Up in the Air: A Film about Firing People

Up in the Air   
Although the take-a-way of this George Clooney film is that it’s worth it to “carry a heavy back pack” of relationship commitments, this film was really about work and That Moment of getting fired. His theory is to stay aloof for successful living, but he clearly was not designed for that isolation. The one time that he decides to have stuff in his backpack, he gets hurt, and with an empty backpack, must find comfort in the skies. We are all supposed to feel better – we may not be that cool, dapper, free guy, but we can recover with the use the contents of our backpack. Do we agree?
