Up In the Air



RELATIONSHIPS ARE THE HEAVIEST BAGGAGE IN YOUR LIFE

A tale of an aloof, high-flying exec whose millions of frequent-flyer miles can't keep him permanently above the emotional turbulence he seeks to avoid.




Clooney is Ryan Bingham, a gun-for-hire who specializes in the the dirty work some corporate bosses don't like to do themselves, firing employees. He's great at his job, expert at suggesting to devastated workers that new horizons in life can be explored, and he loves the lifestyle of spending most of his time in business class seats and upscale hotels. Given that, at last count, he's on the move 322 days per year, and his modest apartment in Omaha resembles an undecorated motel room.




Ryan delivers occasional motivation speeches on how you should be able to fit all that's important to you into a backpack, and he practices what he preaches by travelling with just one carry-on-bag. He receives top-level, members-only treatment at airports, car rental desks and hotels, and picking up a like-minded women, Alex, in a lounge one night. They have a easy-come, easy-go relationship.



The title of this movie literally explains what it is like to not know what aspects of your life are solid, such as a home or a significant other. Everything going on is simply up in the air. One day, what you thought was one way will turn out to be something else entirely.
