One of the phrases in the movie "Up in the Sky" starring George Clooney.
This weekend I was getting to the dacha by train, so I could afford to get comfortable and watch the licensed (lying, of course) film, which I had bought for a long time, was finally bought in Heaven. The train was of the "express" type, with comfortable seats, the time was "between-peak", there were few neighbors, the price was 175 rubles.
I will not retell the entire film, I will dwell only on 2 moments that are strongly etched into my memory.
The main character, Ryan Bingham, had to travel a lot and do the dirty work of firing people. I wonder if employers in the US really care for their employees so much that they hire venerable psychologists (and this is exactly what Clooney played) to fire people? Each dismissal from work is a small tragedy, especially if you are over 40 or 50. The hero of the film looked for his own approach to each person, so that for him it would be the beginning of a new life, and not a reason to shine with it. One of the fired as a child had many interesting activities - he loved to cook, loved to come up with new recipes, etc. But I chose the profession of an accountant (or a lawyer, I don’t remember exactly). When he was asked, " How much did you sell your dream for?"For how much did you give up doing what you love? ". $ 27,000 a year (at the beginning of your career). Yes, this is such a simple answer to a question that many people can ask themselves and be horrified at the answer. dollars, we give up our aspirations and go to work as accountants, lawyers, programmers and other stable professions (excluding those who really enjoy doing this, I have met many people who enjoy "debiting with credit"). in the fourth ten.
Ryan Bingham was away for a long time. Knowing what he was doing, the family asked for a favor for his sister. Her fiancé refused to marry just before the wedding. Rain had a difficult task - to find out the reason and talk to him. The groom had a widespread male fear of marriage - loss of freedom, a prescribed life cycle "children - kindergarten - school - institute - then you are not needed - death", family picnics and celebrations, duties, loyalty to his wife, responsibility, etc. The groom asks Raina - "You are also not married and quite happy?" Ryan agrees with him and temporarily accepts his sides, that there is nothing good in marriage and family. And he asks a simple question - "And in the happiest moments of your life you were alone?" "Not". This is such a simple question, such a seemingly simple solution. “We all need a co-pilot in our lives,” says Ryne. Right, bastard)))
I highly recommend the movie for family viewing!
This time I didn’t cook anything, I practically didn’t build anything. Just summer photos:)
Z. s. Sori for the spontaneous design of the dialogues.
