EOC WEEK 10: Up In The Air

I loved this movie "Up In The Air"! This movie was funny and constructive. It gave you an idea of today's reality and the economy and on the other hand it was funny because people are fired everyday and there's just no nice way to put "your fired". I thought it was creative how George Clooney fires the guy and inspires him to have a new beginning. A better life for his children. When the reality of it is hes going to be searching for a job for the next few months or even years. I thought it was funny how the girl thought she knew what she was doing and then George showed her the real deal! I takes a lot to be able to turn a bad situation to good, especially when you are telling someone that aren't going to be receiving a paycheck anymore. I think some good skills Clooney used in the movie were, turning the tables from bad to good, pointing out the benefits, and just being realistic as well. This movie kind of reminds of "Thank You For Not Smoking"movie where he tries to enhance the idea of cigarette smoking. That movie illustrates the same idea, turning something bad to good. You kind of have to be a bullshitter to have that job. I have only been fired once but I knew it was coming because I got into a physical fight with somebody, so I wasn't saddened by my job loss. I am not sure what I would do if I really relied on my paycheck to support a family or a home and then I suddenly lost my job. I know I wouldn't want somebody telling how its going to be good for a change in my life, after I just lost my job.
