Up in the Air-An unlikely loner!!!

There is a scene in which George Clooney is addressing an audience by asking 'What's in your backpack?' and has nothing to do with an actual backpack...It has to do with the burden that we carry on our shoulders in our day to day life without any necessity...That's how he lives his life in the movie....but the empty backpack signifies his loneliness more than his freedom!!
George Clooney's character Ryan Bingham is a lonely, but aggressive character whose life revolves around airports and planes...in short, the most frequent flyer you can imagine...I must admit that it excited me more than it should have because that's exactly what I would love doing...Anyways coming back to the story, Bingham wants to hit a number-10 million miles...no reason-just a number..and his job you ask?...it is to fire employees of various companies who are downsizing in the most strategic and effective manner...he has no commitment apart from his job, he lives his life out of a suitcase and seems happy in his rather empty life and happens to chance at a pretty female who he strikes an instant connection with!!...
Enters Natalie played by the very talented Anna Kendrick who wants to change the system of the company Clooney works for by firing people online and not having to travel all around anymore...Clooney's arguement-The Human Touch...and he takes Natalie across the country with him for a lesson or two in 'Firing management'...while he tries to manage his personal relationship with Vera's character!!!...
Won't give more away-but what unfolds is epic and in Clooney's own style it's just simply brilliant...
Definitely deserved the Oscar Nominations and worth a watch for sure....
I'm goin' with 4 out 5...
Keep Reeling!!!
