So, at the end of the Tom Hanks movie Cast Away...

No he definitely went after her. He looks in her direction last.
Also, the movie literally begins with that very same woman mailing a package to Russia.
Like, you can look at the entire movie as Hank's character finding her. That it was cosmically foretold or some shit. It's not ambiguous at all.
Thats too deep for a film that says you can find the best friend you'll ever have in a volleyball
Yeah, and the line immediately preceding that sequence is something like "I have to keep breathing because the sun will rise and who knows what the tide could bring?" Like it brought her package to him on the island.
That and his hint of a smile looking in the woman's direction pretty much spells it out. At the very least that encounter gives him hope.
I like to think he followed her.
Also, Castaway is on HBO Max :) Watching it right now.
"I. Have made fire!"

That's my take also.
I disagree. It's easy to forget that Zemeckis was a really good director in his prime.
Such a fucking beautiful film. Zemeckis peaked with this; it is his most accomplished masterpiece.
That ending monologue where he's talking to his friend with ice in his glass gets me every damn time. I'm always crying at this movie. So affecting.
Do not question the perfection that is that ending.

It's also strongly hinted at via the sign above her ranch that she becomes single while he's on the island.
But this was a very average film carried by Tom Hanks. Outside of that the film has people poking fun at it more than anything else.
Obviously he's going to try and meet up with her again.
I mean he told her his name, and he left a note on her porch with his name. She's gonna see that. Put two and two together. He'll probably be heading back and they'll run into each other and start talking again. It's a typical happy ending. Also as said above, she's obviously divorced now what with one of the names missing from the sign.
My best friend was obsessed with this movie back when it came out. He dragged me to the theater to see it. When it came out on DVD and appeared in FYE a few days early (Before street date) he bought it excitedly. He worked at BlockBuster and got me an antenna topper of Wilson that I STILL have today on my car. In fact if I ever get a car without an antenna I don't know what I'll do. He's pretty much part of my car now.
It's an okay film I guess. I haven't seen it since. But I remember a bit from it.

The Inception spinning top ending always seemed slightly imperfect to me since the top is clearly wobbling, something tops only do when they're about to stop spinning.
He doesn't. He goes to give Kelly her watch back and she surprises him with the car. He asks the cab to wait for him when he gets there.
That's because people fixated way too much on the "OMG IS HE STILL DREAMING!?!?!?" aspect of it. He didn't look back to find out - because it doesn't matter.
One recently that came up between my fiancee and I - Rose dies at the end of Titanic, right? And the very final scene (her back on the Titanic, young and with Jack) is her version of afterlife? My fiancee always thought it was just a dream, though the majority of people I've talked to took away the "she died and goes to heaven" ending.
Yeah. And I suppose if the top didn't wobble, people would be saying the opposite, that clearly it was not going to stop spinning.
It was a great reaction in the theater when the film ends with the cut to black from the top.
I don't know. I was surprised by how good it was, when I finally actually watched it a few years ago, after more than a decade of being exposed to memes and jokes about it. Looks like it was critically very well received as well, which I again only found out after seeing it.
I actually came in here thinking this would be about Avengers Endgame and that one track at the end of the film.
Nah, you can say that about almost every other Robert Zemeckis film from the 90s onward, but not this one. Hanks did make it stand out, but the concept and screenplay themselves were exceptional and daring (it very easily could've been a snorefest and/or unintentionally hilarious).
did you really say a film that has 1 named actor in like 95% of the film, carried by said actor?
if i wasn't feeling so lazy right now now but i would find the biggest no shit picture and post it
At the very least he sees a way to move forward.
lol remember the fucking trailer for this ruining the ENTIRE movie?

Yeah she's dead, finally joining Jack and the rest of the Titanic passengers at the bottom of the Atlantic.
