What gives our Great Recession its particular darkness — and gives this film its haunting afterlife — is the disconnect between the corporate culture that is dictating the firing and the rest of us. In the shorthand of the day, it’s the dichotomy between Wall Street and Main Street, though that oversimplifies the divide. This disconnect isn’t just about the huge gap in income between the financial sector and the rest of America. Nor is it just about the inequities of a government bailout that rescued the irresponsible bankers who helped crash the economy while shortchanging the innocent victims of their reckless gambles. What “Up in the Air” captures is less didactic. It makes palpable the cultural and even physical chasm that opened up between the two Americas for years before the financial collapse.

What’s going to kill newspapers is not the Internet or the spectre of “free” — the fact others have gotten rich on “free” suggests there’s still money to be made even if it’s not directly extracted from the readers. What’s going to kill newspapers is that they’re frequently not that interesting; the corporate blandifying process has been largely successful, one newspaper generally looks and reads like another, and readers — particularly younger ones — don’t find anything that brings them back for more.
