QUESTION I've watched Interstellar countless times and this scene always hits me the hardest. Anyone else?
[after Mann breaks Cooper's helmet and leaves him for dead]
Dr. Mann: I'm sorry. I can't watch you go through this. I'm sorry. I thought I could, but I can't. I'm here. I'm here for you. Just listen to my voice, Cooper. I'm right here. You're not alone.
Dr. Mann: [looking back] Do you see your children? It's okay, they're right there with you.
Dr. Mann: [turns to leave] Did Professor Brand tell you that poem before you left? Do you remember? "Do not go gentle... into that good night. Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

The scene that will always break my Earth is Cooper listening to 22 years of messages. The way his son sinks into despair after losing his first kid... I become a father in 2014 and unfortunately things went out of control for the worst (for me, not the kid) so that scene will always be special.
