Now playing at a theatre near you. Ratchet the recession up a notch. This movie is about being in a high level position, living the high life, and then losing your job; about selling your home and moving in with your parents; about MBAs and skilled labor; about charity and compassion; love and loyalty; hope and despair; encouragement and disappointment, insecurity and instability; arrogance and greed; stockholders and profit margins; all for some and none for everybody else. Very much like “Up in the Air” another movie about becoming unemployed. This will strike you to the core with its heartfelt depictions and characterizations of how some overcome, while others are overcome in this recession, which for some, is more of a depression.
Dear tinydancer: I looked at the utube movie trailer. I saw a "sophisticated" man, maybe two, with very expensive cars, houses, watches and clothing and women. Let's see now: give the average Joe all that and tell him he has two years to try to hold on to it. I don't mean to be cavalier or unsympathetic or to lack empathy. Simply to say everything is relative. As one of Liz Taylors ex's said to the "has been" label "Yes but look where I has been." Tom
