The style is relaxed and elegant, with the joy of the game, which is the emotional tone of the film.
The beginning of the film is the narration of the people who have been laid off. I thought the film mainly wanted to talk about the economic crisis, but was gradually pulled back to the real theme later, and I felt a little unhappy. In retrospect, I guess this is because the film wanted to be connected with current events. But this really caused a little regret.
But "In the Cloud" is still one of the few movies I watched repeatedly. I even like all the details inside.

I am constantly moved by the words of those who have been laid off. They are alive, their language is real and sensible, and people sigh: this is the real life. The most human, the most flavorful, and the most able to stand the test of time.
"How to explain to my family."
"Psychologically, unemployment is the same as losing a loved one. And I have a feeling of death."
"I can't be unemployed. I have loans. I have children."
"I'm diligent and diligent here. Worked for ten years, just like that!"
"Do you sleep at night? Do you have heating? Is there enough food in the refrigerator? Is the gas tank full? Will you go to your favorite restaurant for dinner this weekend? I'll go. No, my family can't go, we can't do anything."
"Without income, in case my daughter has an asthma attack, I can only hold her because I don't have the money to send her to the hospital."
"I am the only one. Someone who saved this place!!!"
"You are going to fire me, right. (We just want to talk about your future.) Don't be circumspect, I've seen too much. What's the compensation? Just say it. Job search service , Very generous. Don't bother, I am confident in my plan. There is a very beautiful bridge near my house, and I will jump down from it." The
last lady was terribly calm. Sometimes people who vent out have medicine to save. Unemployment makes a person lose control and makes a person change the way he treats life. It turns out that the purpose of human beings in the world is not to pursue the philosophy of superman, but to have a pragmatic job.
They are furious and fight back directly, or they are unsatisfied and express injustice, or are at a loss and frustrated with the future, or try their best to stay in the final conversation.

two lay teachers gave me a lot of feelings.
Ryan Bingham knows their job well: Intervene in people's most vulnerable moments and let them go with the flow. And the problem that these people most need to solve is: economic sources. So his task is to make them feel that this problem can be solved. At least when I walked out of the office building, I thought it could be resolved. This is easier said than done.
Ryan is very efficient, and his tools are neat and tidy. "The slower we move, the faster we die. We are not swans, we are sharks." He is relaxed, likes to be alone, free, optimistic, strong in perception, carefulness, wisdom, and amazing eloquence. He does his favorite job and has women. As an episode of the journey. But to pursue what he likes is bound to sacrifice, and what he sacrifices is marriage and family.
Those who live a life of marriage and family also have shortcomings: living under huge material and spiritual pressure, when encountering any problem, they must consider not only themselves, but also the whole family. The most important thing is the relationship between myself and them. As a result, a large number of people desire to be relaxed.
Speaking of Ryan's eloquence and analytical ability, I appreciate some of his words:
"Everyone who has built an empire or has changed the world has experienced your current situation. It is this dilemma that has created them. Success. This is the truth.
"Today you can take your time. Tomorrow you can exercise, go for a run and find something for yourself. It won’t take long for you to start all over again."
"Children’s worship is very important to you. It’s important, but I guess children have never admired you.
"Do you know why children admire athletes? (I don’t know, because they can get underwear models?) No, that’s why we like athletes. Children like athletes, Because they pursue their dreams. (I don’t know how to dunk.) But you can cook. Your resume says that you have a minor in cooking. Most of the students only go to work in kfc, but you learn a craft that can support a family. .
"After you graduated, you came here to work. How much salary did they give you at the beginning that made you give up your dream? When do you plan to leave this job and do what you really like? (good question.)
"I have seen People who have worked in the same company all their lives, just like you, they clock in to and from work, but never feel a trace of happiness. Now your chance is here. This is your chance to rebirth. If you don’t do it for yourself, then do it for yourself. Your children."
He thinks at a high speed to find the gaps that can be inserted into the language, his witty words are rushing to your weakness, and he is speechless. He wins steadily, step by step, starting from the first sentence, the outcome is the outcome.
Because he understands a truth: what he will interfere with is the most personal situation of employees. He also knows the principles and essence of their profession: to make hell tolerable, to escort the wounded soul through the river of despair, to a place where there is almost no hope. (He understands these fired people very well, and he is kind-hearted) Then we stopped the boat, pushed them down, and let them go by themselves.
His wisdom influenced Natalie, and this 23-year-old young and capable girl also burst out amazing talents:
"The sooner you accept this fact, the sooner you start a new life."
When a 75-year-old person is expelled in front of you Sobbing in pain, you can't soften your heart. Your working principle tells you: There is only so much you can talk about, and that's all you can do. This is probably what we are talking about. It goes against the confusion that a kind-hearted society brings to kind-hearted people. You really can't make a choice. (Are you really unable to choose? I'm confused.)
In addition, the film teaches a good way to persuade others: first follow the other person's thinking, and then gradually refer to your purpose (shown three times in the film). This pull and push approach is gentle and avoids cutting-edge conflicts, and sometimes a step back is more powerful than aggressive.

movie's understanding of marriage is wonderful.
Natalie sells marriage to Ryan:
stability, someone can rely on. ——How many stable marriages do you know.
Talk together, live life together-I am surrounded by people who can talk together.
There is no need to die alone-if nothing else, we will all die alone. Those who died collectively were the brainwashed believers in San Diego.
Indeed, these are not the unique qualities of marriage at all. The essence of marriage is: "The happiest memory and the most important moment in your life. Are you alone? Life will be better if you are accompanied. Everyone needs a company."
Three people above the clouds. I personally like short conversations very much:
"We will all fall in love with bastards, who are savage, elusive, and funny."
"If I didn't meet the destined person, no matter how successful my life is, it doesn't make sense."
"Another. Half of the standard: higher than myself, not a bastard, like my job, from a good background, he earns more than me, may not understand when he is in his twenties, but he will realize in his thirties that it is a Time bomb."
"I don't mind rushing to my career, and I don't mind no one holding me to sleep."
Ryan explained the different treatments after a one-night stand:
wake up in the morning, wake the other person up and say goodbye awkwardly. Or sneak away and make the other person feel like an escort.

I have been paying close attention to the life of the character Ryan.
He also felt that his relationship with Alex was very casual at first. But then he discovered certain gaps in his life. When he decided to empty his backpack and go in, he discovered that she was a woman with a child and a husband.
At the time, the 23-year-old Natalie scorned him arrogantly, and even said that he was a 12-year-old child who hadn't grown up. Later, the facts proved that Natalie is the real child who has not grown up, and that the older is the older. Older people can't do young things well.
Wasn't the original Ryan lonely? Why did all the normal actions seem lonely afterwards. Without company, it will not bring out the loneliness of being alone. Or is it actually the state of mind, which controls the feeling of loneliness. This is probably a very cute way out, but also a piece of painful waters.
"I thought I was also a part of your real life."
"Am I an episode?"
Different routes do not necessarily go the same way. Her path is her path, and her path cannot be balanced and overbearing. There is nothing you can "think" in this world. After too many things subjectivism, you can only end up with a touch of sadness. Love can't think, let alone deceive. He can't deceive himself. When love comes, no matter how smart people are, they will be led by the nose.
Being alone is not always alone. It was that there used to be someone to accompany him, but now he is the only one left.
"Where is your home?"
"This is my home."
His life has changed: He started to do more for his family. He wanted to do more for his sister and brother-in-law, such as allowing them to travel around the earth. Perhaps this is because he has experienced the beauty of everything with his loved ones. Even though it is beautiful and small, it is shining and attractive.
Everyone's life is not easy, no matter whether it is brilliant or easy.
When he wanted to fly in the sky, someone would come out to obstruct him; when he didn't want to fly anymore, someone ordered him to fly back to the sky. What people can get is to adjust their mentality and adapt to the rapids of life. And sometimes, these seemingly contradictory torrents are the best medicine to save depression. He flies back to the clouds again, non-stop, and the next change in life will come.
People who can persist in the job of layoffs, among other things, have to go into this business, because they have very different personalities and different wills from ordinary people.
"Money can give me warmth, but it is not the warmth of being hugged by my husband."
"When I woke up in the morning and saw my wife lying next to me, I knew that was the meaning of my life."
People in the world are like this When feeling emotional, Ryan Bingham resolutely chose the cloud and loneliness. And his inner strength is that he is the brightest star across the sky.
