Ryan Bingham is a man isolated and lonely due to his work up in the air. He fires people for a living, hops on a plane, and flies to fire more and more people, in order for him to save up 10 million miles in order to go more places. Nothing more the that. I guess you can say he's very lonely, but he's only surrounded by many. He suddenly meets a girl, with the same job just like him, and slowly starts to fall in love, even though his philosophy is not to settle down. And when his job is in danger of beeing taken over by videochat firings, he himself is almost getting fired. In attempt to persuade his boss for him to continue travelling he takes along an uptight manager of the videochat company with him on his many trips, to show her why he shouldn' t be grounded.
The trick of the film here is that since there is so much going on, we can only imagine what Ryan might feel. The story deals with philosophies of love and being with others and more adult politics that i am too young to understand, yet i feel that pain. Jason Reitman and his cast of George Clooney, Vera Farmiga, and Anna Kendrich all make us believe that we are seeing this dismay of life and its morals. Yet in the same way, i felt like i was staring straight into a mirror, how lonely we all sometimes get and how ourselves wish we were up in the air like Ryan. All i can say is, George, i feel for you.
