It was a lot like Get Out. The smug elites loved it, but i don't know that they understood it was talking about them.
Just thought it was the wrong movie at the wrong time. People are losing their jobs and homes in droves...and this movie takes the wrong tone.
Granted they're trying to highlight the callousness of business... But just this premise, hey get a fresh start, here's our packet. Nobody wanted to watch this movie back then.
It was a weird and unwanted Hollywood take on the crisis.

There were a lot of themes for sure. Him being alone at the end in his greatest moment is what always stuck with me. I travel for a living (nowhere near Clooney’s amount) and I think about how I don’t want to get to an end of a road and be alone. Every time I get diamond or platinum, it’s cool for the perks, but I consider the things I missed. This week I missed my youngest’s first JH basketball game. I don’t have a ton of guilt because I’ve seen 100 of his older brother’s and I’m going to see 100 of his, but it was bittersweet being on a plane and having to get texts from my wife on how it was going.
I enjoyed it at the time but I was young and fresh in my career. Didn’t get laid off laid off but 2008 kicked my arse and set me back from financial viability for another 7 years. I don’t know that it was any indictment on 2008 though since it’s based off a book in 2001.
