Thanks Ila, thank you for giving me treasure Recommended viewing this film. And for reminding me that the director is the same Juno , but not only, also Thank You for Smoking , Which I adored at the time.
gripped by economic crisis in the States, where layoffs are becoming more and more necessary than ever, Ryan Bingham (Clooney, I have to admit that it is really good and a great steak, but I declined since it Canalis ago ... I preferred when engaged to the waiter) is a "cutter heads," a "job killer" fly 322 days a year across the country, to lay off people , the dirty work that companies are ashamed to do. He sits at a desk different every time, whether in Milwaukee or Kansas City and Tampa with brisk but gentle manner, with expertise on the edge of coldness, suppresses the careers of individuals, without being moved by the tears, or threats of suicide or the confessions of desperate people who will not be able to run a family. Ryan but did not have a family, do not even have a house: living in hotels and airports, he feels at home in the vending machines and snacks from one thousand lives collecting cards to ensure that no queues at the check-in, or entry into exclusive VIP club horrendous hotel executive, to covet the loyalty card with a million American Airlines miles (nothing to do with it ... not just for the sake of accumulating).
has a little trolley that takes the few things carefully folded, does not need to carry so much stuff, items for him are a burden which must free (so who lectures around the States on how to organize your luggage).
Ryan, a good airport regulars, you know better not to waste time around, a quick trolley and light, never go in the queue behind children (make too much mess) and elderly (they move slowly and have and nails in the body), but always behind the Asians, who are fast and lead loafers (man lives on stereotypes!).
Ryan knows that the life of the pigeon does not allow it to create stable links, nor with his family it with a hypothetical companion during his lectures always explain how the emotional ties are a burden which must escape, for him zero responsibility, zero complications, only passpartout for the best hotel rooms when he met some distraction ... (as George likes to do the eternal single beccione's shoes ... just brush).
It is during one of his many flights he knows Alex (Vera Farmiga), a woman identical to him, always traveling, fascinating and mysterious, sensual and cynical at the right point. Their meetings are always a journey between the brackets and another, at least until he realizes he does not really prove anything ...
But his fantastic pigeon life is being threatened by the arrival of a graduate holding it serves, Natalie (Anna Kendrick, I read that he also did Twilight but fortunately I've never seen), which proposes to optimize the work: eliminating the cost of air, hotel and travel it would be much cheaper to lay off people in a videoconference directly from home.
Despite the seriousness and commitment to be tough to do this job, Natalie suffers lay people and shows a glimmer of humanity and tenderness that only rarely affects our George.
There are a lot of nice things about this film that I would like to point out: first, every journey is punctuated with shots of Ryan in the city where the plane is landing, so the images of geometric city seen from above, and is a really nice for the viewer to understand the various movements of the protagonist, then, at the airport, all the myths about various nationalities ("... Arabs, randomly selected for a '..."); further control the camera with stiff her sister and future husband Ryan door behind during his travels, a trashy but really naive idea to the limits of parcels seemed really funny.
A bittersweet comedy about relationships real and virtual, earth and air, where it is clear that the feelings are always the boss, even at a time when technology seemed to have supplanted the emotions. Fortunately, Jason Reitman did not gives us the happy ending, but it is a film that leaves you really happy to see him.
Who knows how many will walk away with Oscar ...
