Crazy credits Special Thanks: The Chairman. User reviews Review. Top review. This movie has been a very good experience for me. I found the story extremelly interesting and intelligent. I enjoyed every second, cause there was a lot of action, mystery in the nice way of it , romance, humor, and at the same time the story made you think deeper about life it self.
About getting out of your little every day life and try to see the "greater picture". How ready and capable is any of us "every day people" to make a change, to believe, to dare, to even actual think "differently" in any part of our lives FAQ 4. Is "The Adjustment Bureau" based on a book? What powers do the bureau members have? How can Norris run for Senate four years later? David successfully finds Elise in the washroom of the courthouse she is getting married in and in the process of apologizing to her, he reveals the existence of the Bureau.
In danger of getting his mind erased, David gets Elise to follow him through the different portals until they end up at the Statue of Liberty, where they are trapped. However, Harry then comes to Thompson with new instructions from the chairman. Thompson reads the new instructions and then excuses itself. David and Elise end up happily together and Harry narrates that perhaps one day humanity as a whole will be allowed to write their own destinies.
Emily Blunt is a beautiful dancer who can't quite work out the difference between "carefree" and "laughing far too hard at everything". Michael Kelly is an insidery government assistant.
Jon Slattery is a man who sometimes wears a hat. There are no casting surprises, which makes it easier for the viewer to accept what happens. And that's good, because what happens is faintly berserk. It took Lost about four years to soften up viewers enough that they believed it was really just a battle between free will and determinism; The Adjustment Bureau gives us about half an hour.
Then: "Isn't Emily Blunt wearing a nice dress? Perhaps because this is such a big idea to adjust to, The Adjustment Bureau never really hesitates to explain exactly what's going on. The angels — because, screw it, this film gets insanely religious at the end, so they're definitely angels — can't bear to see humans, with their stupid brains and crackpot decision-making processes, ruin the world.
So they guide us, either invisibly or through directly aggressive intimidation, by the whims of an unseen figure who is so clearly meant to be God that they may as well have hired Morgan Freeman to follow everyone around and chuckle at everything he does in a vaguely avuncular way.
Unless you're Matt Damon, of course, because then the angels just let you do whatever you want. And what did he do next?
He made a boring film about fracking. The lesson here: let the angels do whatever they want to do.
