I watched Cast Away last night (for the first time) and I was amazed at the ending. Reminded me of us. The part where she runs out to the car and tells him she loves him, that he is the love of her life. He replies "I love you too, more than you will ever know." Then he reads her thoughts... "But you have to go home."

He is left at the crossroads, both literally and figuratively. As if by fate, an attactive woman, the one he just dropped off the package for, is put right in front of him. There is a woman available to take the place of his lost love... but does he pursue her... for she is not the same as the woman he loves and lost.
