2009年上映,George Clooney 主演的Up In The Air。他名叫Ryan Bingham,他的職業是幫其他公司解雇員工,偶爾還會到處去演講。由於工作的需要,他常年都在酒店和飛機上。他心裡有一個目標,就是達到1千萬英里的里程數。他非常享受于這種生活,他根本不需要一個家、婚姻。由於長年在外,他與家人的關係也很疏遠。一次的出差,他遇到一位志同道合的女人,倆人就從陌生人變成了性伴侶。直到一位新同事的加入,她所提出的新方案將讓男主角失去到處飛的機會。同時,他與那位性伴侶相處後,開始有想安定下來的念頭。但是事與願違,他去到Chicago找她時才發現原來她已經是有老公、有小孩的。由於之前新同事所提出的新方案也無法完全替代之前的方式,他又繼續踏上雲霄中的旅程了...
*有時候,改變卻讓自己受傷害...
Quotes from the movie:
Anybody who ever built an empire, or changed the world, sat where you are now. And it's because they sat there that they were able to do it.
Ryan Bingham: You know why kids love athletes?
Bob: Because they screw lingerie models.
Ryan Bingham: No, that's why we love athletes. Kids love
them because they follow their dreams.
Ryan Bingham: You know that moment when you look into
somebody's eyes and you can feel them staring into your soul and the whole
world goes quiet just for a second?
Natalie Keener: Yes.
Ryan Bingham: Right. Well, I don't.
