Great movie and even better analogy....well done!

How's this: I see the Jack Lemmon character as Fred B begging and pleading with everyone despite his certain fate. Ed Harris is our MEC that spews vitriol and misplaced anger instead of dealing with the fate that's been decided by forces bigger than he.

Alec Baldwin's character strikes me as D.S. - has the backing of the powerful company and with all the resolve and none of the compassion wrapped up in a tidy package delivered with pure contempt.

Haven't figured out Alan Arkin or Pacino yet. This is one of the best posts yet, lol
