CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Ryan (George Clooney) tells the man he's firing (J.K. Simmons) that this is an opportunity to go back to the dreams of his youth.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Jason Reitman's adaptation of the novel Up in the Air tells the story of Ryan Bingham (George Clooney), who makes his living personally handing out pink slips -- he's the top hatchet man at a company that other companies hire when they are downsizing. And since business is booming, his job keeps him on the go constantly. He flies all across the country, staying in a series of nice hotels. And although this itinerant lifestyle prevents him from having any kind of stable, regular life, this doesn't bother him in the slightest -- he's thrilled to be a boy in a traveling bubble. During one particular layover, he strikes up a conversation with Alex Goran (Vera Farmiga), a fellow savvy traveler. They bond over the ins and outs of various airlines and hotels, and quickly fall into bed. By morning, they are figuring out when their schedules will allow them to meet up again, even though they both make it clear that there are no strings attached. When Ryan arrives back in the home office, he meets no-nonsense career-oriented twentysomething Natalie Keener (Anna Kendrick), a fast-rising up-and-comer who wants to change the company's practices and save millions by having the staff fire people remotely via webcams. Furious at the thought of losing a lifestyle he's grown quite comfortable with, he convinces his boss (Jason Bateman) to let him take Natalie on a few trips so that she can learn what it's really like to fire someone. Melanie Lynskey, Danny McBride, and J.K. Simmons co-star in this Best Picture Academy Award nominee.

I met him at a "meet and greet" in Detroit last Monday (4/6/15). I told him this was my fav scene of him and that I never thought anyone could talk to cute little Anna like that and have the audience acutally side with him. He said that he was somewhat intimidated working with Clooney on this scene (I was kinda shocked to hear that). But he said Director Jason Rietman had them interview real people who lost their jobs, and that excercise helped him play a more angry role instead of just sad. Really great guy, very approachable and down to earth.

@RichGwilliam 2 жыл бұрын

Honestly surprising, Simmons is a great actor in my books and many others - but then so I suppose is Clooney. It's got to be said though, while Clooney gets the admiring looks in this scene it's Simmons' portrayal of bitter shock and dread metamorphosing into grudging realization and hope that sells Clooney's character. It's a corker of a scene.

@@Chapps1941 Basically she's saying "Your daughter will be able to show up her dad and declare herself a success, on the back of *your* failures as a provider". The absolute cheek of such a statement, although it does hint at something quite interesting, albeit controversial: I think some kids like being the product of 'supposed' trauma, and being able to say "Yeah, my deadbeat dad was on mininum wage/couldn't hold a job. But look at me!!! I got out of dodge and made a success of myself!" It's an interesting dynamic in which the best interests of the parent (to have a sense of self-worth/value as a provider/bread-winner) is at ptential odds with the child (who can take the early material hardship, if they then get to frame themselves as some sort of rags-to-riches success story, and thus derive the ego-boost this narrative bestows on themself). Personally, I think every parent should be a success in order to 'punish' their entitled, arrogant, conceited brats.

I was 26 making $50k/yr when they fired me. I thought, what was the point of my bachelors if it just led to a job I didn’t even like. I then started working as a social media manager then moved to a digital marketing position and now I make $85k/yr and I got properties that add to that which puts me over 6 figs per year. I say this bc at that time my family thought I was stupid, my friends thought I was stupid and even I thought I was stupid for not going back and begging for my job back. Point is, when they fired me from that super stressful job that I thought was safe making $50k/yr, I was so unhappy that when I started working part-time as a social media manager I was literally making $16k/yr but enjoyed it, I wanted to get better. That’s why I’m good at what I do now and can make the money I make now and while work is still work, it doesn’t feel draining anymore, I actually like working and think about work even when I’m not working cuz I like it and I’m proud of what I do

I liberated myself after involuntarily retiring early due to a life-changing accident, lived for 5 years on a tropical island, then moved to a small mountain farm and am now a vigneron, a gardener and a wooden boat restorer - not a lot of money, but A TON of happiness & satisfaction.

This scene isn't supposed to put Clooney's character in a good light, nor is it supposed to be inspiring. It shows his talent at his job - feeding enough bullshit to the people he fires so that they're tricked to think of it as an opportunity and their anger is diffused for long enough that by the time reality hits them, they're too far away to do any damage to either their old company or to Clooney's character. Notice how he feeds basically the same inspiring story to everyone throughout most of the movie.

This scene made me watch this movie. And to keep following my dreams I don’t even ask for a raise at work I’m too busy focusing on my dreams and counting down till I get there

"Follow your dream", eh? I've heard that line before in similar circumstances. My response? "I don't have a dream anymore. You've taken it away." Then I threw their "packet" back in their stupid faces and told them to KMFWA.

Some people grow to love their job, obviously. George Clooney, having looked at the résumé, cleverly suspected that J.K. Simmons primarily took this job that he has just been let go from as a detour from his dream of becoming a chef.

For those who haven't seen this movie... Watch it and get used to this scene. Now, the real 'termination conversation' when there's downsizing is not as warm and heartworming as the one on this movie. But it helps to watch it. Do it if you haven't yet.

It’s not like bob can just become a chef at his age. He’s have to start from the bottom and then there’s the heads of practice that he didn’t do. I can assure you bob tried, but then quickly realized he’s way past his prime

@micahcook2408 3 жыл бұрын

Edward Gaines facts. And in some cases, like for artists, it’s harder to for art to be your main gig unless you live in an area that has a booming entertainment field. So the main career comes first with the art being second gig. But even then, I think that’s why a lot of actors, musicians, etc. invest in other properties and spread their wealth. Such a crippling system sadly, especially considering your money nor jobs go with you when you die, but assets and wealth do live on... the dichotomy of life itself.
