Use it on your sticky rice and think of home. I’m enclosing some salsa, the verde you like. I can’t begin to tell you how much that hurt. Chuck studies the letter, which reads, “You said our life was a prison. Instead, the box contains two jars of homemade green salsa and a letter. Inside the box is no satellite phone, no seeds, no GPS, or water purifying system. Then, he carefully cuts the package open with a stone knife. He imitates the design by trying to unsuccessfully draw it in the dirt with a stick. Instead of tearing it open recklessly like the others, he pauses a moment-studying the art on the package. In the script, the Angel Wing Package caught Chuck’s eye. Though Chuck does not end up opening the package in the movie, in the script he did. But that isn’t the point and Chuck wouldn’t have learned a lesson. This is the unopened package that Chuck finally returns at the end of the film.įor 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. Bettina is sending a package to her husband in Russia, but this package makes its way back onto the FedEx plane Chuck was on, perhaps because the husband issued a return-to-sender. The side story follows a woman named Bettina and her cheating husband in Russia. The package by the end of the film connects story A to story B. The B story is carried throughout the film (literally) by the unopened package, which serves as a Red Herring to the real meaning of the film.

The final shots of the movie reveal that Chuck still has the unopened package, which he returns to the sender with a note that says “this packaged saved my life, thank you.” Chuck admits to how sad he is about losing Kelly, but he is grateful she was not on the island with him. This devastates Chuck, who feels he has lost her all over again. Kelly had thought she lost Chuck, and she moved on, got married, and had a child. He desperately reaches out his hand, and then suddenly, he is back home with all the conveniences of modernity. Just when all hope seems to be lost, a container ship floats by past Chuck. When Chuck loses Wilson at sea, it is like he has lost his last remaining attachment to his old life.
That is when the tide brought in a ripped piece of door from a porta-potty and gave Chuck the idea of using it as a sail. But soon after contemplating suicide, Chuck accepted his fate and continued surviving despite all the odds. The package, locket, and volleyball also serve as symbols for Chuck holding onto control and his life prior to the crash. Chuck even created a noose at one point off-screen. The thought of one day being able to return the package gives him something to look forward to. RELATED: The Shining: What Happened To Danny In Room 237? Like Chuck’s locket with a picture of Kelly, and his volleyball he personified with the name Wilson, this package gave Chuck a reason to continue living and not end his life like he had been thinking of doing. Chuck opens all of the boxes to find anything useful-all except for one box marked with orange angel wings and blue loops. On the island, FedEx boxes wash up on shore.
Instead, he is the sole survivor of a plane crash and drifts onto an island in the middle of nowhere, off course from the plane’s assumed route.
