The Story

From Jason Reitman, the Oscar-nominated director of Juno, comes Up in the Air, the timely odyssey of Ryan Bingham (Oscar winner George Clooney), a corporate downsizer and consummate modern business traveler who, after years of staying happily airborne, suddenly finds himself ready to make a real connection.

继奥斯卡提名影片《朱诺》之后,导演贾森·雷特曼带来了其新作《在云端》。这部影片展现了公司裁员专家瑞恩·宾厄姆(奥斯卡奖获得者乔治·克鲁尼饰)自我探索的人生经历。瑞恩的工作需要在各地飞来飞去,在当下堪称时髦;然而,这么多年以空中飞行为己乐,他突然觉得自己已经准备接受一段真正的情感。

Ryan has long been contented with his unencumbered lifestyle lived out across America in airports, hotels and rental cars. He can carry all he needs in one wheel-away case; he’s a pampered, elite member of every travel loyalty program in existence; and he’s close to attaining his lifetime goal of 10 million frequent flier miles — and yet ... Ryan has nothing real to hold onto.

一直以来,瑞恩穿梭于全美的各个机场、酒店和出租车,他很满意自己这种不受任何牵累的生活方式。一只旅行箱装下了他所需要的一切;作为现有每一家“旅行忠诚计划”的尊贵会员,他备受宠爱;他即将实现自己的人生目标:乘飞机积攒的英里数达到1000万;然而……瑞恩找不到自己真正想要坚持的东西。

When he falls for a simpatico fellow traveler Alex (Vera Farmiga), Ryan's boss (Jason Bateman), inspired by a young, upstart efficiency expert Natalie (Anna Kendrick), threatens to permanently call him in from the road. Faced with the prospect, at once terrifying and exhilarating, of being grounded, Ryan begins to contemplate what it might actually mean to have a home.

他爱上了与自己志趣相投的同行亚历克斯(维拉·法梅加 饰),这时候,瑞恩的上司(杰森·贝特曼 饰)受年轻却自命不凡的效率专家娜塔莉(安娜·肯德里克 饰)的启发,扬言要终结他这种“在路上”的生活方式。面对“落地生根”的生活前景,瑞恩既惊恐又振奋,他开始思考:拥有一个自己的家到底意味着什么。

The film's main theme is that it is an imperative to find connections and relationships in life. Alex's and Natalie's arrival into Ryan's life challenge his philosophy of a relationship-free life throughout the course of the film (Natalie's relationship with her boyfriend and Ryan's growing attraction to Alex). Natalie begins to realize the disheartening aspects of Ryan's job while questioning the purpose of Ryan's personal miles goal, and how his lifestyle makes it impossible for him to make any real relationship.

这部影片的主题强调了人们在生活中需要一些情感联系。随着亚历克斯和娜塔莉闯入瑞恩的生活,他这种无拘无束、不受任何感情牵累的生活理念开始受到挑战(娜塔莉和男友之间的恋情,同时瑞恩愈发为亚历克斯所吸引)。娜塔莉对瑞恩的个人飞行里程目标提出了质疑,她开始意识到这份职业令人沮丧的方方面面,正是瑞恩的这种生活方式使得他不可能与别人维系真正的感情。
