Very well said. It is such a contemplative film, especially at the end. Some of the final scenes are utterly heartbreaking, but the film also leaves you with a sense of hope and inspiration.
Also, Tom Hanks's acting in some of the final scenes is the best acting I've ever seen. I'm thinking specifically of the scene where he's supposed to be meeting Helen Hunt's character but her husband shows up instead. The emotion that is communicated by his face alone is almost bringing me to tears just thinking about it.
