"Up in The Air" (Chinese translation: in the cloud), is a film about life and thinking, a layoff consultant, if in a simple personal life and work, to understand the true meaning of life.

The simplest definition of film exploration: What is love? What is the meaning of life?

When we were born, we were a person, we came into this world crying, we grew up, we learned, we got married, we gave birth to the next generation, and then they grew up, they learned to marry, I retired and grew old, and my hair fell. It's gone, and then we all die.

Jim said in the movie: "

Last night I was lying in bed like that
and thinking about the wedding,
I couldn't sleep for
those ceremonies,
and the house we were about to buy,
moved to live together, and
had children.
One
Christmas after another , Thanksgiving
football games. Then the child grew up in a blink of an eye, went
out of school, got a job
and got married.
I became a grandfather
and then I retired. I
started to lose my hair and got fat. In the
end, I was dead.
"

Yes, he was afraid of getting married, but others told me He:

We ca
n’t slow down like clocks, we can’t pause where
everyone went last but it’s all the same

alone in that huge honeymoon suite, right
?
Yeah, very lonely
Life needs to accompany
everyone and everyone needs a co-pilot.

We will all be lonely, we will eventually grow old, although the result of everyone’s experience is death, but it’s more exciting. We should love and live. Although we may be unemployed, we will experience a lot of pain. Those who are unemployed say:

"I don't know what I should say, what makes me proud? I am proud of my children, I will say that without my friends and family, I will not get back on track. I need more time to find new goals. My child is my belief and my family."

"When I wake up in the morning , I looked back and saw my wife. This is the meaning of my life."

"It’s not entirely a question of money. Money can buy warmth, pay for heating, and buy a blanket, but it’s never as warm as my husband’s arms. "

Yes, there is nothing warmer than the embrace of your dearest person, is it?

Although our male protagonist is not with the person he loves, because when you play with life, life will play with you. You may be lonely. In fact, everyone will end up alone in the end, even if our graves are together, I am too. Staying alone in my tombstone.

I am lonely when I come, and I am lonely when I leave.

The protagonist finally said to himself:

Today, most people will return to their warm little home
to welcome the noisy puppies at home, the noisy children and
their partners will inquire about the daytime affairs, and
at night, they will fall asleep peacefully in the night.
The stars
slowly climbed out from hidden corners during the day,
and in the glimmer of the sky,
there would be a brighter one.
It was my wing,
blessing others, and passing by quietly.

Yes, what is love and what is the meaning of life? Everyone’s answer is different, the most important thing is whether you find the meaning of your life.
