Sex/Nudity: We see parts of Chuck's bare butt - mainly the side or his thighs,īecause of the homemade loin cloth he has to wear on the island. It could have probably been PG and would have probably snagged our 4 star rating.
#WHERE DID THEY FILM CAST AWAY MOVIE#
Warrant the movie at least a 3.5 out of 4, but hold back the half a point for that before-mentioned content. Due to its great story and amazing acting, I have no choice but to It was mainly PG-13 due to the blood and disturbing material (the dead body, the plane crash),īut had very little if any of anything else really offensive in it. In summary, I was really impressed by this movie. The plane crash sequence is really intense and realistic. It isn't too often you see a movie this good.Īnother warning to some- if you have a fear of flying or have had any bad experiences before, you may not want to see this film. It's a great story with great acting and I was really impressed. Although it's not a film to watch over and over (yet I would like to see it again), Trickle of blood on his hand which he uses to repaint the face on the volleyball. Washes up on shore, we see the partially decomposed face under the water and a little bit when he finds it. To remove may be unsettling to people - like me - who hate any kind of teeth problems). When he tries to remove it, a tiny bit of blood comes out of his mouth (his attempt

Later we see he has a pretty infected tooth. He gets a smear of blood on a volleyball (by accident) and later uses it make a face on it. While trying to make fire, he cuts his hand pretty badly on a stick and It's relatively bloody, and the next day he wakes up and the wound is pretty bloody/gory, but While Chuck is trying to escape the island on a raft, he falls off and cuts his leg reallyīadly on some coral. Language is kept to a minimum withĢ "s" words and 1 "G-D**n." There's no sexual material and the only even slight nudity is that Chuck wheresĪ self-made loin cloth at times and you see most of his thigh and parts of his butt, but nothing ever explicit. We spent a few years on a deserted island alone.Ĭontent of the film basically fell mainly under that violence/blood categories. We're so used to being surrounded by people day in and day out that we'd all have a rude awakening if Another thing taken for granted is human companionship. Our shoes to flashlights and toilet paper. We take for granted our most basic necessities- from Realizing how much we take for granted each day. It's funny, it's visually exciting, it's touching, and it's very sad. Interesting story and an interesting well-rounded character who often has little to no dialog for a good Tom Hanks delivers an amazingly phenomenal acting performance, creating an I heard some critics say you will leave the theater in awe, and I found they were right. Movie Reviews (Main) > Movie Reviews (Main).Indie Reviews (Main) > Indie Reviews (Main).The volleyball was sold at auction for $18,500 to the ex-CEO of FedEx Office, Ken May. Whether this particular ball saw any screen time or not we don’t know. However, one of the original Wilson volleyball props did survive. Instead, that particular volleyball found its way to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, or at best, floating around in the Pacific Ocean somewhere. Unfortunately, it appears the final Wilson didn’t end up in a museum, memorabilia store, or in an auction. I don’t think we did many takes of that scene,” he said. Robert Miller, the property master, remembers the filming well: In the final scenes of the movie, one of the balls was weighed down with weights in order for it to sink beneath the waves. However, many of these were discarded because of errors in the finger painting. Where Is Wilson Today?Īs with most movies, numerous versions of the prop existed, for ‘Wilson’, twenty were created. It was on the island that Chuck created his companion ‘Wilson’, using his bloody hand on a volleyball that he found. The other islands were edited out in the movie to make it look like Tom Hanks was truly stranded. This 0.4 square km volcanic island is surrounded by coral and various other islands. Most of Castaway was filmed on Monuriki, an uninhabited island situated off the coast of Viti Levu in the Fiji Islands, South Pacific Ocean. But whatever happened to ‘Wilson’ after the movie finished filming? His good friend ‘Wilson’ was by his side for much of the movie. Anybody who has seen the 2000 movie ‘Castaway’ will know Tom Hanks (Chuck Noland) didn’t survive alone.
