In front of nature, people are always small.

The entire film is played by Tom Hanks alone, from imbecile Forrest Gump to the chief in saving Ryan. His performance is flesh and blood, unforgettable.
Personally, I think this film is much better than Ang Lee's "Fantasy Drifting of Pi".
There's no reason for it, it's just the feeling of watching the movie, and the tears I shed when Chuck sees Kelly again at the end of the movie.
When Chuck returned home four years later, after the party, the guests left, he was alone again, picked up the crab legs mockingly, and easily played with the lighter, his heartache was self-evident.
In front of nature, people are always small. When you die, you die forever. You are alive, there are still pursuits, there are still unknowns and hopes. To put it mildly, there is still poetry and distance in life.
