UP IN THE AIR

After the Company Men (link to my Romanian blog post), Up in the Air seems to bring some of the unemployment issues to the big screen.

There are many other aspects of our lives in this movie, either we are single (George Clooney) or not (Vera Farmiga). The trailer gives you a clue about what is it about.


For some, flying ("miles and more") is a dream, for others it is just a way of life!

The Pioneers


THE COWARDS
NEVER STARTED
----------------------------
THE WEAK
DIED ON THE WAY
----------------------------
ONLY THE STRONG
ARRIVED
----------------------------
THEY WERE
THE PIONEERS
----------------------------

The above quote that draw my attention appear in a movie called "About Schmidt", starring Jack Nicholson. It says quite a lot even nowadays, although it was meant for the pioneers of the West.


An interesting link you might consider for your future navigation on the web, or on site - at Kearney, Nebraska - is Great Platte River Road Archway. This is the history museum that displays the plate.

Described by the Miami Herald as a “splashy, brassy history museum that uses film, computer graphics, light and sound, life-size dioramas, re-enactors and classic cars to document over 150 years of transportation and communication across America.” The Archway brings the westward migration to life.
