Maybe I'm taking this hypothesis too literally, but I watched a few of these ("There Will Be Blood/The Dark Knight Rises/The Shining), and didn't think The Walk Of Life fit at all. Saying this as a big Dire Straits fan.

Yeah, I think if you take it completely out of context of the movie and just watch the very end, maybe it works. But like Heat for example. After watching that story unfold for 3 hours and the environment that Mann setup for the movie and the city....that seems more like the ending to a naked gun parody. So while if you had never seen the movie the visual beats might work with the audio beats, it is very superficial.

I like the song and would want it to work, but this is more of a quick proof that the hypothesis has been proven false in quick order so at least we can put to rest this one and move on to the next hypothesis.
