One of the top dozen movies on my 'must-watch' list (I've probably watched it at least ten times)....is Castaway (2000) with Tom Hanks.
My problem with the movie? It comes up in the final two minutes of the movie, where 'Chuck' has lost his relationship upon returning to civilization, and has delivered the remaining box from the island adventure to this house in the rural regions of Texas.
He's laid the box at the door, with a note. Then he goes a mile or two down the road where he hits the intersection and debating his path remaining in life. The artist lady who made this item stops and has a forty second description of paths (north, south, east and west)....telling Chuck where each leads him.
She climbs into the truck, does a angel-like grin, and drives home.
Chuck spends the next 30 seconds debating his path.....then the screen darkens.
I kinda wished that Chuck had slapped his head....realizing the right path, and the final scene being him on the front porch of the artist-lady....sipping an ice-tea....and chatting over music from ZZ Top, episodes of Bonanza with 'Adam', and sharing favorite Bible-quotes from the Old Testament (sarcastically spoken of course).
So with the sun setting....Chuck and artsy-lady chatting....things would have been made right.
Instead, you are just left wondering....did Chuck drive back to visit the artsy-lady or did he get confused....driving off to the west coast?
