Timely Movie About The Unemployed

Rating: 8/10 (24 April 2010)

this movie really says it all for so many Americans who don't have unions,job security or have seen their benefits dwindle as the years go by.
George Clooney, a.k.a The Fantastic Mr. Fox, tucks his bushy tail into a business suit for one of those dubious jobs that some of us wonder how a person can do and live with themselves. Some of us could never be bill/debt collectors no matter how hard we try. I had to quit a asst. manager position when i was younger because i was incapable of ordering people around or firing them. i just don't have it in me to be ruthless when another person's livelihood is at stake. call me a wimp i don't care. being ruthless doesn't seem all that humane or Christian-like. treating your fellow man with tolerance and compassion is all that matters in the good book.
George Clooney is one of those intelligent actors that always seems to pick intelligent, worthwhile projects. if he chooses a film it is usually worth the time to check out. even if the movies not great, there is always something to it. i didn't think this film was great cinema, but it was well acted, written and directed, and it had a very compassionate, human message. definitely an important and current one.
