Up In the Air
There are really quite a handful of movies opening in cinema this week. Apart from Fann Wong's Happy Go Lucky, another show really worth cathing is Up In the Air (sidenote: my sis said Alice in Wonderland sucks). It's a really good show, definitely not a show merely on the premise of a guy whose life aim is to chalk up 1 million miles in flying points.
Personally I feel that the dialogues are very well-crafted. There is no lack of humor, especially if you have something for the acerbic kind of humor. George Clooney plays the protagonist whose job is to fire people at different cities in America. Due to the nature of his job, he grew to be rather detached to relationships, be it kinship or personal relationship. That was until he met 2 ladies in his life, one of which whom he had a rather complicated romance with no strings attached, the other which is his new female colleague whom he had to travel with to show her the ropes. Just when he changed the way he views relationships and life, things didnt turn out as the way he expected. I guess the Director's intent is to put across the message that life doesnt always turn out the way we envisioned .
It's definitely a realistic show with depth, and somehow I kind of see a certain portion of myself in Clooney's character (you have to watch the movie to find out).
George Clooney exudes this unspeakable charisma and he is my motivation to be like when Im his age~
This Flight is worth catching, 4.5/5*~
