Home is our spiritual pillar

What is your spiritual pillar? Is it your life situation or your parents? Is it your religious faith or your favorite pop star? What?s more, maybe it is money or beauty? Everyone has his spiritual pillar, of course, with different reasons. In the film, “Up in the air”, the answer is home. The film came out in 2009, but Ihaven?t seen this film before several days. The film tells a story about a layoffs experts whose name isRyan Bingham. He was always lonely but he never admitted. And he loved this kind of life. "Up in the air" relentlessly criticism of the most widespread social problems, such as enterprise downscale, modern people more and more not good at communication, and

enterprise absurd and old customers incentives, such as the ten million flight mileage awards. Through the whole social environment outstanding little chance, and from people to reflect the whole social reality, "Up in the Air" is such a film. The end of the film tells the reason the unemployed can keep on life belief often because of family. Home is a pillar of their lives.

There are some reactions from people when the film begins. Some of them were sad, some were depressed, even someone hit the table on the spot. However, Ryan was calm all the time. This job let him special cold and ruthless. Cruelty of reality let him close his heart, so he never thought he was lonely.Natalie broke up with her boyfriend. She asked Ryan: “How can you not think about that? How does it not cross your mind you might want a future with someone?” however, Ryan insisted on his opinion, he didn?t need family or friends, a personal life is also very good. In Natalie?s eyes, the isolation and travelling was Ryan?s bullshit philosophy.

The scene of Julie?s wedding was not only the climax of the film, but also the turning point of the story.Ryan was sent to persuade Jim because Jim was afraid of marriage and future. Ryan thought he was not likely to be successful, because his work just to the contrary.But he did and encouraged Jim successfully. He asked him:” if you think about it, your favorite memories, and the most important moments in your life. Were you alone?” of course, Jim said no. so Ryan told him that life?s better with company and everybody needs a co-pilot.This conversation changed the view of family in Ryan?s heart.

Finally, in a speech, whenRyantalked about put everything we have into a bag, he

found that he couldn?t give up these things too. He left the stage and caught a flight to Chicago.He didn?t know Alex was marrieduntil he knocked her door.Ryan thought Alex is the person inhis future life, butAlex thought Ryan was just a parenthesis and her real life was her family.Ryan was disappointed very much.

Ryan finally got white gold card, but no excite. He could only use the card to give his sister a honeymoon travel. Then and there were many unemployed man say in their failure is family in the side has been support them, family wasmore important than money. Familywas their live power, support ofstruggle. ”Tonight most people will be welcomed home by jumping dogs and squealing kids. Their spouses will ask about their day and tonight they?ll sleep. The stars will wheel forth from their daytime

hiding places. And one of those lights, slightly brighter than the rest, will be my wing tip passing over.”These are the last monologue in the movie.Ryan once again came to the airport, in the face of three fan boarding gate, gently put down his suitcase.The ending is boundless. However,Ithink many people would have a question:”Which door or which flight can lead to his future?”

篇二：up in the air影评

电影改编自美国作家沃尔特·肯的同名小说。乔治·克鲁尼扮演的主人公瑞恩做着一项古怪的工作——替别的公司提供裁员服务，一年之中，足有三百多天，他得乘着飞机飞赴全国各地，替那些裁员的公司出面，与被解雇者谈话，将他们尽量体面但又干净利落地打发走，经济危机袭来，他更显繁忙，他也渐渐接近了自己设下的一项目标，积攒够一千万公里的飞行里程，获得一张航空公司的高级会员卡。就在他即将达成自己的愿望时，一个小小的波折出现了，公司里来了一个刚从学校毕业的女孩，她雄心万丈地，试图将面谈裁员模式改变为视频谈话，这显然会影响瑞恩那项在虚无中为自己设下的目标，更糟糕的是，与她搭档的经历，将他包裹在心灵外的那个麻木的壳剥落了下来。

最耐人寻味的，就是瑞恩对这份尽是差旅的工作的热爱，其实，他要的是一个逃遁之所，他不买房子，不结婚，不和周围的人发生深刻的联系，甚至和家人都保持适度的距离，为的是在空中架设出一个没有深刻的悲欢、没有情绪波动，不体味人间疾苦、远离一切危机的幻境。他喜欢旅馆那千篇一律的陈设，并且用一套圆熟的裁员技巧，用程式化的麻木，护住了自己的内心，阻止了被裁者和自己发生更多的联系。总之，他的人生，是精致的、忙碌的，却也是荒凉的、孤独的、没有根须的，疲于逃遁的。

如果能一直这样挪移下去，也未尝不可。但生活终究来敲门了，要激出他真实的反应，要让他看穿自己的处境。新人娜塔莉，处处都在和他对照，她设计出那套视频解雇大法，显然是因为她无法面对鲜活的人做出那些冰冷的决定，她必须将他们物化、影像化，才能将自己隔绝在他们的痛苦、绝望之外，然而当她看到那些人走下银幕，从他们办公室的窗外走过去，她还是无法安然，当她听到被裁者自杀的消息，更是濒临崩溃，宁可另谋他就。她给他的触动，远远超乎他的想象。

豁口一旦打开，城堡一旦开始出现溃败的裂纹，更多的内心动荡也要随之而来，妹妹的婚礼，令他体味到生活中那些真实的部分，那些带着烟火气的、落地生根的事物，向他发出呼唤。但当他掉过头去，试图把性伴侣亚历克斯发展为自己从空中落地的依据，却发现，他不过是亚历克斯为自己寻找的逃遁之所。

逃避人生，其实也是一种人生。但总有一种契机，是为断了当事人的退路而出现，让人从云端跌落。《在云端》提出的正是这种跌落的可能，以及跌落之后，无所凭依的难堪，让忙于奔逃的我们，暗暗心惊，并且惶然自审。

《在云端》，一部很朴实很简单的电影，但这样的透彻和浑然，这才应该是让那些以艺术的名义玩弄观众的导演感到羞耻的电影，因为这里有人生活过的痕迹和烟火气，而这些，我在中国电影中很久没有看到过了。

《在云端》的导演贾森·雷特曼此前最著名的作品是那部技惊四座的《朱诺》，他总是擅

长用戏谑的方式直抵我们心中最柔软最不希望暴露在众人面前的寂寥心绪，让人在影片面前有一种顾影自怜的愁肠百结。

瑞恩是一名奔走各地以代人传达解雇指令为职业的谈话师，他一年有322天在出差，于是在家的43天，用他的话讲是一种“煎熬”。与《玛丽与马克思》中那种独守蜗居式的孤独相比，瑞恩的形单影只更像是一种自我放逐。很有趣的一段对话来自他和姐姐之间的通话，在姐姐眼中他是将自己隔离在家庭之外，而他却说自己正在被“包围”着，于是这种在被陌生人编织的繁华簇拥下的孤独成为他最自在的生存方式。

具有反讽意味的是，瑞恩所面对被解雇者都不约而同地提及了自己的家庭，他们愧对的是家人的期待，同时来自家庭的呵护也将成为他们疗伤的港湾，与此相比，他那些励志的话语显得苍白而矫情。也许此时此刻被解雇者处在一个弱者的地位上，但如果换一个角度，瑞恩无人分享的人生才更加值得自卑。这一点他未必不知，所以他尽管在行为上逃避着家庭，但来自至爱亲朋的点滴托付他都不敢懈怠。当一切幻灭，这份永恒亲情能带给他重生的喘息。 爱情永远是生命中最大的变量，瑞恩依旧用逃避来自保，他在娜塔莉面前表现出的反爱的偏执实际上是来自内心的怯懦，这种外强中干的自我屏蔽注定在面对艾丽克斯的潺潺温情时会土崩瓦解，他们在面对彼此时所表现出来的潇洒和淡定不过都是一种伪装，只不过伪装的出发点不同而已。

瑞恩一直有一个愿望，那就是将自己的飞行里程数积累至一千万英里，从而获得航空公司的白金贵宾卡，也许正是这隐秘的动机支撑了他多年的独自奔波。但当最终机长将那张卡交到他手中的时候，瑞恩很平静，这种目标达成后的失落和茫然我们应该都体会过，此时此刻，在跋涉了一千万英里之后，瑞恩看到的应该是一个放逐的终点，在那里，可以让他驿动的心永远停泊。

But sometimes it feels like,no matter how much success I have,it's not gonna matter until I find the right guy.

但有时候我觉得如果我没找到命中注定的那个人，不管我有多成功都没意义。

Life's better with company.

有人陪伴生活才会更美好。

Everybody needs a co-pilot.

每个人都需要个伴儿的。

篇三：UP IN THE AIR对白讲解

在云端 Up In The Air

简介:

生命有不能承受的重。但如果有无“重”的生活,你愿意过吗?

赖安可以说是当下单身贵族的代表。高薪厚禄,学识满纶,举止不凡。工作就是常年飞来飞去为各地公司裁员,并偶尔做些成功学演讲。他对自己的“高空生活”非常满意,正常人深受所累的事业、家庭、爱人、朋友等等的人生之“重”他一概不重视,唯一的目标只是积攒一千万英里的飞行里程换取一张终身尊贵会员卡。

但是新人纳塔利的到来,为他制造了一点麻烦。她设计出一套互联网系统,让裁员只需安坐于办公室。赖安对此非常不满,于是他带上纳塔利一起去体验这份计算机无法执行的工作。 旅程之中,赖安发现这个表面傲气凌人、不解人情的小女孩,其实有着简单却细腻的感情,她对家庭、爱情和人生目标的质朴理解处处冲击着他心中那套对人、对幸福的反传统哲学。与此同时,与在机场邂逅的女子艾丽克斯的几次相遇,以及他妹妹的婚礼,都不断地让赖安审视自己的人生:不断的穿越长空、地域转移,人生还有什么记得住的时刻?于是这个男人决心安定下来,感受生活应有的分量,然而现实却又重重地给了他一记耳光??

这个世界越来越多人慨叹生活之累,生活之重。然而,当“轻飘飘”的生活摆在面前,我们又惊讶于那么多人宁愿选择生活的重负——例如家庭,例如亲人,而且,即使再苦再累,他们却能露出会心的笑容。

Weight & Weightless无负则无累

(Ryan is giving a speech.)

How much does your life weigh? Imagine for a second that you’re carrying a backpack. I want you to feel the straps on your shoulders. Feel ’em?

Now I want you to pack it with all the stuff that you have in your life. Start with the little things, the things on shelves and in drawers, the 1)knickknacks, the collectibles. Feel the weight as that adds up.

Then you start adding larger stuff—clothes, table-top appliances, lamps, linens, your TV...the backpack should be getting pretty heavy now. You go bigger. Your couch, bed, your kitchen table. You stuff it all in there. Your car, get it in there. Your home, whether it’s a studio apartment or a two-bedroom house. I want you to stuff it all into that backpack.

Now try to walk. It’s kind of hard, isn’t it?

This is what we do to ourselves on a daily basis. We weigh ourselves down until we can’t even move. And make no mistake...moving is living.

Now, I’m gonna set that backpack on fire. What do you want to take out of it? Photos? Photos are for people who can’t remember. Drink some 2)ginkgo and let the photos burn. In fact, let everything burn and imagine waking up tomorrow with nothing.

It’s kind of exhilarating, isn’t it?

(赖安在作演讲。)

你的生活到底有多重?假设一下你正背着一个背包。我想你们感受一下肩上背带的压力。感受到了么?

现在,我要你把生活中的一切都装进这个背包。从小东西开始:书架上和抽屉里的物品,小玩意,零零碎碎的东西。感受不断增加的重量。

现在开始往里装大点的物件:衣服、餐桌器具、台灯、日用织品、电视机??现在背包应该挺重的了。再装进更大的:沙发、床、餐桌。所有都塞进去。汽车,塞进去。你的家也塞进去——不管是个单房小公寓还是个二居室。我要你们把所有东西统统塞进背包去。 现在,试着走走路。是不是有点费劲?

这就是我们每天对待自己的方式。我们不断地给自己增重直到寸步难行。毫无疑问,生活就是不断移动。

现在我想把背包给烧了,你决定从里面拿什么出来?照片?照片是给那些记不住事儿的人

准备的。吃点健脑补品,就把它们烧了吧。实际上是,把所有东西都烧掉,然后想象一下第二天一身轻松地醒来的感觉。

是不是轻松多了

?

Love & Loveless 无爱则无乐

(Natalia talks to Ryan and Alex about her breaking up with her boyfriend.) Alex: He broke up with you over text message?

Ryan: It’s kind of like firing someone over the Internet.

Alex: What a weaselly prick.

Natalie: But what does that make me? Someone who falls for a prick.

Alex: We all fall for them. Pricks are 3)spontaneous, they're unpredictable and they're fun. Then we’re surprised when they turn out to be pricks.

Natalie: I followed him to Omaha.

Ryan: You did?

Natalie: I had a job waiting for me in San Francisco when he got an offer from ConAgra. He said we could start a life together. So I followed him.

Ryan: To Nebraska?

Natalie: When I was 16, I thought by 23 I’d be married, maybe have a kid, corner office by day, entertaining at night. I was supposed to be driving a 4)Grand Cherokee by now.

Alex: Life can underwhelm you that way.

Natalie: I mean, where did you think you’d be by um...

Alex: It doesn’t work that way.

Ryan: At a certain point, you stop with the deadlines.

Alex: It can be a little counterproductive.

Natalie: I don’t want to say anything that's anti-feminist. I really appreciate everything that your generation did for me.

Alex: It was our pleasure.

Ryan: Well done.

Natalie: But sometimes it feels like, no matter how much success I have, it’s not gonna matter until I find the right guy.

Alex: You really thought this guy was the one?

Natalie: I could have made it work. He um...He really fit the bill. You know? Ryan: The bill?

Natalie: White collar, college grad. Loves dogs, likes funny movies.

Six-foot-one, brown hair, kind eyes, works in finance but is outdoorsy...you know, on the weekends. I always imagined he’d have a single syllable name like Matt or John...or Dave. In a perfect world, he drives a 4Runner, and the only thing he loves more than me is his 5)Golden Lab. And a nice smile. What about you?

Alex: Let me think. You know, honestly, by the time you’re 34, all the physical requirements just 6)go out the window. Like you secretly pray that he’ll be taller than you. Not an asshole would be nice. Just someone who enjoys my company, comes from a good family. Because you don’t think about that when you’re younger. I don’t know...someone who wants kids. Likes kids. Wants kids. Healthy enough to play with his kids. Please let him earn more money than I do. You might not understand that now, but believe me, you will one day. Otherwise that’s a recipe for disaster.

And hopefully some hair on his head. But I mean even that’s not a deal breaker these days. A nice smile. Yeah, a nice smile. Nice smile just might do it. Natalie: Wow, that was depressing. I should just date women.

Alex: Tried it. We’re no picnic ourselves.

Natalie: I don’t mind being married to my career. And I don’t expect it to hold me in bed as I fall asleep. I just don’t want to settle.

Alex: You’re young. Right now you see settling as some sort of a failure.

Natalie: It is...by definition.

Alex: But by the time someone is right for you, it won’t feel like settling. And the only person left to judge you will be the 23-year-old girl with a target on your back.

(纳塔利向赖安和艾丽克斯说起与男友分手的事。)

艾丽克斯:他发个短信就把你甩了?

赖安:这就好像用网络来把人炒了。

艾丽克斯:(你男友)真是个滑头混蛋。

纳塔利:那我算什么?爱上混蛋的人?

艾丽克斯:我们都这么做过。那些混蛋都率真,猜不透也很有趣。所以他们展现混蛋的面孔时,我们都大吃一惊。

纳塔利:我是跟着他到奥马哈市来的。

赖安:真的?

纳塔利:我原本在旧金山获聘了一份工作,当时他得到了一份康尼格拉食品公司工作。他说我们可以一起开始新生活。所以我随他来了。

赖安:去了内布拉斯加州?

纳塔利:我16岁时认为,我到了23,就会结婚了。或许有个孩子,白天窝在某个办公室,晚上消遣一下。原本我现在应该开个大切诺基吉普车了。

艾丽克斯:生活确实可能会让人感到如此枯燥乏味。

纳塔利:我想问,你以前觉得你以后会??

艾丽克斯:这个对我来说可不行。

赖安:到了一定年龄,你就不会给自己设限。

艾丽克斯:有时会坏事。

纳塔利:我不想说任何关于反女权的话。我对你们前辈所做的一切都充满感激。 艾丽克斯:我们很乐意。

赖安:干得好。

纳塔利:有些时候我觉得,如果我没找到那位真命天子的话,不管我多么成功都毫无意义。

艾丽克斯:你真认为他就是真命天子?

纳塔利:我本可以让这成为事实的。他只是??他真的很合乎我的要求。你知道吧? 赖安:要求?

纳塔利:白领,大学毕业,喜欢小狗,喜欢有趣的电影,六尺一吋(一米八五),棕色的头发,

篇四：在云端Up in the Air影评观后感

Review of Up in the Air

I saw several films during the summer holiday. The most impressed me is the film Up in the Air, it was directed by Jason Reitman. The first night of it was on Dec 4th, 2009. At first, Up in the Air was a novel written by Walter Kirn. He wanted to adapt it for a film, but no production company was willing to invest in it, because most of the scenes of the film happen in the cabin. Coincidentally, it was found by Jason Reitman. Reitman loved it very much, so he added richer plots and lines, and adapted it for a film.

Ryan was the leading actor in the film, he was a professional conversion consultant, that is, he was a person who helped the companies to dismissal their staff members. This job required him to be very marblehearted and to fly to everywhere continually. He was satisfied with his unfettered life style, had no friends, no home, and kept his families at a distance. He said, “Make no mistake your relationships are the heaviest components in your life. All those negotiations and arguments and secrets, the compromises. The slower we move the faster we die. Make no mistake, moving is living. Some animals were meant to carry each other to live symbiotically over a lifetime. Star crossed lovers, monogamous swans. We are not swans. We are sharks.” He said that we should empty our backpack so that we can move fast.

Something had changed after he met Alex. And his sister’s marriage made him want to repair his relation with his families, and face up to his love to Alex. But Alex had her family already, and when he achieves his aim, he found that what he had was meaningless.

After seeing the film Up in the Air, I have thought for it seriously. I think most people can't agree with what Ryan had said completely. In our real life, many people hope that they can live relaxed, unrestrained, and free from all anxieties. But, it won’t be a happy life without difficulty or pressure.

I think, life just like a ship, was ready to carry things. If we carry nothing, then we will lose the focus, and sink. We need to carry many things besides love in the journey of our life, such as the job, the heavy burden of life, and the mishap. It's true that live with pearing a heavy burden is the state of live since human being's emerge. We need love in our life, the love our family and our friends give us gives us warmth, and it brings us happiness. We need goals for life, if no, our life will be voil. So, we need power. And the impetus of making progress comes from the pressure. Only when we let our life pear a heavy burden will it be full of pressure. Live without pressure, we will feel relaxed, but we won't feel the real happiness. On the contrary, we feel we live under the pressure, but we can get a lot.

In a word, I think the bag is the point of life. It's heavy, but it loads everything in the past. It's a treasure.

娜塔莉开发的远程裁员系统其实是基于一种远程办公的理念。那么，什么是远程办公呢？它又有什么优点和劣势呢？

Telecommuting：远程办公

Telecommuting, e-commuting, e-work, telework, working from home (WFH), or

working at home (WAH) is a work arrangement in which employees enjoy flexibility in working location and hours. In other words, the daily commute to a central place of work is replaced by telecommunication links. Many work from home, while others, occasionally also referred to as nomad workers or web commuters utilize mobile telecommunications technology to work from coffee shops or myriad other locations. Benefits:

Telecommuting offers benefits to communities, employers, and employees. For communities, telecommuting can offer fuller employment (by increasing the employ-ability of proximal or circumstantially marginalized groups.

For companies, telecommuting expands the talent pool, reduce the spread of illness, reduces costs, increases productivity, reduces their carbon footprint and energy usage, offers an inexpensive method of complying with the Americans with

Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), reduces turnover and absenteeism, and improves employee morale, offers a continuity of operations strategy, improve their ability to handle business across multiple timezones, and

hasten their cultural adaptability.

For individuals, telecommuting, or more

specifically, work from home arrangements,

improves work-life balance, reduces their

carbon footprint and fuel usage, frees up the

equivalent of 15 to 25 workdays a year—time

they would have otherwise spent commuting, and saves between $4,000 and $21,000 per year in travel and work-related costs (not including daycare).

Telework flexibility is a desirable perquisite for employees. A 2008 Robert Half International Financial Hiring Index, a survey of 1,400 CFOs by recruitment firm Robert Half International, indicated that 13% consider telework the best recruiting incentive today for accounting professionals. In earlier surveys, 33% considered telework the best recruiting incentive, and half considered it second best.

Concerns:

Employers largest concerns about telecommuting are: fear of loss of control; 75% of managers say they trust their employees, but a third say they'd like to be able to see them, just to be sure.

For employees, teleworking can negatively affect a person's career. A recent survey of 1,300 executives from 71 countries indicated that respondents believe that people who telework were less likely to get promoted. Companies rarely promote people into leadership roles who haven't been consistently seen and measured.

乔治·克鲁尼饰演的是一名叫瑞恩·宾厄姆的公司裁员专家，他的工作是飞来飞去为各地公司去解决麻烦，他人生的目标则是乘坐飞机积攒的英里数达到100万，从而晋升为白金会员。

但瑞恩这种“在路上”的生活方式却受到了新人的威胁，一个名叫娜塔莉（安娜·肯德里克饰）的大学毕业新生发明了一种互联网远程会议系统，让裁员变得轻松省事，也让瑞恩的工作显得毫无必要。正所谓不是冤家不聚头，瑞恩的新任务竟然是带领娜塔莉熟悉工作环境，他的飞行之旅终于有了个不那么和谐的伙伴……

瑞恩的工作让他必须经常面对各种被裁人员痛苦、愤怒和绝望的情绪，为了证明娜塔莉的想法是非常天真和非常错误的，他把娜塔莉带进他负责的一项裁员任务当中。但正当娜塔莉开始意识到自己的职业是非常令人沮丧之时，瑞恩却开始质疑自己的生活方式……
