Out of Frame: The Adjustment Bureau

Angels have a pretty rough time of it in the movies. They get assigned odd menial tasks on Earth, like wandering around listening to the thoughts of people with whom they can never interact (Wings of Desire), keeping suicidal drunks from offing themselves (It’s a Wonderful Life), and trying to get notoriously fickle humans to fall (and stay) in love (A Life Less Ordinary). And when they screw up, they’re forced to wander Wisconsin for all eternity (Dogma). I’d say they need a union, but we all know what happened the last time they tried to organize in large numbers to address grievances with management.
