The epic survival drama film follows the life of FedEx executive Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks) after his plane crashes into the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n

As boxes wash up on shore, he opens one to find a volleyball with a card inscribed with this quote:<\/p>\n

The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Johnny have the happiest birthday ever! Score!<\/p>\n

Your Grandpa.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We can thank American modernist writer Wallace Stevens for the poetic words used in the scene.<\/p>\n

Our relationship with the world is complex but there is always beauty.<\/p>\n
