The protagonist of "In the Clouds" is a person with unique values, which get rid of the simple definitions of workaholic and celibacy. 365 days a year, he spends 322 days on business trips. He himself summed up this kind of "trapeze" life as a theory that keeps life simple, that is, minimizes worries, called a "backpack." Theory", of course, we all saw it in the end, this is nonsense.
I have met many people who think they are different, including myself once. Their common feature is that they regard the red tape of daily life as a burden of life, and regard love and marriage as the fetters of self-development. They like to use it. Rhetorical questions to answer other people’s questions seem to be creatures from another planet. They always ask "Why?" about conventional things. In fact, the explanation is to cover up, and all the explanations are like speaking to himself. It is not so much as explaining to others, it is better to keep repeating the same excuses to himself. Persistence is the most important thing for people. This kind of people need persistence the most and are the most afraid of persistence. Even if your doctrines are like the reincarnated Buddha, and the worldly passions really want to entangle you, you still have nothing to do. On the contrary, the longer you persist, the stronger your sense of loss will be on the day when the values fall apart, and the harm to yourself is often irresistible. After George Clooney finally became the youngest million-kilometer passenger in the film, what he reaped was not the joy he had imagined, but a kind of irony.
The film brought me into a novel professional life. I had never heard of such a job of dismissing employees before. It depends on how shameless the capitalist is. You can imagine the life of the people in the film. It is of no avail to use a hypocritical chicken soup to make up for the wounds of the unemployed, but this product of the advanced stage of capitalism at least raises the cold freezing point, and I can't help but think of the 310,000 generation teachers and psychotherapists who are about to be fired this year. Is it more humane to public servants than a cold document.
At the end of the story, just like the beginning, the camera takes us to the clouds again, but we can only imagine the protagonist’s mood to embark on the journey again. "On the Cloud" is a rare film in 2009. I think he can win at least one screenwriting award at the Oscars.
The best way to deal with a self-centered person is to let him fall in love, and the same is true for old bachelors like George Clooney. But for young women, giving birth is not more than love. In case you really regret it one day, everything will not start over.
