The television trailer for "Up in the Air" depicts this fine film as a comedy, but the writer clearly points out the emptiness of a life without human connection. There are a number of funny scenes to be sure, however, the stark reality of George Clooney's dispassionate character--a professional job terminator--leaves one shocked and saddened by the consequences of his work, and the lonely life he leads. Rather than showcasing a Hollywood ending, or a Hollywood life, the characters in this film are real people, living real life, with its joy, tragedy, disconnection and the ultimate pain of George Clooney's character's failure to have built a life with real human involvement. "Up in the Air" provides outstanding writing, acting and directing for those who appreciate quality cinema. Just don't expect to leave feeling uplifted.
