Up in the air

i saw the movie for two reasons: one being that its a george clooney flick and the second that i had seen it being nominated for some category in academy awards.

and it didnt really strike a cord. maybe because i had anticipated the movie to be exceptional and it was not.

the story is primarily wrapped around ryan's (george clooney) life style. he prefers to be a loner and has no stable home. he lives off in hotel rooms and first class air travels. he infact likes that kind of existence. no strings attached. he even goes far enough to be a challenger speaker "whats in ur backpack" which encourages people to shun all relationships. by the way, he works for a firm that fires people for other firms.

then there comes a new employee full of new ideas and bursting with energy, natalie keener. she has an idea that firing can be done through live video chat which saves money and time. now this threatens the very existence of ryan. he is asked to travel with her. during the course of his travels he meets a lady who is essentially a feminine version of himself. and it seems that inspite of all his restrictions he finally meets his soulmate. he even goes to his sister's wedding with her!

it will be awful of me to disclose their relationship. anyway out of the blue he has a turn of heart and realize that he cant go on living like that.

ask no more. i really cant say what really happened simply because i didnt get it completely myself. i felt that the thing which was the essence of the movie wasnt emphasised as much as it should have.

at the end i was felt confused and wondering what happened
