Tony Curtis line from The Defiant Ones resonates online

Original: "Everybody winds up alone. Not just you. Everybody. That's the way it is." -Tony Curtis as John Jackson The Defiant Ones

Film fans are sharing a quote from the 1958 drama The Defiant Ones, in which Tony Curtis, playing John 'Joker' Jackson, tells his escaped chain-gang companion that 'everybody winds up alone.' The line, from Stanley Kramer's classic about two fugitives bound together despite their differences, is being passed around as a reflection on solitude and human connection.

Why now: The stark quote about loneliness strikes a chord with people reflecting on isolation.
