How the Dire Straits Song ‘Walk of Life’ Provides a Perfect Ending Soundtrack to Any Film of Any Genre

Writer and filmmaker Peter Salomone has cleverly created the Walk of Life Project, a cinematic endeavor in which he seeks to prove that the 1985 Dire Straits song ‘Walk of Life‘ provides the perfect ending to any film. In order to prove his hypothesis, he attached the song to the final scene of 50 different movies of varying genres – classic, science fiction, horror, drama, adventure and even the finale of a television show. Some examples include The Matrix, Star Wars: A New Hope, Drive, 2001: A Space Odyssey, There Will Be Blood, The Shining, Casablanca and quite a few more

Hypothesis: “Walk of Life” by Dire Straits is the perfect song to end any movie.
