Perhaps the best speech in the whole film. Rather interesting to see how the monologue transcends Chuck Noland's circumstance. Its relevance is universal.
The part about this scene that gets me emotional is how the friend is there just listening to him talk. He doesn't say anything, he just listens to him. He lets him talk and vent and cry. You can tell that Chuck just showed up unannounced. It looks like his friend is in pajamas. But none of that matters. He knows that Chuck needs him. That, to me, is so moving. That is a real friend.
I love that. It also struck me that he was behaving like Wilson in a way by just listening. Except this time, Chuck was talking to a person and not a volleyball.
Also his friend lost his wife to cancer, and chucks monologue is a description of his friend's experience losing his wife. The whole story could be a metaphor of losing a loved one to death. Lots of depth in this movie.
Hardly... You should watch the movie again, it's about a man who is stranded on an island by an act of god for 4 years, and learns nothing from it. A neoliberal corporate drone who berated and abused his subordinates, so he could ride the gravy train while pretending he's helping the greater good (because 'adoption papers must go across the world in less than 87 hours or the universe will implode' lol). Calm down mailman, you're FEDEX, not a helicopter pilot delivering a heart to a transplant patient waiting at the hospital. God punished you for your insolence, and instead of learning to become a better person and treat all people better (not just your loved ones), you came out of this experience thinking "life wanted me to go on because who knows what the tide would bring"?!? Incorrigible idiot, a product of a greedy-foul system that's destroying our planet for profit. P.s: shit talking aside, Tom Hanks is a gifted actor, brought his A-game to this movie.
I can relate to this so hard now. In January 2018 I was homeless, living in my car in the harsh winter of Wisconsin. Thinking back on those below zero nights that there was no hope and yet here I am 4 and a half years later with a good job and more money than I have ever had in my life. Never give up. Even in your lowest moments.
Fantastic scene. Certainly got me through some dark moments. If anxiety, depression and dark thoughts seem to overwhelm you, don't lose hope, (certainly seek out help but most importantly) just keep breathing and know that tomorrow brings a new sunrise. Who knows what the tide will bring in?
Thankyou all people. A few months after this tough time - I met the love of my life - It felt like my sail came in. For those interested in reading a bit further on this scene, here's my blog: lockdawg.wordpress.com/2020/08/15/a-message-of-hope-who-knows-what-the-tide-will-bring/
A key quote that motivational speakers always say is ''no matter what hardships life throws at you, remember to be grateful every day for the things you do have''. Even though Chuck is heartbroken, he shows he is ready to heal and move on.
@@DumbDrummer92 because most people don’t get to the point that Chuck got to. Moving on and healing doesn’t happen for a lot of people. They either suffer for a long time or die to drug/alcohol abuse or suicide because they can bear the emotions.
In 2019 my husband lost his job. I was a stay at home mom so we didn't even have my income to fall back on. We lost our house. Our dogs died. We had to move 300 miles from anyone we knew. It was hard. Covid made it harder. But we held our little family together. We quoted this scene to each other on hard days. During the hardest moments of that chapter it was "gotta keep breathing". Now that we have bounced back mentally and financially, it is more of "who knows what the tide may bring". Don't give up if you are in a dark part of your life. The sun will rise. 💙
This is what we call, when we were kids we admired the heroes, when we were adults, we understand the villain. All I say, did the world ever give us a chance? No the world never did. So why would i
Stan thought he'd lost Chuck in the plane crash, and he lost his wife to cancer. When Chuck came back they only really had each other left. But yes, he was a true friend who Chuck could confide in.
To all the people still watching this scene and still commenting, i say this without agenda: youre all wonderful people and i love you all. Keep breathing and wait for your sail to come in and let us know when it does.
"I know what I have to do now: I have to keep breathing, because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide will bring in?" As stupid as it sounds, this one line has become my mantra for life. I've had tremendous anxiety & depression all my life, tried medicating myself with alcohol until I found a medication that changed my life. I rarely drink anymore, even though I still have very bad days. Life is tough, but every passing day is a battle won, and every new day is another opportunity.
Hope: one of the theological virtues. In order to have hope, we need to have faith, faith that the sun will rise again tomorrow, or ultimately, faith in God.
I watched this film again last week. I hadn’t seen it for 15 years or so, and in my memory it was just a film about a guy who gets stuck on a deserted island and eventually gets off of it. My god how could I forget it was about so much more than that? This scene may just be the best as well. It’s about life being bittersweet, opportunity passing you by, love and loss, having hope, and carrying on. What a truly outstanding film.
Personal growth must have happened in those years and you were watching it as a completely different person. Interesting that things like that can happen
Tomorrow the sun will rise and who knows what the tide will bring. I saw this movie when I was a kid and now about 20 something years later I watched it again. This line hit me in a way that I haven’t felt before. Even if you lose the thing you love the most tomorrow the sun will rise, who knows what the tide will bring. Might be nothing but hope is important to hold onto even if it life never bears any fruit.
I love the fluidity of this scene and the fact it was done in one take. Brilliant direction from Bob Zemeckis and amazing acting (as always) from Tom Hanks.
"I know what I have to do now: I have to keep breathing, because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide will bring in?" Keeps me going for another day.
“And I’ve lost her all over again”. That pain will never go away. But to have hope of new beginnings is what gets you through. “Tomorrow the sun will rise...who knows what the tide could bring.”
As someone who struggles with anxiety and depression, this scene really speaks to me. To anyone struggling, help is out there and good days ARE coming. Even when you think good days aren’t coming trust me they are
We do believe it because it happened to us. I never thought I was going to be happy. I thought I’d be dead or in jail soon enough but somehow I made it and I’m doing much better. Don’t give up. We’re all going to die anyways so why not give it everything you’ve got.
Every line in this monologue holds so much meaning. Even the line "I have ice in my glass" can jolt into your brain that he's been on an island and the invention of ice (especially in the tropics) wouldn't come to fruition in millennia, and to acknowledge how fortunate you are to possess it for something so trivial: A beverage. Such a good movie.
They don't want to take risks anymore. They don't want to explore the depths of humanity and the beauty of life and the soul. These days it's all just about the bottom line $. That's why you see remakes and franchises being milked. Though i think Zemeckis did a wonderful job with The Walk a few years back, but that's along different themes. Deep in a different way.
This was my dad's favourite movie, and he watched it with me many times. He passed away in 2016, a little after I turned 20. There's something deeply soothing about those words, "I've got to keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. And who knows what the tide could bring". I sat and listened to those words sitting next to my dad, watching this movie as a kid, and now they comfort me as I mourn him. It's like he sent me those words himself.
This is beautiful. I know it was a couple of years ago that you posted this, but I find it moving that you go back and watch this scene to help you feel somewhat connected to your father. ❤️
This really is Tom Hanks at his best is this scene right here. His admitting to thinking about killing himself to voicing how he knows he's lost the love of his life, it might be the most powerful moment of the film and with the music softly playing, just accents it all.
Yvonne Gibney don't give up! There are people that love you and you have meaning to their lives. They would be devastated...pleaze hold on . You are loved. Suicide is not the answer.. hold on . You are loved!❤
As someone who has struggled with mental health issues and figuring life out this scene speaks volumes to me. To anyone out there- keep breathing because tomorrow the sun will rise...
TraumaER I just shocked my small office last week by telling them this is in my top 5 movies of all time, the most realistic plane crash, I believe, ever captured on film, the entire island segment, the whole thing is just great, and then this? Top 5.
gotta keep breathing because tomorrow the sun will rise who knows what the tide could bring whenever something in my life goes pretty shitty i always tell this to myself and have been for 20 yrs
A year of trying to hold on to hope that we would work. I think it’s finally over. I have no fight left. That’s why this scene hits home so hard. Any day things can turn around. Gotta keep breathing
This scene alone is more than enough to tug on the heartstrings... You could hear Tom's voice cracking as well when the music started to fade in he went on. Even though he survived 4 long years on a deserted island, he came back to find the love of his life had moved on without him forever.. It's a really soul-tearing thought that Tom's character is gonna live without his love that he didn't even proposed in the beginning, crashed in the middle of the ocean on an island with the only company being a volleyball. Only to come back home and got.. nothing.
I won’t over-dramatize and say it saved me cause I don’t know if I was at that point, but the words he says in this scene have definitely given me hope in some dark times
Tomorrow the sun will rise again who knows what the tide will bring. Sadness and depression is a everyday battle in me . Amazing scene thanks Tom Hanks 💛
When my dad passed away I was devastated beyond articulation. I wept nearly every single day for an entire 6 months until I was given my little daughter. She was wailing in my arms as babies do and all that pain subsided. As she grew I endured a daily conflict of being heart-broken and deliriously happy at this wonderful little being nestled in my arms. Over time I came to realize that I was living for her and not through the loss of my father. The tide came in and brought me wonder and delight. Time truly does heal all wounds.
You may perceive that you are living FOR your daughter. But like you & YOUR father, your daughter is really living for YOU...until you pass, and she must grieve until she finds meaning & purpose in HER life. So, no...you aren't really living FOR her. You are really just a tough emotional speedbump in HER life & an educational tool that can help her learn. You will be a tragic end to a triumphant beginning for her, and she'll honour you for it, as you do your father. You just remember how bad your death will be for her, and how badly you want her suffering to end & lead to understandings such as these did for Chuck. That ought to temporarily solve any major existential dilemmas you may have & help her. (I do the same...and it does.) There is no sweet. Just bittersweet. It's not depressing. It's bringing you down to earth. Like it did for Chuck.
This film will always be so special to me, i fell in love with someone whilst travelling, we watched this together. It felt special at that time, and it’s been so significant for my journey with him. We ended after it becoming messy and me returning home. I dont think i’ll ever love someone like this again & i am so grateful he was with me on that island.
Ive been struggling with mental health problems for the better part of my life, this scene hit me hard in a good way, especially the line "because tomorrow the sun will rise, who knows what the tide could bring?". Anything can change in an instant and we have power over nothing. Life can be so tough and unforgiving sometimes, but dont dismiss the beauty of it, thank you.
"We both had done the math. Kelly added it all up, knew she had to let me go. I added it up, knew that I had lost her. Cause I was never going to get off that island. I was going to die there, totally alone. I mean I was going to get sick, or get injured or something. The only choice I had, the only thing I could control was when, and how, and where that was going to happen. So I made a rope and I went up to the summit, to hang myself. I had to test it, you know? Of course. You know me. And the weight of the log, snapped the limb of the tree, so I couldn’t even kill myself the way I wanted to. I had power over nothing. That’s when this feeling came over me like a warm blanket. I knew, somehow, that I had to stay alive. Somehow. I had to keep breathing. Even though there was no reason to hope. And all my logic said that I would never see this place again. So that’s what I did. I stayed alive. I kept breathing. And one day that logic was proven all wrong because the tide came in and gave me a sail. And now, here I am. I’m back. In Memphis, talking to you. I have ice in my glass. And I’ve lost her all over again. I’m so sad that I don’t have Kelly. But I’m so grateful that she was with me on that island. And I know what I have to do now. I got to keep breathing, because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?"
Don't need to get that much romantic. Many people thing that she was cheating on him. The main point is this is not a movie about love it's about the ending of love.
By this point Stan has lost his wife to cancer. Which is established earlier in the film. Without even saying a word they show Chuck and Stan are supporting each other. Like close friends do.
The sound of rain complements this scene so well. 💕 Water sounds like ocean waves around the island and rainfall outside the house are such greats symbols of the fluidity of life. The unpredictability of the tide or a rainstorm is always going to be there, just like life. It’s worth it to keep going...keep breathing...keep patience...keep living... and you will eventually see what will wash up on the shore 🌊, or get glimpses of sunshine rays peeking through the clouds ⛅️
It's just a beautiful moment in this movie. It simply pierces my heart everytime I watch it. I feel every emotion he is relaying in this scene, and he is amazing!
My favorite part about this scene is that as it pans from right to left it goes from negative stand point of view to a positive one as soon as the camera is directly center of his face and towards the end we are seeing his face in the light of the fireplace. Really great cinematography and story telling.
That quote " i know what i got to do now , i got to keep breathing coz tomorrow the Sun will rise , who knows what the Tide could bring" got me through a rough patch in my life so i kept breathing and that Tide brought me the most Amazing Lady into my life❤
This scene always drives me to tears! It has been so helpful to me in times when I've lost people or felt hopeless! Oh my god, words can simply not explain what it does to me and the hope it gives me! Even i good times, it makes me feel that I can live without anyone and that I can always bounce back from any situation. Thanks Tom, you're such a star!
What a great scene.. this is really an allegory we could all use for difficult situations in our lives. Such irony when he said he is grateful because Kelly was with him on the island. It was the hope of being with her again that kept him going when the future reality was that she moved on. We all need to keep breathing, who knows what the tide tomorrow can bring :)
For anyone struggling, who think their situation is hopeless, and just want to give up on life. Always remember to keep breathing. Because one day, your sail will come, and the tide will take you where you're meant to be
This scene is quite possibly the most superb example of excellence in writing, casting, directing, acting, editing, cinematography and sound that I have ever seen.
Whoever posted this you are Legend.... this is the part of the movie I've always gone to whenever I feel down and depressed in life.. just replaying the part where he said . "you just have to keep breathing, because tomorrow the sun will rise and who knows what the tide could bring" Whoever needs to hear this, remember.. just try to get through the storm... Better Days will come. I promise you. Stay blessed 🙏🙏
I couldn't say I lost you, because I never really had you, you just passed by my life like a shooting star. Every passing second you are in my mind, lost in those brief moments you shared with me. It's so silly and infantile feeling like this, but also the most profound experience I ever had. How not to feel everything is absolutely pointless, how to come back from absolute ecstasy? I just keep breathing.
This specific part of the movie helped me get over the death of my brother I always think of it and have over the years told people about it and I'm grateful for this I truly am because it brought me peace and strength
Agree with you on this being the best scene. My favorite part of this monologue: "Who knows what the tide could bring" Of course, most of my favorite movie speeches are about hope. This truly is the best of all things.
It's ok to end a relationship , don't think over it again and again... Whatever the reason you or the other person wanted divorce it doesn't matter in the coming months and years...
Gilbertoey I feel that every day when I look to my side of the bed. Now I bought a single bed because there’s only person who I need to love and that is myself. I always tell myself that I am good person, I love myself and I will always bring joy to myself because I am a person and I am alive. Keep saying that, and your life changes. It does take time but Tom Hanks would ask “who knows what the tide will bring?”
I had a perfect relationship, all a man could ever want. Great girl with a smile of an angel and heart like none other. Was in relationship with her for 4 years. And months before it came crashing down I experienced something traumatic and had been suffering from depression ever since. I would try my best to get to her but I couldnt deal with the distance of travel. She would come ocassionally for months and then when I almost reached the point of recovery when I could get to go trough 90% of that road to reach her, she gave up on me and left me. The ending of this video makes me cry cause I feel the same way. Yes I have lost her , but in the depth of the depression I am thankful I had sometimes her company or sometimes just her image.
Sometimes people will come into your life only for a period of time.. and we will miss them when they’re gone. But had we not had them for that time. Now that would be worse.
When your going though the worst times any lyrics of songs, movie quotes etc can be so closely, scarily relatable. I havent been physically stranded on an island..but i am on my island. My mind. Losing everything i loved. It's lost. Powerful beyond belief. Take care anyone reading this and all the love from Wales X
This got me thinking about my older sister who I lost one week after we celebrate our birthday together. She was born on the 13 and I was born on the 14 but 9 years apart so we always celebrate our birthdays together. Our last birthday trip we spent it with her daughters, my nieces. It was a pricey trip at the time, I thought this will take a hit on my savings but we had a great time. The next week she passed away but just like he said "I'm sad I don't have her, but I'm very grateful she was with me."
Regardless of your circumstances. Be it suffering with mental illness, drug addiction, loss of loved ones or being stuck in a survival situation this scene has the most important truth for all of those events. “Gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide will bring”. Just keep breathing. I’ve been to some dark places and this simple line kept me going. In a way we’re all stranded on an island with no reason to hope but we don’t know what tomorrow will bring. So all we can do is keep breathing. As corny as this may be this scene is genuinely beautiful and has the greatest advice for life. I’m so grateful that I saw this when it came out and when I was young enough to really take this message in because it saved me from some nasty stuff.
Truly inspirational we all have difficult times in our lives some that can bring us to the deepest depths of hopelessness but we have to stay alive keep breathing because we never can really know what tomorrow might bring another sun rise can change everything
This scene always brings a tear to my eye just like now, such a great actor, plus it saddens me how he suffered through the island but that he had his wife Kelly on a watch thing but that was only a picture of her but then after he lost her again knowing she married another man.....man that's deep
I've been alone without love for many years, trying to pick myself up and keep breathing and i managed to get thru each day Then i met this new girl, amazing girl. She showed me love again and made me dream, talked about the future. I was so happy.. Then she told me she has a boyfriend she loves She left me in the morning after sleeping over at my place with that knowledge just a day ago and went back to him without any closure Now i feel more alone then ever, my hearth is in pieces. All i know is that i have to keep breathing even tho my tears are falling
Memento Just because you’re watching this scene I know you have a good heart. Man I’ve been single and looking for love for over 10 years. Appreciate being alone, learn to love it. I KNOW it’s hard, but we can’t control others. Much love man.
Memento *Oh Yes* There *are* worse things than being Alone But it often takes Decades To Realize this And most often When you do Its too late And there's nothing worse Than Too Late.
I know what that feels like. But i know in all your pain it also teached you something. This ex boyfriend could not have been unknown too you. But your not to blame all i can say is that you have to be more carefull in future decisions if ever. Dont ever go for a girl who has unfinished business with her ex even tho it's been three months or longer. Especially when they always might have been soulmatey close. Pussy like that will only take another man too try and get over her own pain ultimately hurting the person she was with at that time. I cant blame you its tempting but through this lesson that future temptation is gone. Find a woman that knows what she wants. You'll be allright keep that chin up take care my friend.
Bruce Rylan I always get the feeling when I see or talk to a pretty girl / try to befriend one that she’s already seeing someone, that I’m not good enough, not cute enough, not this or that enough. I have so much self doubt and doubt in any relationship ever that it’s a constant cycle of pain and heartbreak to the point of suicidal thoughts because I don’t think I’ll ever find love . True love inside and out with her. Can’t stop watching this scene in late .
CJ brother your being to hard on yourself. You see you are a person too and you have to start loving yourself one way or another. If only a girl can make you happy? Thats not good my friend cause the only one you need is you to be happy. Find self respect! a girl isnt the key in making you happy! Only you can do that. Your life matters you need to try and find some balance. Im not gonna give you BS that you’ll find your true love. But love one day you will find. Confidence is key. Do what makes you happy first a women in your life isnt key happiness. But if your life is solid and you know what you want things will get easier for you. And they will notice you my friend. God bless
Awesome, simple and very effective way this scene was shot. Traditionally you'd probably have a static shot of Chuck with one cut back to his friend to show his reaction and establish he's there, then maybe a push into Chuck's face as he's saying the rest of the monolog. But his friend's reaction isn't important, just that brief glimpse of his presence, the sight of the pajamas, the towel around his neck establishes so much visually. We get it all in one go with one simple camera movement.
There’s just so many quotes in my life that this man has said. “Tomorrow the sun will rise, who knows what the tide will bring” “Every man I kill the further away from home I feel” “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” We can go on and on…
