非常值得一看，可惜奧斯卡全軍覆沒，但仍不影響本人對這片的喜愛。

an other fuckup endin movie :tu:

how so?

i thought the ending was quite appropriate, refreshing and a true reflection of life. it's the very ending that makes this movie outstanding.

if the two ended up being together and lived happily afterwards i would've thought the ending was corny.

btw i totally can relate to clooney's character although i don't fly as often as him at all. and i can understand what the director was trying to say.

a deep and excellent movie overall.

畢竟年紀大了
我包包也很空,心有戚戚焉阿....

It's about the connection
 

Well, I just can't agree with you more...
You can see Clooney in the end of the movie. He dragged his baggage walk to the front of flight timetable, release the handhold, uncertainty is on his face...
He may lost the connection with the woman he loved, but I think he really have the connection with his little ex-colleague and his family in the process. (Sometimes you lost and sometimes you acquire.)
He is still back to the air, the place which he lived...

He says：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.

How poetic, isn't it?

看完某報載也是評審之一的陳沖, 評論老喬太帥是無法拿下下金人的主因
我只能說, 這種偏見還真是讓我對這種評審水準開了眼界 :jolin:

這部片子要是十年前的我看起來一定索然無味
現在的我看起來漸入佳境
裡面的對話真的心有戚戚焉
尤其男主角跟傳統妹在海邊照相對話的那一段
簡直輕鬆就帶出了四十歲與二十五歲因年紀在觀念上的懸殊差異
很棒的一段對話∼
細細品味裡面的對話真的字字珠璣

本片是我個人09年的第一名，同時也覺得是庫隆尼生平最好的一部代表作，不過讚美之辭已經太多，不需要在此重複，反而我想點出，以40歲以下居多的PCDVD網友，大概沒有注意到本片眾多主題曲中最重要的一首，也就是庫隆尼最後再度搭機飛上雲端時的be yourself（非同名的up in the air），原作者和主唱仍然是1960~70年代的英國民謠歌手Graham Nash，Nash今年已經高齡68了，比Eagles還老，然而這麼好的一部電影，最重要的主題曲，還是得找這種老傢伙才能寫出該有的韻味，再過10年怎麼辦？

Be Yourself by Graham Nash

How does it feel
When life doesn't seem real
And you're floating about on your own
Your life seems uncertain
So you draw the curtain
Pretending there's nobody home
Don't theorize
Look in your eyes
They can't tell lies
Though you may disguise what you see
The mirror is free
We once had a savior
But by our behavior
The one that was worth it is gone
Song birds are talking
And runners are walking
A prodigal son's coming home
Don't theorize
Look in his eyes
They won't tell lies
But if he defies what you see
He'll give you a key
Be yourself
Be yourself
Be yourself
Be yourself
We needed a tutor
So built a computer
And programmed ourselves not to see
The truth and the lying
The dead and the dying
A silent majority
Don't theorize
Look in their eyes
Are they telling lies
The ones that they learn on T.V.
What a way to be free
Be yourself
Be yourself
Then you can free yourself
Free yourself
See yourself
Then you can see yourself
Come on and see yourself
See yourself

沒辦法, 今年奧斯卡的大熱門片都太強了. HURT LOCKER和惡棍特工這兩部就夠屌了.
不過這部真的很好看, 尤其是最後一幕在飛機上目標達成那段, 實在是很有意義.
一輩子追求的是什麼?

不過那個機長阿公的鬍子實在太好笑了吧.

你就抱著一部片看一輩子吧....
