Cast away..... yes, that darn package again....
.....and maybe a real clue as to what actually might’ve been in it, other than what the parody the Super Bowl commercial said about the sat phone, fishing line, yadda, yadda, yadda as a joke.
But OK, call me crazy but after watching the movie again here while back, it just now finally freakin’ dawned on me that the inspirational package that moves ole Chuck to keep on keepin’ on, has to be another package that Bettina had sent out [that we don’t see] because of her angel wings logo on the box which would suggest that at the end of the movie, he’s not necessarily delivering the package, he’s more/less returning to sender. Was this another package sent to the cowboy in Russia?
The reason I’m asking all this is because I also watched a video somewhere that said that according to a supposed third draft of the movie, Chuck actually does open the package and in it he finds divorce papers, two bottles of green salsa and a letter from Bettina asking her husband to come back....
Now, I know that just because of what that video said, that is a possibility but since this is a story- and the writer can write anyway they see fit, since this package-opening scene of the mystery package wasn’t included in the final script, could this actually be closure to what was most likely in that box that he returned to her?
