The Company Men

This is a sad and frustrating movie to watch. It shows a corporation planning for new headquarters and a CEO making millions and millions, while they are laying off hundreds of employees. The movie focuses on Ben Affleck's character, a higher level manager with a family, a big house, a club membership, and a Porsche. He gets laid off, and we see his journey through unemployment. On one hand, it's hard to feel sorry for the folks out there that made that kind of money in the first place. But on the other hand, they have further to fall. And who among us doesn't spend what we earn? You do that if you make $30k or $200k. All in all, it's good movie that rings far too true.
