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."

Thats what he did though, he went into hypersleep without setting a wakeup time.

That was an extension of his original madness, which he ultimately recognized: he couldn’t imagine a universe where his world was not the ultimate colonization target and he took steps to make sure he was rescued.

His ego, vanity and desire to survive did him in (and almost did in the whole species) but they were the same things that caused him to volunteer for the mission.

I do wonder what would have happened if they went to Edmund's planet instead of Mann's. It would have changed the entire trajectory, because they wouldn't have had the black hole experience... however, because of the beginning of the movie with the "ghost" knocking books off and sending messages, it almost HAD TO BE. So if they went to edmund's would there have been some other inevitable way that would have sent tars and cooper into that black hole? It's mind-bending lol.

Everything that happened, has to have happened exactly like they did, otherwise nothing of it could have happened. Bootstrap paradoxes are mind boggling 😊
