Man on bus aka burning man

In Wes Anderson's Darjeeling Ltd. there is a man on a bus.
In the sci-fi horror movie Event Horizon there is a burning man.
Nothing is complete without the man on the bus aka the burning man.
It is not Hamlet or Luke Skywalker, Faust or Captain Kirk, who are the key players.
It is the burning man on the bus, the Bauernbergpark Man, the Auersbergplatz Man and the man at St.Peter's station.
The world is not complete without the man on the bus.
Event Horizon is nothing without the burning man.
We trample on the weak and laugh about the feeble.
But what are we to do so.
Nothing more than grains of sand and nothing less than tiny universes.
Enough pathos for today.
As Bowie used to sing: when I die, moon-dust, will cover me....
