Up in the Air


"The stars will wheel forth from their daytime hiding places; and one of those lights, slightly brighter than the rest, will be my wingtip passing over."
Here he is...a man who has completely abandoned the idea of stability and commitment. Yes, he is committed to his work, where he flys 300 and something days a year, but committment to someone and a relationship, well he has made that impossible. When he finally meets someone "up in the air" there is a connection that isn't forced and is easy, so he thinks. This movie makes one realize how important human relationships are, even if they carry a lot of weight and baggage. While this movie may have been one of the most depressing movies I have seen in a long time (Closer), I recommend seeing it.
