Up in the Air

Look up in the air! It's a bird!, No, it's a plane! Yes, it is. Hehehe...

Light ang movie, sa sobrang light, nilipad ako. Hehehe...

Ang kwento ay umiikot sa buhay ni Ryan Bingham, isang traveler, na ang trabaho ay mag-conduct ng mga seminars sa mga company around the United States. Pero hindi lang ordinaryong seminar ang binibigay nya tulad ng motivational speeches, etc. , pati ang pagsasabi personally sa mga empleyado na sila'y tigbak na sa kumpanya ay ginagawa nya. In short, kinukuha siya ng mga company na takot i-announce sa mga empleyado na sila'y lay-off na. Parang tanga, may ganun pala. Hahaha.



But despite the prestige and privilege of Ryan to travel around the US, to stay in some 5-star hotels, and being able to achieve his personal goal such as to achieve ten million frequent flyer miles, parang may kulang pa rin sa buhay nya.

He had a casual relationship to a woman, and a traveler also, named Alex. At first, walang problema sa pagsasama nila, pero in the end, walang lihim na hindi mabubunyag! Hehehe...

As he travels around the USA, he realizes that he is also traveling the journey of life. He met Natalie, a co-worker na sa una'y parang taliwas ang kanyang idealism kumpara sa kanya.

Because of traveling, he also had the chance to attend to his younger sister's wedding, na muntik pang hindi natuloy dahil sa isang pangyayari.

Pero kahit na mukhang marami naman siyang nakakahalubilong tao, at the end of the day, pakiramdam pa rin nya ang pagiging lonely.

Ang lesson ng movie, well, hindi ko alam. Hahaha... Life must go on?.. hahaha!

Aside from being nominated as Best Picture sa darating na Oscars, eto pa ang mga nakuha nitong nominations:

Best Actor para kay George Clooney
Best Supportung Actress para kina Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick
Best Director
Best Adapted Screenplay

My final say: 7.13 out of 10!
