Chuck opens all of the other boxes he finds, but he never opens that one; he seems to leave it untouched with a sense of reverence. 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.
He was determined to make sure it got delivered just as he was determined to survive and get back to civilization. Success in one meant success in the other. While Zemeckis has joked there was a waterproof satellite phone in it, the real answer from the script is, no joke, salsa verde. Its a care package with a note imploring Bettina's the artist husband naked cowboy to come back and spice up their life like the salsa. Answer: The package he got had divorce papers in them.
He signed them and then placed them back in the package for return to her. Answer: In the third draft of the movie there's a scene where Chuck opens the package and finds salsa and a note from the woman in the beginning asking her husband to come home. It's also revealed that she doesn't mind that he never got the package. Pretty unsatisfactory, probably why it was cut and left a mystery. Question : Was the whale in the night scene in the raft an illusion?
I only ask because it faded away instead of going under the water. Is this intentional or just bad special effects? Answer: I noticed this too. He is really seeing a whale. This scene shows what is coming as a whale wakes him up in time to see the ship.
As for the special effects, that is still up in the air. The whale is he's guided salvation to being rescued when the cargo ship goes past waking him up with water sprays. Question : What caused Chuck's gum to swell? Answer: He had a bad tooth that he had delayed getting fixed, and an abscess developed in his gums. Question : About an hour in, when he is opening the Fed Ex packages, we see him open a divorce decree and set it aside.
I assumed this was in relation to the package picked up towards the beginning in Russia at the cheating husband's place, and we see at the end the artist girl is apparently now divorced. Yet he supposedly never opened her package. Wouldn't it have been the signed the divorce papers? Answer: The director joked on the DVD commentary about there being a solar-powered satellite phone in the last package. The joke being that if Hanks had just opened that last package, he would have been immediately rescued by calling for help.
However, the comment was only in jest, and was never meant to be taken seriously. It was never shown what was in that last package. Answer: The divorce decree in the package that Chuck opens is not from the woman in Texas who was married to the cheating husband in Russia. I watched the YouTube clip, and the name on the divorce papers is someone named Michael Street, who lives in Jakarta, Indonesia, and is unrelated to the story.
The couple from Texas are named Dick and Bettina Petersen. Question : In the beginning of the movie, Chuck gives Kelly a small golden gift. He tells her not to open it until New Years. What was in it? Answer: It was an engagement ring. Chuck was going to propose to her when he returned. Question : I have a problem with the scene where Chuck makes a fire by rubbing sticks.
While it is possible to make a fire by the rubbing sticks, don't you need to run the stick against bamboo for the trick to work? Answer: The point of the scene is that he has no idea what he's doing. Chuck is using the fire plough method. A very established method.
This and the fire saw method probably resulted in early sailors bringing back stories of. Answer: You can use any wood although technically bamboo is a grass and not wood , it just should be very dry wood. Actually, I looked up how to make a fire by rubbing sticks because asking this question, and I misread it as suggesting using bamboo.
It was actually suggesting using coconut wood. Question : If the package got delivered to the cheating husband, which we see in the scene where he receives it shirtless wearing a cowboy hat, then how did that package end up back on a plane headed to the USA and crash and wash up on beach?
Wouldn't that package have been opened by said cheating husband? Answer: I just re-watched the movie, and realise my previous answer is wrong. Here is what happened. She appears to regularly send out packages via FedEx, possibly to customers of her artwork.
When driver picks it the package, she tells him she will have another one for pick up on Thursday. That, presumably, is the package that is aboard the doomed FedEx plane Chuck is on and the one he returns to her four years later. But why should that parcel return to her? It "shouldn't" do anything.
If the package raywest is referring to is in fact a second package to whoever, really, that just so happened to be on Chuck's plane, there wasn't actually a reason to return it, he just chose to return it to the sender if he ever made it off that island because that package was his saving grace and his will to get back home. That's the only reason he never opened it and why he returned it just so he could thank them by saying it saved his life. Answer: It appears the package he received contained the divorce papers, which he would have signed and then returned to the woman in the U.
Might be possible! And maybe for the reason Bettina Peterson never got them she just took of her ex-husbands name at the ranch to just live free for herself again after her husband cheated on her.
Question : Considering that Chuck had been on the island for four years, would he actually still have all of his teeth or would he have lost them all? From all the things that he saw in the packages that he opened, not one of them had anything to keep his teeth clean. Answer: Even without dental care for four years, it would take far longer for a generally healthy person to lose their teeth if they had previously maintained proper oral hygiene.
Chuck's diet was a factor little or no sugar and he could also fashion a primitive toothbrush or toothpick from materials on the island. Ancient humans had relatively little tooth decay. It was after sugar was introduced into the European and later American diet in the 11th century, that dental problems started becoming more prevalent. Answer: It's possible that he could keep his teeth, provided he doesn't eat too many sugars.
I can't begin to tell you how much that hurt. I don't want to lose you. I'm enclosing some salsa, the verde you like. Use it on your sticky rice and think of home. Then come home to me. We'll find the spice in our lives again. I love you always. Despite the salsa and letter not making it into the movie , there are other suggestions that the package had to do with Bettina's failing marriage as the winged FedEx box she ships at the start of the movie is sent away and delivered to a man and woman.
This man opens it and says, "It's from my wife," to the woman, suggesting Bettina's husband is having an affair. A FedEx commercial during the Super Bowl parodied the final scene of the film, in which Chuck returns a package to its sender. In this version, the woman answers the door, and when Chuck asks what was in the box, the woman replies: "Just a satellite phone, GPS locator, fishing rod, water purifier, and some seeds.
Just silly stuff. In fact the third draft of Cast Away that has a few differences from the finished movie reveals that the package contained two bottles of salsa verde:. The package, however, is exactly the same as in the finished movie: the same angel wings, the same woman at the beginning, and the same insane resolution to deliver it no matter what.
And then, on his 1,th day on the island, Chuck goes "eh, what the hell" and opens the box. So what's inside? Two bottles of salsa verde.
Also, a note from a woman named Bettina begging her husband to come back, apparently hoping some spicy condiments will do the trick. Chuck looks at the bottles, reads the note, then puts everything back into the package and continues carrying it with him. It makes absolutely no difference.
