Movies tell stories, but at the same time, they are not just stories. They are mixed with discussions about life, career, love, marriage, family, etc., which are basically compulsory courses for everyone in life.
Ryan is an employee of a layoff service company. He spends more than 300 days a year flying around to lay off others, and rarely settles down at home. Ryan is a single person. He pursues his own philosophy of life, disdains love and marriage, and believes that everyone will eventually die alone. He said that his "knapsack theory" is to teach people to "avoid responsibility". Not quite. If you carry too much burden in your life, it is difficult to walk, how tiring it is to walk, and it is life that can move. So, no house, no car, a suitcase, going to and from the cloud, Ryan's age is not stated in the movie, but I think it should be around 50 years old, his ideal in life is to accumulate 10 million miles on the plane. This kind of sloppy life attitude can't be said to be yearning, but it makes me envious. It's just that miscellaneous people and things should be thrown away at the right time, but can you throw away the best parts of your life, those who are your dearest and most loved ones?
My favorite character in the movie should be Natalie. She is a fledgling young intern who came to work in the same city with her boyfriend. She has a passion for work and wants to work hard, but she has theoretical knowledge but lacks experience. A set of blueprints for life planning, has a beautiful yearning for life, love, and family. It seems that everything is planned in an orderly and perfect way. I think it’s the same for everyone. It’s too young to think everything is too simple and beautiful, so I think it’s a good idea to replace the traditional face-to-face work method with the Internet. This is a higher standard of conditional assumptions, so after being dumped by her boyfriend, she burst into tears in public. She travels with Ryan to work and realizes that firing people isn't easy.
The interesting thing about the first half of the movie is that Natalie and Ryan have contrasts and conflicts in life, love, marriage and family. Of course, there is no reason for who is right or who is wrong. Everyone has the right to choose the life they want to live. Natalie reminds me of myself, I am in my senior year, I should plan my future and my life well. My life has just begun. Natalie said, "I don't want to settle down so early."
The second half of the movie actually feels a bit ironic. Ryan's singleness begins to shake. Natalie's influence on him is one of them. He doesn't believe in love, but he falls in love with Alex on his work trip, and invites her to his sister's wedding. She looked at the places she had been through. Love is something that cannot be met. No matter how perfect the plan is, he will slip away if it is not you, or even if you are a single person, you will fall into it when you encounter it. Ryan was sent on the day of his sister's wedding to persuade his brother-in-law, who had stage fright at the wedding, to tell him the reason for marriage and the value of marriage. Whether it was too ironic to let a single person talk about it, Ryan said, your most precious memory, your life The moments of happiness are mostly not when you are alone. He persuaded his brother-in-law, and in fact he persuaded himself.
The ending of the movie is beautiful and cruel. When he flew to find Alex, he wanted to give her a chance and give himself a chance, but found that Alex was actually a person with a family, and he was just a piece of someone else's life. That's it for the episode, so, the lonely guest at the end of the world, he returned to his life in the cloud. At this point he had accumulated enough 10 million miles, when he got the commemorative card, not much joy, but calm.
Through a series of conflicts, "In the Clouds" explores everyone's lifestyle. Although the content of preaching is heavy, it is a good movie that can lead to thinking. It is your freedom to choose how to live, but it also comes with a price. of.
10 million miles of good weather, even if there are thousands of styles, no one can tell, it will be somewhat lonely.
