CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Ryan (George Clooney) tells Natalie (Anna Kendrick) about his goal of earning 10 million frequent flyer miles.
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.

0:14 Oscar for sound editing
This film was amazing. Particularly how they put two people together who work in complete opposite positions in their life.
Gee, there's never been an odd couple base as the plot for a movie before.
@@CrazyMunky84Get over yourself
It's bad.
@@CrazyMunky84I know. Someone should make one!
@@scottslotterbeck3796 They could even make one called 'The Odd Couple'. Wouldn't that be something?
this philosophy is strikingly similar to xbox achievements.
elaborate?
“My goal is 10 million gamer score”
Bwhahahaha amazing comment
THEN they turn-off the server, the game disappears & so do all your in-game trophies, property, etc
It is and it isn’t. He doesn’t need to spend a hours on some gaming trophy to just order the full $40 meal allotment. Unless his company has some sort of reward for spending less, he would be cheating himself out of rewards for no reason.
It’s basic incentive. This girl just doesn’t know how to game systems for her benefit. And if you’re not doing that, that system is gaming you.
He's banking on the idea that the airline he has all those miles with won't suddenly go belly up or change their policies and undo everything he's worked for over the years, the same way all the people he fires had put their trust into their big company to reward their years of loyalty and hard work. They all thought the company would take care of them and their work would amount to something tangible. Instead he's hoping for his name on the side of a plane that nobody will ever read or care about and will probably be erased in a year or two
Definitely. I think the point of this scene was this
You're stretching to find some sort of parallel that isn't there to try sound profound on youtube.
🙄
@@nathand4500Hypocrisy can be profound at times.😅
The company paid for all the flights.
You know what I like about Clooney? He just fits everything he's in. If the material is even passable, he's great. He's an absolute rock of an actor.
Really? Like Batman & Robin?
@@craigsimpson1230
That's not passable material.
The writing on this film is just fantastic.
Yeah, do you know who wrote it?
No it isn't.
low standards, much?
Y'all are laughing at him, but none of you have experienced buying a long haul Premium Economy fare on British Airways and after everyone has boarded, the flight attendant walks up to you with a glass of champagne and says "I have great news Mr C, we had a last minute cancellation in Club World so we can accommodate you" and you walk up front. Gold Status.
Gotten upgraded to First on a Red Eye on United.
I used to have some status a while ago and I enjoyed the perks, too.
But the ridiculous thing about our hero here is that he hoards bonus miles - a totally soft currency an airline might devalue at will any time.
So even when I was quite aware which flight, car rental or hotel stay would fetch me miles, I would never let them get old (they don't earn interest either, you know...) but used them.
And in fact, they tend to lose value over time. 20 years ago, Lufthansa miles were pretty good currency - last time I tried, however, I could not exchange them for flights where I wanted at times I wanted - and the fees I would have had to pay along with the miles weren't far from a cheap ticket price elsewhere.
So I decided to swap my last miles into a fat shopping voucher for groceries to save them from expiring and never looked back.
Many, many (many) years ago, I did some HORRENDOUS travelling in my job. After leaving the military on a high note backed by two university degrees and a stint in Special Forces, I quickly transitioned into an amazing role for a multinational arms dealer.
I was similar to George Clooney's character however, I wasn't quite at that number of miles....not quite.
Saying that though, I was at the highest tier level on all my travel service providers (airlines, hotels, hire cars etc). I would be regularly upgraded at a whim with no questions asked. I dressed in suits and took pride in my travelling style and appearance.
I knew most of the travel industry staff across many cities by first name and would regularly buy them Christmas and birthday gifts and souvenirs from foreign shores as thank-you presents for their service and support.
For personal travel, the staff would automatically upgrade me to the best suites at reduced rates, although I tried not to travel on my time off.
I remember the looks I would get from other travellers as I would skip queue's, have priority seating and get the nicest of hire cars. I was even at the point where several hotels took my photo and had it laminated at the front desk counter so that new staff would know my name and know which room I was to be checked into.
What people didn't see was the sheer slog it took on a monthly basis to maintain such a rarified status.
As the saying goes,
"The grass is greener on the other side, but what is the water bill like?"
On the surface things looked great, mid to late 30s, awesome high paying career, bordering on Tony Stark levels of military equipment, jet-setting around the world and enjoying the finer things in life.....but my home life was suffering. My wife was in the first trimester with our second child and I was sometimes only home on the weekend....if I was in country that is.
Anyway, I had a silver bullet moment when one one particular day each of the staff from airline to hire car to hotel asked by name how my wife's pregnancy was going. I hadn't thought about my wife for well over a week due to my current project worth millions. These "strangers" knew more about my home life than I did.
I realised that everything I thought I was working for was in danger of being lost....and it was totally my fault.
I decided then and there that my family was more important. I quit my job at the end of the one month notice period and changed industries. I thought I would regret it.
Once our second child was born I took my family on holidays to where my wife always wanted to go and I burnt through 3/4 of my miles in a few weeks. The remainder I gifted to my brother, the travel admin staff at my old work and my 50yo neighbours who had been unofficially supporting my wife while I was away.
I started in a new role with zero travel. It was a bit of a paycut but I was home every night. My wife was happy and with a new baby, it was the antidote I needed for the gnawing hole inside me.
When this movie came out, it was a bit of nostalgia. It really hit me....
Just the other day I took my first flight for work in over five years...stuck down the back in cattle class in-between two grumpy travellers. I had the biggest smile on my face as the flight attendant ignored me and my companions bitched about how good it would be at the front of the plane.
Safe travels everyone.....
This was amazing to read 🙂
That’s some good fiction mate
I didn't read, just came to comment to say this is waay too long to read. Have a good day tho.. 😊
Wow, a whole autobiography
Great story!
Keep in mind he must have 9 million 900 thousand something miles by now in the movie, and knows that in the next couple of flights he would hit his target.
great film. WAtching it again as I am older, it just showcases so much more colour in the differences between two individuals lives.
Only thing wrong with this scene is that he says his goal is 10million miles. However most airlines will only give status for actual miles flown, not for buying lunch/dinner etc. You still get miles for buying food etc, but they don't count towards status miles (which is what he was aiming for in the movie).
Tokyo Channel
Not only that but holding on to miles is stupid when airlines are constantly devaluing. The name of the game is Earn and Burn.
Used to be true but now it actually is possible to earn loyalty miles, which contribute to status, from credit card spending
Miles and tier points, 2 different things. On some programs both can be earned from non-flying spend.
In the old AAdvantage program all miles counted towards lifetime status.
Total miles are used by most airlines towards certain lifetime status, not miles in your account at a point in time. Depending upon the airline that "lifetime" status is provisional as you must continue to fly to maintain the status. In the movie Mr. Clooney was trying to achieve lifetime executive status on American yet American does not give out lifetime status above Platinum Status which I have but Platinum used to be their top status now it's the 3rd
I rewatch this scene whenever I’m having trouble picking a flight. It’s amazing that we get to fly. We’ve made an insane chore of it, but at its heart it’s an unbelievable gift.
Very underrated post. I live on an island (Hawaii), so I try very hard not to take flying for granted.
Too bad we wiped out many bird species doing it
@@jonathanbirch2022 which species have we wiped out?
yes
@@jonathanbirch2022 I am happy with that trade.
As someone who travels for work. The miles really take over how think about things
“If I had that many miles, I would go to an airport, pick a destination and go”
“And that’s why no one will remember your name”
Achilles’d
Unless you're Michael Jordan....who does?
And at the end he did just the same as what she said. Touchy touchy
In the books he has terminal cancer and donates his air miles to a children's hospice.
That's cool, I didn't know that. I liked the film version though, lots of ambiguity left at the end - it didn't make him in to a hero or a villain...just a guy.
The book was way different than the movie.
Is that why the air hostess says Cancer? Can sir?
The book was horrendous.
Mike Reed how so
Why is that chick so angry queuing at Hilton lmao
to be fair to be in a club more exlusively than the number of people whove been on the moon is a pretty cool goal
Sure if you ignore all the pilots who have surpassed 2 million miles just by doing their job. Or the other people who hold the same status with other airlines
I flew a ton for work earlier in my life, domestic and international. Racked up miles to fly when I was already flying. It had its moments but hard life
That a Michael Clayton line! LOL
Definition of Product Placement!
It's funny she " you guys a hard on from putting your name on things it's like you have to pee on everything
Franz Huber ?
It's because we are deemed worthless if we don't achieve. Remember that movie with the "you must close" speech? Well, you either close or you die.
Funny line.
Great clip from a great movie .
I am this guy. I fly more than I’m at home. I so love it. I feel odd if I wake up at home. Enjoying life to its limits. No chains. I’m blessed.
Joe Smith guessing ur not married. Smart man if ur not
Have you even watched this film? He's clearly not happy
what do you do?
@@tamjidmiah2049 he was happy till he met that blondie
@@alisafeerhyder1994 he was ignorant and blind until he met her. She woke him up.
My goal is to one day be as cool as George Clooney.
So? How it coming?
@@strenifstrecs2551 looks like he is content to diving like Neymar
yo, is you going to answer streni or what? him axed you a serious question.
10 years later- how's it going?
I don’t know why I love Anna’s delivery of “…I’m dying to know” I can’t tell if she’s being genuine or sarcastic… or both.
I tried to do this at a Hilton. I was told to go to the back of the line
That's because it was a Wendy's
I’m lost here, all those dishes for 40??
movie was made in 2009 when prices were cheaper, also he might be using some Natalie's $40 too for all the meals.
0:10 - this is how you do product placement right.
Anyone else find it annoying how she asks about his goals, then proceeds to belittle them as he shares... What a piece of work
Good looking women can get away with murder.
Have talked to many people who live in Holiday Inns...they have no actual home.
That's me at :20 in glasses and business suit. Actually had real lunch with Anna mid-day during the day of shooting. Nice girl.
Why are you lying 😂
Why would he lie about being an extra
@@WELLHELLOMISSAMANDA I've done it.
I have several friends who work for various Hollywood studios. It isn’t unusual if you live in Southern California
I'd let him get to 9,900,000 then put him on the No Fly list.
Mathemagical55 I mean, by this point in that movie he should have that amount considering a couple of weeks later he makes it to 10M
Than I'd fire you if I was your boss and put him back on the fly list.
then he might actually become a serial killer with a count in mind and start with you 😂
I love collecting miles but that is because I love redeeming them. This guy just collects them to collect them and doesn't even spend them.
It's that elite status. I'd love to travel that much. Been to 35 countries, but so much more to see. And Covid cancelled my trip to Chile.
brilliant sir
I'm the same way with Latitudes points on Norwegian Cruise Line: the points are the goal. Next week I'm going on a five-day cruise which will yield triple points and put over the threshold for Sapphire status. That will get me a bigger discount on excursions on my 11-day cruise in August to Norway and Iceland which are very excursion-heavy. Not to mention Sapphire status qualifies you for big perks on board like pretty much being able to get a table at dinner whenever and whenever you want.
I do airline miles as well; this will be the second summer in a row where I've gotten the flights to Europe for cruises for miles.
I rather convert the points/miles to cash
Yeah but I have ZERO interest hanging around 5,000 other disease-ridden people in a top-heavy boat. Small boats are OK. My Antarctica cruise ship had 82 people. Perfect!
@@scottslotterbeck3796 well, if I were a millionaire I'd buy a yacht.
In the book, he was trying to reach his goal even though he was only flying within the border of the US.
Even if he been in that job say 25 years, working say for 50 weeks a year, he would need to hit about 8,000 miles a week. I don't know if that's doable because I don't get miles on my card.
@@KMcNally117 he may have gotten miles by using his credit card (?)
Three plates of food per meal 😂
Same as movie. All domestic.
then why did Clooney know what to retort to?
the best movies
Life before covid
or to any hobby really
All those dishes for only $40?
Life was better fifteen years ago.
@@jshepard152much more affordable.
@@MikeNapoli1989Before Biden.
I didn't get the part where he correlates why he eats a lot while traveling and how it connects to his miles. Could someone explain?
He probably was able to keep all miles he gained by using corporate credit cards or other frequent flyer programs. Many restaurants, hotels and car rentals work with airliners and give out miles.
The company gives him a set amount for food, let’s say $50. If he only spends $20 he will get less miles than if he spent the whole $50. So he rather spend the $50 even if it means not eating everything. Since he travels so much, it does make a difference
@@emartinez2740 Thank you for clearing that up. I never got that until just now
He can always wrap it up v and take it to his room. But if he gets miles for breakfast and more, maybe give it to a worker or homeless or just a random person
On cruises they give free food. I order three plates, sample all of them, but don’t finish (too much food). Clooney is doing the same: ordering all the free food his company provides
I use to be like this😂
Anna is a lefty. I had no idea.
Gorgeous.
lol
I had no idea women weren't afraid to die. Lucky baby-makers.
I have a child. My wife can’t have one without help and I am very pleased to help. I run more miles than I fly.
How much did Hilton pay for that?
It's part of the plot, likely nothing. But they probably gave some perks just for the hell of the advertisement..
And to think Marriott turned down their initial offer
did miles not expire back then?
Not as long as the account was kept active.
Oh sure, when George Clooney talks to a woman and gives her a pamphlet it's awesome, but when I do it I'm looked at as a creeper. Life sucks.
Cecil Clyde Houck Dude piss off.
nice one Chris! Wanna come over next Saturday and crack a cold one with the boys?
©looney sucks, not you
$40 for dinner? That’s freakin awesome.
Did you do it with that smooth voice?
When men choose career and personal goals over family, it's "childish" and "pathetic."
When women choose career and personal goals over family, it's "stunning," "brave," "ambitious" and "empowering."
Why the difference?
Really? Let's ignore the media for a second. Women tend get chastised over not having children just as much. I'd say everyone does. The balance just depends on where you live, i guess.
And I’d say now, more than ever, humanity (specifically in America) has embarked more on individualism, self-importance and practice, self-love, and fulfilling ones goals... I get what you mean, but I think everyone is dealing with wanting the fulfill their destiny AND the possibilities of raising a family... it’s just what Vera Farmiga’s character talked about “at a certain age you tend to just want to find a good person”.
Feminism is the problem.
No when woman choose to be childfee and focus on her career she's "neglect her purpose" and "selfish."
Erm according to liberals women have to be butt naked to be empowered; what planet are you from?
That's why you won't ever have that many miles
When someone asks you when are you going to sell your stocks and actually realize profits “the stocks are the goal.”
Age 70… retirement.
those frequent flyer miles are a fast ticket to a brain disease :D
Whoa this is Oscar material. What happened that year?
Nominated for 6 Oscars, and won none.
Oscar bait movies won that year
She's got a point though! Lol
Not really. She has her preference which she is stating as an absolute fact while indeed belittling his goals.
He's got 10 million
She really would not just go. She has work/mortgage/payments and the comfort of her hometown.
My first Anna Kendrick movie... *sigh*
Had lunch with Anna the day of shooting. That's me at :20 in glasses and business suit.
“10 million miles? That’s so immature!”
-me (with almost 100,000 Gamerscore)
That woman, on the line at the beginning, is the one I picture in my mind when I see or hear the word 'cunt'.
In real life mileage has expiry dates
Nope! Not if you stay active. Plus 10,000,000 miles WILL be rewarded.
Anna does a great job playing an unlikable character lol
More misery this way
I have a hard time believing that someone who has flown millions of miles and orders multiple dinners per day isn't overweight and out of shape.
He doesn’t eat all the food. Just buys it for miles.
Movie stars don't gain weight. Look at Marlon Brando or Orson Wells.
Looks first! Lady yells at guy for having a turn haha. Just saying. Probably why there is that need to travel (be away) in the first place. Many times dealing with chicks want to just see how far can go (away.)
Except that half of a baby's DNA comes from the father, no?
A really entertaining film undone by some unfortunate casting. Vera Farmiga is great, but Anna Kendrick just doesn't fit.
Her role was an annoying arrogant woman. She lever dropped character
Yep.
What a waste of life, tbh.
You meet a pilot and your name goes on a plane...wowwee, who gives a flying F. What a lame goal.
The novelty of a plane that can fly for roughly 20 years. around the world, being with your name on it. That doesn't seem like anything to care about.
But what is in a name? What if everyone just called you Blank from now on. Now that probably offends you, so in reality, a name does matter to you and you get to travel 10 million miles for the rest of your life.
The novelty matters in some way or another.
You have no idea what lifetime executive status means to someone who is more hours in flight than at home.
I would not turn it down.
So stupid if you have the money to fly all that why dont u just save it to buy a smaller plane or something....
Typical Karen complaining about something she can easily afford if she made the effort to pay.
This should have been a deleted scene.
Writing for the female character is pure cringe.
Also, no American at dinner , once dinner is served, stop to watch their food get cold while they muse trivially.
They just don't make movies like this anymore.
Not to mention the environmental degradation his accumulation has made along the way.
No. The plane was going to fly whether he was on it or not.
such horrible writing. nobody talks like this
You wouldn't watch a movie with dialogue that was realistic. Realistic is boring.
Great writing, but no, few talk like this.
Men get such hardons from putting their name on stuff you guys don't grow up, it's like they gotta pee on everything.
Damned straight GIRL!
This movie is just advertising for Hilton and American Airlines. Garbage.
Really? That's all it is? Nothing else? Really?
Eamon Doyle well I'm sure American Airlines didn't mind the advertising! Lol
Garbage mind notices garbage things.
and Hertz
Lol did you watch the movie? He sort of realizes at the end it all wasn't worth it
1:45 seeing how the current world is full of woke nonsense her argument is refreshing lol
This guy gets to 9.999 million miles and then covid happens, flights are grounded, the milage company goes broke and he loses everything including his miles. Out of depression he fails to wash his hands and catches covid. He is put on a ventilator / remdesivir protocol, has kidney failure and then chokes on his own vomit as the ventilator pumps it into his lungs. The hospital says he died of covid and receives 500k in compensation fpr treating him. The hospital also sends his estate a massive bill, since the insurance company was owned by the milage company which is now bankrupt. He had taken out health insurance in the most effective way so as to accrue the most amount of miles. Bugger.
