"that's my life up there!"
That is what one executive shouted in a cinema during a screening of Seconds.
I wonder if the Ned Merrills in the audience for the swimmer thought the same?
As the World is full of guys like him, that went from rags to riches and back to rags again and their minds just can’t accept it.
They blot out of the fact they got fired or down-sized, that their kids thought they were a joke and that their neighbours hate them.
Wow, this is one timeless movie, even if it supposed to be about the end of the American dream.
