[jamessm]

One of the things they don’t show about island beaches is the flies.

[charliedallachie]

My favorite is when the coconuts fall and he’s like “hey!?” 🌴

[jennifersman]

Truly one of Tom Hanks very best films

With all due respect to Russell Crowe, Hanks should’ve won the Oscar for this

[KevinCantWait]

It takes a lot of dedication to play a role like this. Just the mere fact that you have to live on an island shows what actors, like Tom Hanks, are willing to do. Most wouldn’t be able to handle it.

[davidchristopherelstob]

One of the uninhabited islands of Fiji, like the movie Tom got coral cuts which turned sceptic, he ended up in hospital for two weeks, with blood poisoning, put back production, my favourite movie of mr hanks .❤❤❤

[wz]

I'd love it if in the last scene when he delivers her the package she says "At last, my satellite phone has arrived."

[Bigbankroll]

The first thing he does is collects packages like he's still at work. 😂

[javspirata]

its all about the true meaning of time, he was just worried about the strict lapses of time in each delivery. the movie shows how unpredictable is time, time is invaluable when our goal is accomplished in shorts amount of time bur is also invaluable when is getting a great objective. Its all about perspective, just perfect!
