Movie: The Adjustment Bureau

This looks SO COOL! First it's always great to have a story about the characters fighting with every effort towards something simply for love. It's a very American sentiment; the pursuit of happiness thing.

But then the whole idea of this Adjustment Bureau, this secret, all-powerful, shadow government agencies that controls every aspect of our lives. It totally captures all those ideas of conspiracy theories and "The Man." Notice that all of the agents are these very traditional, 1950's, white (and white haired), male, patriarch figures. One of the agents is John Slattery from Mad Men. It is just one of ideas that we know is too outlandish to ever be real, but we always like to indulge in in the back of minds when things go wrong and there seems to little other explanation.
