In the movie Cast Away starring Tom Hanks, what was in the box with the angel wings, and why didn’t he open it?
Two answers I found when combined provide pretty great insight:(1) Answer: It's a little complicated. The angel wings show that the parcel Tom Hanks just delivered to the ranch belongs to the woman (who is an artist) in the truck. As Hanks stands in the crossroads deciding which way he will go, his looking back in the direction that she just drove off implies he will go back to her house, probably to let her know what she did for him while he was on the island (giving him hope that he could someday deliver that package) and possibly to restart his life with her (she is pretty, after all). She was married to the guy who she sent the package to in Russia, but he was cheating on her. If you notice the gateway over the entrance to her property where another package was picked up at the beginning of the movie, both her name and her partner's was on the overhead ironwork. His name has since been removed, indicating that she is now single.(2) The angel's wings (or eagle's wings) are a symbol that the person who sent the package put on the box. The sender was an artist, and the wings were HER symbol. Chuck (Hanks) never knew what they meant, either, he just knew that they made this one box special, so he never opened it to see what it contained.At the end of the movie, Chuck returns to the box to its original sender, an artist who did a lot of work with that symbol. The artist is not home, but as Chuck is leaving, a good-looking woman stops to give him directions, and as she is leaving, Chuck notices the same symbol on the back of her truck.Throughout the movie, Chuck kept a picture of Helen Hunt's character with him, in his watch and painted on the wall of the cave. That was his symbol of hope. When he returned and discovered that his hope had left him, the wings became the symbol of his FUTURE hope. We are left at the end of the movie with the belief (or hope) that Chuck follows the artist-woman back to her home and something happens there for him. You never know what the tide will bring in.(1) Cast Away questions and answers(2) On the movie Castaway, what does the angel wings on the Fed Ex Box mean?
