There was no apparent struggle, she didn’t seem to leave him, she is just gone. Not long after (it seems to be shortly thereafter, but it isn’t stated), he is told that he’s being fired, for no apparent reason.

One thing after another simply goes wrong. It’s like he’s Job, and he is being tested. He decides that it isn’t fair, and he wants an audience with the almighty, so he decides to end it all one night on a building.

About Celluloid Heroes

Welcome to Celluloid Heroes! Here you will find movie reviews of all shapes and sizes. No stone is left unturned, and that is meant quite literally. In fact, you are probably quite unlikely to find the best of the best, as that's something that you can find elsewhere. Here you're more likely to find the dregs of the movie world than anything else.

As to the name? It's actually from a song by The Kinks, and while it may or may not have anything to do directly with the movies, it does mention quite a few movie stars, and things that make you think about movies, and well, it just seemed appropriate. Hopefully you'll agree, and if not, I suspect it won't get in the way too much.

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your stay, and come back often.
