I am, and have always been since I first became acquainted with his body of work, a huge fan of comedian/actor/writer/producer/director Albert Brooks. I find myself thoroughly entranced with his uncanny ability to relate the nuts and bolts of human existence with candid humor and poignancy in a manner to which all of us mortals can, to at least some degree, relate in terms of our own life experiences. By far, of all of his movies, the one in which I delight the most is the 1991 film Defending Your Life, in which 30-something mid-level business executive Daniel (played by Brooks) dies after his recently purchased Mercedes is hit in a head-on crash by a Los Angeles city bus.
