![]() ![]() One thing I disliked about the movie was how most of the time Chuck was stranded on the island, the directors chose to not show him during a few of the years. Adventurous movies always interest me because I like to see how some people attempt to survive and I like not knowing what is going to happen next. I liked how throughout the entire movie there was little suspense and then one huge suspenseful event of the plane crash. My general opinion on the film is that it was superb. Chuck achieves his self-actualization when his empty life is partially fulfilled when he comes back to the real world realizing he is content with his life how he is. At the end of the movie Chuck realizes how lucky he was to survive and that none of the useless objects he had before mattered to him. At the beginning of the movie, before the accident, Chuck took his entire life for granted and he did not know what he had until he lost it. Maslow’s final level is self-actualization and Chuck does reach this level at the end of the film. Although he was upset about his ex-girlfriends marriage, he chooses to leave her be and Chuck decides to move on with his life. Once Chuck returns from the island many years later, Kelly is married and has a child which causes him to be upset. Chuck also attempts to achieve his esteem needs when he returns from the island. At the end of the film Chuck’s perspective changes as he speaks to his friend/co-worker and he says that while on the island “ had power over nothing”. Before Chuck was stranded he was a very high ranked executive at his company FedEx and he believed he had power over everything. Also, Chuck’s wife, Kelly, had given him a clock with her picture inside and he keeps the clock open so he can see her face and talk to her because his lack of love and companionship.Ĭhuck’s esteem drops while he is stranded on the island for five or more years. Towards the end of the movie Chuck has become best friends with the ball named Wilson and he cries when the ball accidentally gets lost at sea. Chuck demonstrates his lack of companionship when he finds a package with a Wilson volleyball inside and he creates a face out of his blood onto the ball and he begins to talk to it. Another example of when Chuck’s safety needs are not met is when he is attempting to make a fire for his warmth and he accidentally stabs his hand with the stick and he bleeds, which is a risk of infection.Īnother level of Chuck’s Hierarchy of Needs is belongingness and love. Although his shelter is ruined, one night a dangerous storm comes and he searches for a safe place to hide he finds a cave in which he climbs into to get away from the storm. Chuck creates a shelter, his raft, to protect himself but towards the middle of the movie he attempts to go out to sea and the raft he used is impaled and he can no longer use it as shelter which restricts him of safety. Next on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is safety and Chuck is with or without safety throughout the movie. Chuck lacks many basic physiological needs while he is stranded on the island, but he attempts to meet every one of them as he adapts to the “stranded on an island life”. He attempts to create a spear which will allow him to spear fish in the ocean for him to eat. ![]() Also, one of the biggest basic needs for humans is the need for food and Chuck lacks food. Another physiological need Chuck desires is shelter, so he ties the raft he drifted on to trees to protect him from rain and other natural storms. Once Chuck becomes castaway, he goes out searching for water and he finds coconuts which contain water inside of them. Each event has an effect on Chuck’s Hierarchy of Needs.Ĭhuck’s basic physiological needs lack after he becomes stranded on the island. At the end of the film he creates a boat and he is found by a crate ship returned to his home. Chuck finds a life raft and drifts ending up on an island. As the plane goes through a thunderstorm, something mysteriously happens to it and everyone including Chuck goes down in the plane. Chuck leaves his girlfriend, Kelly, and boards the plane unknowing that it was destined to crash a few hundred miles later. Since he is a high ranked FedEx executive he chooses to travel on an airplane with his packages to resolve a problem in Malaysia. In the beginning of the movie Chuck has a high self-esteem and he believes he has power over everything. In the award winning film, Cast Away, Tom Hanks stars as the main character Chuck who becomes stranded on an island after a horrific plane crash. ![]()
