Reply to comment by Thedrunner2 in The last hour of Cast Away is devastating and beautiful by PastMiddleAge

Different things grab me every time but yes the scene you’re talking about hit me hard when I watched it for the first time in the theater 22 years ago. Love that “the sun will rise” quote. Great scene.

To me the little thing that breaks me is when Helen Hunt, so matter-of-factly says "I only have 2% not half and half, that that's what you like", remebering such a mundane little detail about the type of milk he used to have in his coffee. To me that's love in its purest form and breaks me every single time. She held on those little memories.

I think that scene and the message it conveyed is why many of us rewatched it during Covid lockdown a few years ago.
