>in Castaway, Director Robert Zemeckis was asked what was in the unopened FedEx box and he said it was a solar-powered GPS-enabled satellite phone
Wow. This moron spent four years on an island instead of just opening the package and calling for help
Goes to show how dumb FedEx workers are

He already knew that though and didn't want to go back to society.
Honestly taking a few years break from society would be nice. Then you come back and have it made with interviews and book deals.
>The Agricultural Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
If he lived out there with people and developed experience that was a fraction of generational knowledge, it would have been paradise.
>inb4 just go live in the wild, gay
The System literally doesn't allow it
>just go rub sticks together and die
It's the generational knowledge piece that you always fail to understand. If your great grandparents, grandparents, parents, and entire tribe were immersed with the skills of living primitively, it's incredibly easy and fulfilling compared to going cold-turkey from a modern first-world lifestyle.
>it's incredibly easy
Source?
Everyone lived a primitive life until the iPhone was released in 2008. At least that’s what my parents tell me.
(me)
I'm trans btw, I don't know if that matters
lel, as if a troon would ever want to live primitively
>Source?
all of human history until 10000 years ago? lmao
the island had frick all resources. he was starving thin for a reason.
any more people and they would have starved. the soil would have been dogshit for planting crops and besides that he had no seeds anyway.
he HAD to escape or starve to death, which is the only reason he risked the dumb frick escape in the first place. better to die trying than starve.
That individual island sucked, granted. But the area is the Mamanuca Islands, Fiji, which is where Survivor has permanently set-up filming since 2016. It's actually a great location and has supported human settlement for over 3500 years.
>starving thin
Amerifat
>soil dogshit for planting crops
lol, imagine being a farmer instead of a hunter-fisher-gatherer
People have survived on islands with NO resources other than sand and leftover supplies from their shipwreck for years. The ocean is abundant.
>The ocean is abundant.
Abundant with human pollution and trash.
Skill issue.
>non-sequitur meme buzzword issue
It's true it would be harder today. We need to outlaw anyone who fishes in or near fish nurseries worldwide, I would even argue for putting them to death for crimes against Earth and humanity.
Sure thing greentard.
>greentard
You don't have to be a bleeding heart hippie to be against fishing in fish nurseries. It's absolutely moronic. It would be like a farmer destroying his topsoil for short-term profit. There's no good argument for it.
Also has the added benefit of starving chinese. Nature will quite literally be healing.
Teddy Roosevelt wad America's first conservationist president. He wasn't exactly left of Nader
Actually if you're fricking up lakes and oceans you're the liberal. Have you ever spent a second thinking what "conservative" means or are you just a homosexual moron?
>this question was rhetorical you homosexual moron
you'd die of mercury poising or end up moronic like abbos
>The System literally doesn't allow it
Beautifully coped, my dear sir
Feel free to prove me wrong.
Protip: the System won't allow it
He's right, though. There's not a square inch of land left on the planet that isn't claimed by a government and/or private entity. You could go as deep as possible into any wilderness as far away from civilization as you could be in any direction and you'd still be considered to be illegally squatting on land owned by someone else. Even if you buy some land, now you have to pay property tax or be forcibly removed from the land. That means you have to make money, and to do that you have to trade with people who have money. Suddenly you're not living an isolated wild life any more.
>he posted from a computer
That is the most midwit of all midwit comebacks. Luckily, I know you're smarter than that, and are just trolling. But please don't repeat such thing in normalgay company.
Do you think he ever fricked Wilson?
No, Wilson was pure.
>take the seaweed out your bussy, playa
Would a phone from the year 2000 even fit in a package that size?
I hate modern search engines.
So much for my quick "chalk wall / been here a long time" referential humor joke.
Search engines are TOTALLY fricking useless now.
Sure thing consoomtard.
>Best friend was Wilson
>Wife marries a guy named Spaulding
What did the writer mean by this?
Your post had me Rawlings on the floor, laughing.
>Wife marries a guy named Spaulding
She married the guy that fricked up his root canal. Hanks was referred to that guy by his regular dentist, who was named Spaulding. What's stupid is that based on the pictures of her kids she must have married that guy a few months after Hanks disappeared. But then we already knew women were prostitutes.
>What's stupid is that based on the pictures of her kids she must have married that guy a few months after Hanks disappeared.
Not all that surprising.
Divorces happen, grow up
Pretty disingenuous interpretation of that situation.
She had to care for her children alone for 5 years while being practically a single mom. It's only natural that she tried to find another provider for her family.
She should have drowned her children and gone on vacation like a regular woman. Honestly that part ruined the movie for me.
True: abortion is totally legit for a women who "doesn't feel like it."
It’s like when a tiger kills her cubs. Women naturally kill their offspring so they can hop back on the wiener carousel.
She started cheating on him less than half a year after news of his disappearance, with multiple men, and never told the kids. It's not what you're describing.
His plane crashed. Obviously he was dead. There is no period of morning in modren society. What is the big deal?.
Btw what is with to, hanks and soulless corporate films.
The fedex logo was on everything in this movie, and there is an entire dinner scene where they are all talking about how great fedex is.
He also made that burger king movie
>What is the big deal?
The part where she never told the kids and kept all the affairs secret. It's not like she said, "Okay, I think he's gone and I need to move on," and then tried to find a new husband. She pretended to be waiting for him while secretly having affairs and planning to divorce him if he ever came back. It's all very dishonest, duplicitous behavior and makes her out to be a huge c**t.
The water would have destroyed it
I really liked the movie but I am still struggling with the fact that tom hanks and zemeckis are pedophiles
Tom Hanks movies are so lame and overrated. So sappy and full of themselves, obsessed with trying to be clever but there's nothing clever about it. They're all so on the nose, full of fricking product placement and the director trying to elevate the work by inserting historical figures in the movie.
Every fricking Tom Hanks movie
>Hmm, I am eating this delicious McDonald's™ burger I ordered from Amazon™ with my good friend Michael Jackson, and Michael Jackson told me I was a good boy and then I taught him how to do a funny backwards walk, Mister MJ sure was a strange man, he told me something about little boys and I told him I have a little boy at home too, my good son named Coca Cola named after my favorite drink
It's all so fricking tiresome. Every fricking movie Tom Hanks is this bumbling fool genius savant who is heckin' wholesome and impresses everyone with how skilled and wholesome he is even thought he looks like a fool. Forest Gump is just the regular Tom Hanks shit cranked up to 11. Cast Away could be a Forest Gump movie, Terminal could be Forest Gump, Toy Story could be about a Forest Gump action toy
