Up In The Air

Ally and I saw the movie "Up In The Air" yesterday. Good movie- well written, well directed, well acted...I see why it's received the acclaim it has. Ultimately though the movie left me sort of unfulfilled, it's almost as though it has no resolution, it's undone.

Perhaps that's why it's done so well. I suppose it's a truer reflection of life that what is generally portrayed in movies. I think we all can agree that in real life things don't get wrapped-up into a nice little happily-ever-after. Life is unpredictable and often not what you expect, and at times sad. It's just that George Clooney's character seems to be having one of those life changing learning experiences, something that turns everything he's ever believed on it's head, and then life almost explicitly confirms his former way of belief. Ironic. Anyhow, it was a good flick- I recommend checking it out, but wait until it comes out on video.
