Up in the Air (2009)
George Clooney plays the dry cynical character of Ryan Bingham, an executive who specializes in "downsizing". Ryan lives out of his suitcase, traveling the country for the sole purpose terminating unwanted employees day after day. Just as Ryan is about to reach his life-long goal of the ten million mile frequent flyer mark some major changes come his way. Changes that threaten to crack the cold heartless exterior that is Ryan Bingham.

Good movie about how to be free in the modern corporate world. Tells an awesome story about not conforming to what you think others are expecting of you and just be happy. Love it.
I consider this one of the best movies of 2009, and its high up my list of best movies of the decade. It seems this movie came at a perfect time when all over the world but the United States especially people were getting laid off and tens of thousands of people had to look for a new job.

George Clooney plays the man who doesn't want to settle down and he found the perfect job to do it. He flies around America to fire people. While other people just wanna go as fast as possible from point a to b and see the airport as necessarily annoyance he enjoys every second of it. He has a lifestyle that sounds very appealing to me, no complicated relations, job or stuff that holds you down. Just go everywhere you want without thinking about what you leave behind.

Interesting fact: The director Jason Reitman put up an ad in a newspaper asking for anyone who recently got fired to speak about that experience. He told them it was for a documentary. So some of the people we see in the movie are people who actually got fired from their jobs and give a genuine answer to what they said when they were told they were getting fired and what they think is still important in their life.
