CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Ryan (George Clooney) has a wake-up call from Alex (Vera Farmiga) about what their relationship really means to her.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Jason Reitman's adaptation of the novel Up in the Air tells the story of Ryan Bingham (George Clooney), who makes his living personally handing out pink slips -- he's the top hatchet man at a company that other companies hire when they are downsizing. And since business is booming, his job keeps him on the go constantly. He flies all across the country, staying in a series of nice hotels. And although this itinerant lifestyle prevents him from having any kind of stable, regular life, this doesn't bother him in the slightest -- he's thrilled to be a boy in a traveling bubble. During one particular layover, he strikes up a conversation with Alex Goran (Vera Farmiga), a fellow savvy traveler. They bond over the ins and outs of various airlines and hotels, and quickly fall into bed. By morning, they are figuring out when their schedules will allow them to meet up again, even though they both make it clear that there are no strings attached. When Ryan arrives back in the home office, he meets no-nonsense career-oriented twentysomething Natalie Keener (Anna Kendrick), a fast-rising up-and-comer who wants to change the company's practices and save millions by having the staff fire people remotely via webcams. Furious at the thought of losing a lifestyle he's grown quite comfortable with, he convinces his boss (Jason Bateman) to let him take Natalie on a few trips so that she can learn what it's really like to fire someone. Melanie Lynskey, Danny McBride, and J.K. Simmons co-star in this Best Picture Academy Award nominee.

"I'm a grown-up, okay?" Most ironic line in the entire film. I love Clooney's reaction to the "What do you want?" question: no reply, just his eyes looking around the subway car. He wants to BELONG, to connect with another person. And Alex coldly dismissing him is similar to all the firings he did over the years. A quiet scene, but powerful.
the movie is good in so many ways ..
Similar to all the firings...nice allegory.
Good analysis
You nailed it!
Jfc, I've thought about this movie enough to write a thesis and I had never thought of the fact that he was being fired, that it was being turned back on him. Damn.
When did the term "grown-up" change to mean "capable of cheating on my family without getting caught"? Or did it always mean that? Cold as ice.
I feel really sad for the guy who married Alex. Sad.
No sympathy for simps who cuff thots
how do you know if alex's husband doesn't have anything on the side either?
Edify Salim Because it’s not shown, if it’s not shown, you gotta give him the benefit of the doubt.
why? she's not emotionally cheating on him. she's clearly devoted to her family. the affair was just a parenthesis like she said. her husband is neither lucky or unlucky. it would be best not to get cheated on, but there's no reason to think he's unhappy.
@@dailybls Interesting perspective. Would you be consistent with that if the genders were reversed? Would a woman be "neither lucky our unlucky" if her husband cheated on her during his business trips?
In that moment I felt his pain. Wanted to cry. To realize you are just a break from real life, that you were never really in...that is painfull as hell. This movie is made by adults, for adults. Who has lived a situation similar to this one, knows how powerfull that last call was. I have, and that movie was a wake up call. A heart breaking one.
You don't have to be a full grown adult to know what that feels like...
I've been in situations where I thought my relationship with someone was one thing and then it's revealed to be something else entirely. Can confirm that it hurts like hell.
Every adult has been in both Ryan and Alex's position. If this were real life, and we got Ryan's backstory, it'd probably be a story about Ryan getting a taste of his own medicine because he was in Alex's position once.
But it wouldn't be framed as karma or revenge; just a natural thing that happens among adults.
She’s worse than him…..he’s pathetic but she’s a disloyal loser.
We get Ryan’s backstory in a deleted scene. He almost died and decided to live life for himself
A parenthesis.... an escape, a break from our normal lives.... what a blow. Clooney can act !
Vera Farmiga nailed the character with her complete casualness and solid conviction towards her twisted intentions.
There I was expecting a lovey-dovey predictable door step in the snow reunion - and she has a family. Very good twist, didn't see it coming. Her attitude is deplorable, and perhaps so is his. They just play at love, neither giving it any commitment, then he gets hurt :S
boganus699 Yes I suppose he was. Took me a while to recall the conversation as I wrote this about 3 years ago.
boganus699 deplorable is probably the wrong word - but he was in effect doing what Anna Kendrick's character said and cocooning himself from everyone else until he found something real. So he wasn't being deplorable but he was being a little dishonest with himself.
@@nba_fan7214 No, deplorable is the *right* word. She deceived him, hiding the fact that she was married from him, but still expected him to somehow just *KNOW* that she was married and that there was no hope of anything serious between the two of them. Then she has the nerve to blame *him* when he pulls that romantic gesture?? How was he supposed to know not to do that when she didn't tell him she was married (and apparently didn't wear a ring)?!?
@@WestIndianAK Believe me, such self-righteous and self-opinionist women exists in abundance nowadays.
Akil Alleyne I think they were saying calling him deplorable was wrong. He was dishonest and cut himself off from people so he wouldn’t be hurt, hurt them, or feel overburdened. He didn’t want to feel unstable like the people he fires. Not to mention how him and his sisters just put their parents in a nursing home and honestly how that hurts even for the kids lol but yeah, she was definitely deplorable.... like wtf, why would you lie. Cause you’re bored? Lmao
One of the most underrated movies of the 21st century. Absolutely brilliant film all around.
"Up in the Air" is my favorite movie ever since I watched it. I find it is so rare to have a movie that has checked all the boxes: great screenplay with some of the best dialogues you've heard, terrific acting, amazing direction, the music, the cinematography (those aerial shots are just beautiful), the editing and most of all the unique subject matter. Each of the 3 leads actually had a scene that should earn them an Oscar really. Vera Farmiga with break-up via text scene, Anna Kendrick with the cocoon of self banishment scene and George Clooney with this scene. His facial expression somehow managed to capture the sadness, the confusion, the shock and the anger after what he saw at Alex's house. The moment when Alex asked "What do you want?" and he just said nothing because he was so lost on what he actually wanted and on the verge of busting into tears. I thought that was some brilliant acting. Such a shame, none of them won.
clooney knocked it out of the park with this movie. consider another excellent entry: The Descendants. Loved Loved Loved and i recommend.
"You could've seriously screwed things up for me; that's my family; that's my real life." Um, excuse me, Miss Thing; *YOU DIDN'T TELL HIM YOU WERE MARRIED WITH KIDS!!!* So how the hell was he supposed to know *NOT* to show up at your doorstep in some romantic gesture??? If you'd just *told* him what it was from the beginning, he'd have known not to do that...HELLOOOOOO!!!
THANK YOU
Their relationship supposed to be purely sexual, also why he has her address
@@millerfour2071 lol found the white knight
in grownup love affair, we didn't do the suddenly showup thing for surprise, cause 90% of the time it's show neediness, invading a space, and grown up has their own thing to taking care of so you may not be there at the right time. Surprise give, surprise gesture, surprise playfulness, spontaneous is fine but a surprise showup is a no no
Especially the way she talked about her ideal man... i thought she was inferring him to whisk her away but I knew something was up when he said, “I really like you” and she replied, “I like you too” .... lol
"You could have seriously screwed things up for me."
You've already done that yourself, lady. Clooney should have been a bro and told her husband.
And hurt the kids too? Like some jealous stalker, which he was in a sense? Nah, the moral of the movie is he needed to grow up and grow a soul. His life as about firing people, and that's no way to live. Now he karmically knew how it felt. He had hit rockbottom in meeting a fellow narcissist.
@@theIivingdead Spoken like a true 🐑
@@theIivingdead Yes. Human nature is screw everyone up.
Saw this movie over the weekend, i saw myself in George Clooney, just when he finally started to get the whole concept of love, commitment and marriage, etc. She totally turned the table on him. the movie was great, great acting all around. But i did not see that coming from her. It brings into account one aspect of my life i have always lived by. Never show up at another's house unannounced, or you just may get your feelings hurt. Great movie.
The thing it is that, Ryan was looking to be independent. When he was starting to realise that his lifestyle philosophy was not working, he wanted to approach her. But he forgot that from the very beginning he presented himself as a non-committment-man. She knew he wanted a short relationship, and he was clear about it. So when the Ryan achieved everything he was wishing for at the beginning, he no longer wants that, because he has nobody to love
So, I think that the one that was mistaken from the very beginning it was him. She just wanted to have fun. However, it is not right to not tell him about the family she had
I also did not see that coming from her since she said she was the female version of him... except that was a lie since she had a husband and kids. Even if he followed your "never show up at another's house unannounced" rule, he still would have had his feelings hurt when she would ultimately reject him later for the closer relationship he was seeking from her. Therefore, that rule wouldn't have helped him and if anything would have allowed her to deceive and string him along further until she would later reject him. By going to her house, he got the true reason for the rejection and not another lie to mislead him again.
If this were real, I would hope the Clooney wouldn't give up and find someone better for him.
@@jehriasean6379He now knows what he really wants. You can be a player your whole life, but the clock ticks for men, too.
At 43, I decided I needed to settle down. Great fun to do a series of one-night stands, but there comes a time...
I don't usually think Clooney is a good actor, but I was really impressed with his acting around 1.30. he said nothing, but his expression, his eyes, just said volumes. I'm hurt, I'm heartbroken, I want to make a life with you, but now I have no chance, I don't want to say it to someone who has been using me. And now my heart is in my mouth, and my brain is almost frozen in misery.
Yeah, he's a good actor.
That means he's an amazing actor dude
One of the best twists ever!!!!ClooneyFarmiga are really on fire!!!!
A break from real life? There are no breaks in real life. Life is constant with variables, but no breaks.
Pedro Portillo Well said Pedro. Well said.
You'd be surprised
Yes, women cheat.
Yes, women can be Sociopaths.
Yes, men have hearts too!
It's incredibly scary how good some women are at it though.
@@Phinal_Flash Scary, but understandable. They're naturally better at deception. They have far more to lose if they are caught being unfaithful. Before modern civilization, getting caught would probably mean death. If not, she'd probably be exiled from the tribe, possibly while pregnant or with a child to raise alone, and forced to fend for herself. Exile in any form, male or female, is basically a death sentence.
lol what she did is normal
@@moritzh8454 I know cheating has become a norm, but it's not something to be proud of and commit.
I think most reasonable people already know that....
I was absolutely shook when I saw the kids & heard her husband in that one scene. I was watching it on TV so thought it was a happy ending love story type movie. Definitely a big turn from what I expected. Love films like that!
The silence in this scene, is the loudest part of the whole film. Oof. Jesus...
"trying to understand what exactly that you sign up for" George Clooney deliver this line perfectly, sounds exactly like a heartbreaking man.
This is the best perfomance i have ever seen from Clooney. That look of sadness is so powerful. When Alex said "You dont even know what you want" his face alone told me what was going in his head: "I know what i wanted, i am just not able to tell you anymore".
I've always felt people misunderstood this scene - they talk about how this is some kind of karma thing against him, it's not. It's reaffirming his belief system. He mentions it earlier in the film when he is told it's the digital age and all firings are going to be done from a distance and he attempts to remind his employer that there is a human element that you can't capture through a video chat.
It's happening to him here. He's being metaphorically fired - except she treats him like he's nothing more than yesterday's paper to be tossed away and forgot about. She removed the human element from it, can't even do it face to face she does it in a phone call from a distance. He's reminded of the importance of his job and will now be applying it to his life (like with his sister)
RYAN is NOT happy in the last ten minutes of the movie. The relationship gave him a moment of clarity & realized his life was empty. In the final scene, you can see the emptiness in his actions & eyes.
He no longer enjoys his job.
She is so sociopathic that instead of just meeting in hotel rooms in secret, she showed up as his assumed girlfriend at conventions, with Natalie, AND AT A WEDDING. That is just disgusting.
Agreed 100%. She pulls all those stunts and never once tells him she's married or even conveys an ounce of shame or regret for putting her 'real life' in jeopardy by parading her unfaithfulness in public multiple times. And then she has the nuts to berate him for wanting a serious relationship because he apparently should have been a mindreader. He dodged a huge bullet either way.
She's seriously one of the most annoying and toxic characters in the history of cinema, I find her character disgusting indeed just because of how selfish she is
The true marker of a sociopath: leading victim on while concealing true agenda, placing blame on victim when something doesn't go the sociopath's way, gaslighting the victim's sensibilities and needs, denigrating the victim to make the victim feel like he/she deserved to be treated that way, not accepting his/her faults in the situation.
nonsense. she's just a human being. she hasn't even truly wronged him. it's immature and a bit narcissistic to call anyone who hurts you a sociopath. she owed him nothing, they barely knew each other. she also promised him nothing. they just had a misunderstanding. you're not very good at psychology, leave it to professionals.
@@dailybls Is she?
She has wronged him by being the instigator of an affair. By being the instigator of betrayal.
And what does she get when she's found out? A slap on the wrist. And what does the man get? A torn heart.
@@dailybls Are you kidding me? She went to a wedding with him, never informed him that she was married or anything about her double life.
Going to a family gathering & presenting yourself as “Ryan’s girlfriend” is sociopathic behavior. It’s like she was creating a second life for herself. (Possibly a second husband which some women have done.)
Exactly my ASSistant Manager right this moment. Can't wait 'till I finish my 3-PAGE report on her, detailing all the 9+ months of verbal, mental, emotional AND physical abuse she's done to me AND 16+ others, with other fellow Assistant Managers who are ALSO willing to speak up on my behalf, and sit down with the 2 big bosses and finally get this crap off my chest once and for all. Wish me luck!!
The best thing to do to someone like that is just run from them, dont even entertain the idea of "conversation".
Closure is necessary
I like this, because life is not a movie. It doesnt have a storyline, it doesnt have 1 and only plot twist, it doesn't have 1 and only message, 1 situation in life doesnt justify the whole lifetime or a story.
People or human change their minds, feelings get involved, the story justify clearly why he changed.
I see. People change their minds that's why also people cheat consciously knowing they have family and kids.
I rewatched the whole movie last night, and hadn´t rewatched it since i rented it seven years ago when i was in my early twenties. you know, it's funny when you watch movies like this when you get older and you find new meaning to the whole picture.
I rewatched it because the things that happened to Bingham with Alex have happened to me in so many levels. and i say this because some women whom i've tried to have something, i realized that they already had somebody in their lives, and neither one of them told me so, even i got stood up in some of those cases. I can even feel and relate to the estranging disapointment that Ryan is feeling at 1:32 i love the sincerity this movie portrays. this is definitely a guy movie for all those lone wolves in pain out there.
Bottom line is sometimes its for the best to be better off and spare yourself all the pain and commitment a relationship has. some people are not meant to be married or to have a relationship, and our generation knows it best. To close this, i'd like to quote Rust Cohle in True Detective: "Think of the hubris it must take to yank a soul out of nonexistence into this... meat, to force a life into this... thresher. That's... so my daughter, she spared me the sin of being a father."
Thank you. It's a very interesting take on this film.
I just saw the film again for the first time I saw it in theaters ten years ago. It's not easy to digest, but the film is very true to life in general. So beautiful, and yet so cruel.
Update: two years ago I finally dated to a crush I had on a girl Back in the university. We dated for almost a year, I literally bled for her and she used me for her own sake. She left me in July '19 and I've felt used and felt like crap for more than a year. She blocked me from social media like if It was nothing (typical from women), but I've finally moved on. A constant reminder that it's better off alone. I'm 31 and the older I get the fewer people I connect to.
@@chicobond89 I think it's important to remember that not all women are the same. Also, I think women tell you who they really are if you just pay attention.
And in the women defence I think she didn't really intend to like Clooney as much as she did. She probably wasn't sure what to do.
@@jehriasean6379 I beg to differ, but when dating someone with the best intentions shouldn't be used as entertainment or as parenthesis either. Yes, there are promiscuous men out there, but Men have hearts too and, despite our genre, we do cry and feel depressed like you do, but we do it on our own. Masculinity is frail, but it's always a lonely path.
Such a good movie. So many themes that are daggers to the heart.
Alex is one of the most evil characters I've seen in a film in a while. Honestly, to lead someone on like him, knowing his philosophies and everything, encouraging him to change, knowing damn well a future together would never be possible. And then to have no remorse when his heart breaks, even after all of the time they spent connecting with one another. What a cold cold character.
He has turned into an excellent actor.
depends on the director ..
He ALWAYS was and IS an excellent actor!
@@tomkat69pc Exactly. Thankfully, he never worked with Schumacher again.
one of the most heart wrenching lines in a movie, behind 500 days of summer
How dare she can say that's my family....the most fundamental thing about a family is commitment, if she don't have that then it's just an association that can be broken anytime. Certainly a family is more than a mere association of people. Any way it's just a movie not real
@@jimmylogan1866 of course not.....I have seen a lot
@@jimmylogan1866 first of all, this is the most realistic portrayal of a snake who happens to have a family. Not all family women or even men.
And why isn't love real? Are you telling me you havent had a single soul in your life who has loved you truly, be it an aunt, or friend or sibling?? If you have, then how is love not real?? In this case, it isnt a question of love is not real. It's a matter love not being in the picture at all, except only from Clooney's side and he was deceived into feeling that love.
It was one of the best movie twists I've ever seen... I mean yeah it was between the cards of the deck, but... wow...
She could have told him what it was, could have told him she was married and how far she wanted this relationship to go, they'd both be on the same page then. Why didn't she tell him? Did she think he'd guessed?
so why wasn't she adult enough to tell him she had a family? Alex keeps telling him all the little things she's feeling about having him around (including a deleted scene where she admits she thinks up things she wants to tell him about her day), which leads him on. but ultimately, she chickens out because she doesn't want her fun to end. she's having two relationships at one time.
the truth shall always set you free.
This is one of the my favorite movie scenes ever.
It’s executed perfectly.
In my experience, adults who use the phrase "I'm a grown-up" have severely sociopathic tendencies and are best steered well clear of.
Oddly enough, I didn't see her as a 'bitch' just someone who is coldly rational. So many guys I know get pissed when girls try to advance things and they (the guys) say 'all I wanted to do was hit." Interesting how the gestalt reacts when the gender tables are reversed.
***** You are absolutely right! Double standards everywhere!
Angie umaña
yes their are double standards in life but in this situation their are little to none if a husband was doing the something most men would think he was the male equivalence of a whore and loose respect for him but please point out the double standards you saw I wish to understand your train of thought
***** preach !!!!! she is acting like not seeking a seriouse relationship and cheating on your spouse is the same. That foolish girl.
funny how bitches see the world ..
It doesn't matter what gender you are; that's wrong for anybody to do that to somebody else
This has happened to both genders in real life.
This scene is so powerful and well written,that it connect deeply into anyone who has been in such a situation..Great writing I would say..
In other context it also relates to the job clooney carries out each day..
But, clooney in hia job cares about the other person and he expect the same here.. when hit direct,it pains.... A kind of instant rejection when u build up so much expectations...I have been in such situations and can relate to the pain..
“I will never see these laidoff people again.” - He doesn’t care.
Every guy has been blindsided emotionally like this in one way or another by a woman at some time in their life.
False signals, deception, get you to start really feeling something for them, and BAM - the kick to the gut.
True. I had this happen to me by a girl at work who is married. She was a little tease and flirt just looking to fill her attention void. Her husband probably had no idea she was like that..
No. It's never happened to me.
So true
@@mwloos1 how are you now?
Happened to me with a married friend. When I found out that I was expendable, I had feelings for her. Oh God, took several years and therapy to get over her.
This is basically chickens coming home to roost for Clooney's character. A life dedicated to protecting himself and living a corporate plastic life, working towards the ludicrous dream of having his name on a plane and meeting some 'chief pilot' whoever the heck that is. Now ageing and realising the utter folly of his meaningless existence he attempts intimacy with a fellow corporate shark. You can clearly see how his world and delusions are shattered when he realises what it's like to be on the receiving end for once.
He is given the same option he has been giving all those countless people he is sent to sack, 'take the deal, it won't get any better that this'. Her responses to him are as cold and calculated, void of any actual feeling, empathy or any semblance of humanity, as his own to scores of distraught people watching their entire lives and careers go up in smoke. The movie does end on an optimistic and humanistic note, you can always make a fresh start if you really want it. After all, it is up in the air.
Ryan's a player, a sociopath himself, until he grows up.
I think this is why I disagree with Alex's earlier idea that "By the time someone is right for you it won't feel like settling." When she got married she picked someone she thought was right for her, but she DID settle. And now she cheats on business trips. That's not how I would want to live my life.
true, true & true. There's only just one difference between the two characters. Clooney's character is single with everyting that entails, her character (i forget her name) is married with kids. Unless her husband is a total schnook he's gonna find out sooner or later.
Can she eat her pie and have it too? She's walking a very tight rope methinks
Alex
She should've been honest.
Why?
KhAoz Good point:) Both men and women can be dishonest AF
@@MrBraddles3128 what do you mean why??
@@Dancediva240 I mean exactly that. Why? She had no obligation to tell him if she was married and vice-versa.
@@MrBraddles3128 Because some people might not take kindly to their spouse being involved with someone, and could potentially visit harm on them. Duh. Also, some people might not want to involve themselves with married people. LOL @ asking “Why” to that question.
Some serious 500 days with Summer heartbreaking shit right there.
I wish he had just said, "Your mom's a parenthesis!" and hung up on her. Sure, it would have ruined the tone of the whole movie, but at least the leading character could have walked away with a tiny bit of his dignity still intact.
I think his silence preserved his dignity more than any comeback ever could.
I definitely think he still had his dignity. She was the one deceiving people, not him.
🤣
That would just be childish. Dignity is when someone accepts reality as it is instead of acting through emotions which Clooney's character perfectly did. Remember that he is not the one who is at fault here. So his silence perfectly dignifies his personality.
you have a pretty upside down idea of how dignity works.
you know you're dealing with an educated woman when she calls you a 'parenthesis'
Slevin ... lol my sentiments exactly... what's the point being educated when you have the heart of a snake...
Heh.
@@MsMimilala i dont get it, she's no snake. She owes him nothing. Calling people who don't love us back snakes or sociopaths is so childish and narcissistic.

"I'm a grown up . . .that has affairs"
How can a married woman with children go to her lovers, sister wedding n think I thought u know what this was to him .
Total villain
Jus kick me in the chest
Great ending. Not the predictable live happily ever after BS
that isn't BS, that is a reality of life but a beautiful one. This one here is a harsh reality.
Movie was filmed in 2008-2009, when social media wasn’t as big as it is today.
Cause in today’s time she would not add him on her Facebook.
OMG, you made me LOL 🤣
@@jenhallett5366 Lol I’m glad I could make someone laugh.
I’m reading my comment again not knowing exactly what I was trying to say lol 😂
@@josecarranza7555 I get what you're trying to say (at least I think) and it's very true. It just cracked me up.
@@jenhallett5366 I remember now.
Basically that in today’s social media world we live in, she would not add him on Facebook, and would probably have it private since it has her family in it.
the ether...the shit that makes your soul burn slow...
Great film! On a positive note, it’s better to be a parenthesis than a footnote or the appendix!
Stuart's philosophy just backfiring on him. Thought he could just be friends with benefits but can't help falling in love.
you are a parenthesis....damn that's cold af
All these movies end the same way. They rarely bring up false allegations, child support, and alimony. That’s the true ending to most of these romantic comedies.
I was thinking all the movie I wish I could find a woman like Alex until this thing happened.
Just be glad you didn't find that woman and watched this movie instead
The only message I got from this entire movie is don't get married and don't get involved with women to avoid your heart from being broken T-T.
So ur a grown up and u cheat on ur spouse? Ummm ok
yes, that happens when you're a grown up. it's not the end of the world. not a nice thing, but not a tragedy either. grow up yourself.
Just because its normal doesnt make it right. I dont like it so I'll stick to my morals. If ur ok with buy all means go on ahead. So yeah I did grow up, but I do have standarts. ✌
delusions are like perspective: they both lead to a vanishing point
Wow! It really hurt to see Clooney's 'about crying' face, on paranthesis... >8("
It's tough being compared to a punctuation mark :(
Dating up someone outside your social circles where people have known each other for awhile may look and sound adventurous and romantic,but it's very risky and dangerous. .You have no Idea what you're dealing with...
That was about as cold as it gets. Especially when you do that to someone who is a genuinely decent guy. A person can't willingly choose to "sign up for the same thing" if they are completely unaware that you're married. She was a tool and narc in this scene.
they have not exactly started a romance, it was a sexual affair and he asked no questions. she is certainly not a narc.
I just had this pretty much happen to me... Awesome feeling.
in what side were you on?
Sorry.
This is one depressing movie (I couldn't believe the DvD described it as a "comedy") but this and the preceding scene sure were powerful
i didnt want to see this movie at first but i sat thru it and i left the movie theater happy this is a wonderful movie.
Happened to me. Was in a long-distance relationship and drove 1500 miles to surprise her. I got the surprise.
When I was a kid, this movie was the definition of "too adult for me"
The philosophy of this film is priceless. In the end, Ryan realizes he should of listened to himself and that close relationships can hurt you and slow you down more than just avoiding those commitments
I feel that Ryan is just like any human being who thinks themselves immune to the idea of love for whatever reason, like he was acting with Anna when he asked her to sell him the idea of marriage and he was just scoffing at everything she said bout love.
In the end he met a woman (a snake really) who grabbed his heart and he went against everything he had told Anna because at the end you are human. You can act like a cold stone but you have a beating heart that is more capable of emotion that you think.
Right but without close relationships your life will feel meaningless if you yearn for true connection. She was his wake up call, just as he claimed to be for so many people before. Just like him she wasn’t gonna be a part of his future, but she sent him adrift to hopefully better shores.
RYAN is NOT happy in the last ten minutes. The relationship gave him a moment of clarity & realized his life was empty. In the final scene, you can see the emptiness in his actions & eyes.
How could they sign up for the same thing when lied about everything. If he was just a fling, then why act like she actually liked him?
If she was a grown up, she would have said, look I'm married and have kids, so we can smash, but that is as far as it goes.
But she didn't do that.
“I’m a grownup “ ..says the woman who would rather cheat on her husband then have a conversation w him about how to fix their relationship or part ways like an actual adult 🤔.
If you notice,
It’s the classic turnaround.
She’s the married man and he’s the mistress.
she could tell him about her family before, that's all
I have over a million miles on United. There were years when I was more at home on the airplane than at home.
I only have about 680,000.
Dude you literally touch down once then run even fly away like the sub that comes up every other ocean what do you expect, if you’re all about these “situationsjips” this movie is all about it
I was a parenthesis once. Once.
+bearjew perfect response
I rather be a bracket!
Lately I've been seeing alot of cheating post on reddit. Already on the verge hating women. After this movie, i feel like I completely hate them. Like tf man. You got kids, husband, a beautiful family and yet you still out there cheating. I really really feel sad for married men.
1:12 that facial expression
This movie is too grown up for me man.
Too real
So he was correct with everything he said at the beginning of the movie.
"You Are a Parenthesis" - I will be using that line. I don't know when. I don't know where. I don't know with whom I will use it...but I will use it.
just choose a track and DO NOT CHANGE COURSE.
1:28 Lol at movie characters who don't say "bye" before hanging up to increase the dramatic tension.
+Spuds7er I wouldn't say bye to that bitch.
If you have ever been in that kind of phone call you would know sometimes there really isn't something better to say than staying quiet.
This movie was great but it was basically a remake of Smokey and the Bandit.
I cannot even communicate to you all how much I identify with this scene...
Him: "How come you didn't tell me you had a family?"
Her: "Look, that's my family. You really could've messed things up, really bad."
I love this movie, but seriously the writing in this scene always bugged me. (Not the acting, of course.)
It would be a great job to me, to be a parenthesis to you George... 🐱😆
"You're cold. You are all cold at heart." - - Daniel, The dermatologist - -
Cold blooded cheater .... She nailed the role
I just wished they had played the song “ Come fly with me” as sung by Frank Sinatra
"that's my real life..." . She sure didn't think the moaning and screaming in between flights was fake!
I remembered now. Kendrik’s words finally got into him. I thought at first they were just having a no-strings attached relationship until he finds out she was a married woman all along. So to be what Kendrik’s advised before him was never gonna happened. She wasn’t a single woman too busy with career, she was a married woman having an affair with him on the side. Yeah that sucks.
clooney is such a good actor
Imagine hearing this? It's brutal...
I like that Parenthesis thing, they called me snack lol
Lol! Realities of married life..😂 Imagine marrying knowing this is real life..😂😂😂😂
He wants what every man wants. When he comes home, he wants a good woman that smiles at him.
Where is the scene where he shows up at her door? Can't find it
I remember my Grade 3 teacher saying the same thing.
How did he know her address? Why would she give it to him? That would be stupid.
Ive been a paranthesis before. Most painful thing ever.
