喬治克隆尼在Up in the air『型男飛行日誌』中反映當下時事，也就是企業裁員。讓處於經濟衰退環境的觀眾深感共鳴。劇情則充滿了黑色幽默。片中在通知被裁員員工時，他對一位被資遣者說了一段話，雖然是安慰性質居多，不過也一語道中不少人的內心想法，也值得小弟省思。
How much they pay for you to let you give up on your dreams? and when were you going to stop and come back to do some makes you happy?
I see many guys who work at the same company for their entirely lives, they clock in and clock out and they never have a moment of happiness.
Now it is your opportunity to review yourself, it is reborn. Not only do for you, but do for your children.
我想人生苦短，很多事情，確實值得我們放開去追求，大家認為呢？
劇中喬治所配戴的腕錶是OMEGA Deville Hour Version，白色錶盤，俐落的配置，確實很適合喬治的氣質以及劇中的角色。
