I just rented "Up in the Air" on netflix and I haven't seen a movie I liked so much since Saved! It is great when a that a movie can unintentionally reaffirm your life choices.
In this movie George Clooney lives a nomadic independent life. He enjoys that life and creates a philosophy of independence. When he meets Vera Farmiga in a time when his job is in limbo he decides it is kismet and time to settle down. Not to give too much away but he ends up broken hearted reinforcing the correctness of his philosophy.
Im not looking for love. People I do let into my life tend to hurt me. Does being uber-independent make me an asshole? Is the occasional loneliness worth it? My backpack is pretty empty and I love it. Maybe others don't and I understand that, but for me I am pretty happy.
I highly recommend this movie.
