Cast Away question

[Razerleef]

I am new to this forum and had a question about Cast Away, whats in the box that he gives that to the girl at the end? ok thats my question, hope this is the appropriate place for it.

i think it's just a artistic effect - we don't know. similar to pulp fiction.

whoa this is weird. i just got back from Best Buy and bought the collector's edition of CW. from what I heard is that there is an Easter Egg on one of the disc's and the director tells you what is inside of the box. I'll have to check it out.

I thought I read somewhere that it was a box of
Chocolates-ala-Gump. I could be wrong but it doesn't stop me from saying it.

On the easter egg, Robert Zemekis, is talking with University students about the film Cast Away. He was asked the question "What was inside the box?" and he said, that it was a cell phone, waterproof matches radar equipment and some other helpful materials that coul've helped Tom over those years on the island. LOL but he said this in a joking kind of way.

That was in a Superbowl Commerical for FedEx.

i love that movie...

I saw this movie so long ago - when it had only just been released in cinemas. I remember loving it, so I should probably buy the DVD...that's if I can get the money, LOL.

That was really funny.

I think we'll never know whats in the box, the angel wings on the outside of the box is what meant something to him. I think it gave him hope to keep surviving. It was his savior.

LOL but he said this in a joking kind of way. I thought he said it was a solar powered, waterproof cell phone. It's still funny anyway.

he drew that on the 'sail' he found as well right?

[jbailey84]

yeah i think he did. but i agree with what ILOVEKATIE said. it gave him hope for living and that he will be found...four years later.

I think so, I honestly can't remember right now.
I need to buy this film.:)

[DalOwnerx3]

Yes. The wings were on the sail.

I guess it leaves it open for a sequel - Cast Away 2: Wilson meets the Harlem Globtrotters (or something like that)

[The Moose]

wilson was a cool character. never spoke, and yet we liked him (some of us)
