For Chuck, he is casting away his need for control over his life, and he has to learn to accept life as it comes instead of fighting against the tide. The unopened package serves as a device to bring Chuck and Bettina together, as she was perhaps his soulmate after all.
It is just a shame it took a disaster to bring them together. The final shot mirrors the opening shot as Chuck stands at the crossroad, signifying his freedom of being able to choose his next move. For fans who insist on knowing what is actually in the package, many have theorized that it was a satellite phone—which could have been used to get Chuck off the island quicker. Though Chuck does not end up opening the package in the movie, in the script he did.
Instead of tearing it open recklessly like the others, he pauses a moment—studying the art on the package. He imitates the design by trying to unsuccessfully draw it in the dirt with a stick. Then, he carefully cuts the package open with a stone knife.
Inside the box is no satellite phone, no seeds, no GPS, or water purifying system. Instead, the box contains two jars of homemade green salsa and a letter.
Use it on your sticky rice and think of home. Then come home—to me. I love you. In , his pilot received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series, and for the entire run of the show Lieber was listed in the credits.
In January , one of the three original Wilson volleyballs featured in the film was sold on an online auction. While attending a hockey game in New York City in February , Hanks was being featured on the big screen when someone suddenly tossed him a Wilson Cast Away ball. Hanks held onto the ball and smiled at his long lost pal. The film centered around beauty pageant contestants whose plane crashed on an island. No distributor will pick it up.
BY Garin Pirnia. Tom Hanks in Cast Away Tom Hanks didn't want to tell a standard story with Cast Away. Cast Away screenwriter William Broyles Jr. The entire theme of Cast Away comes from two words.
FedEx was cool with the free product placement in Cast Away —and the plane crash. Tom Hanks almost died while filming Cast Away. Tom Hanks went through several different ending scenarios for his character. Tom Hanks felt that the plane crash was the "best thing that ever happened" to Chuck in Cast Away. According to the film's script, the package contains salsa, which is meant to "spice up" the relationship it pertains to. But audiences never find that out within the movie itself.
And that's because, in an ongoing situation that seems utterly hopeless, humans have to find certain things within their own cerebral walls to keep them going.
Just like his pocket watch from Kelly Helen Hunt , her Christmas gift to him with his favorite picture of her inside, Chuck uses the FedEx package with the wings as a symbol of what he's fighting to stay alive for, to get back to. In the case of the package, it's a much more abstract concept, since this Tom Hanks character doesn't even truly know what's in it.
But not opening it gives him hope that, one day, he'll be able to return it. He'll be able to thank the sender for what they thought was just a small piece of art to decorate the package with for fun, but that ultimately kept him alive through his agonizing time on the island.
