Rob absolutely nails this scene, just like he does every single scene in this movie.

It’s these subtle moments that packed a punch for me, where silence speaks volumes of human connection, especially when all else seems lost.  Travelling through some kind of abyss, the interaction of these characters further sealed the deal for me.  It’s a love story like no other.  awww 🙂 Ok ok!
I laughed but was also moved by Rey’s discomfort to sit silent. Rey’s attempt at not pushing too hard when conversing with Eric was beautiful and then he steps up the feels a few notches and brings attention to the pain from his gun wound. Poor bugger – I really wanted to take him off the screen and make it all better. Eric however did the best he could under the circumstances (bless). While this is going on, they tell us all we need to know of how dire things really are.  So endearing the way they keep their cool about it.
I felt this was a pivotal moment and is slightly lost in translation when not viewed in full context of the film.  Which means I need to watch the whole movie again and soon!
