Walter Kirns' novel,
"Up in the Air," was used as a template for the movie "Up in the
Air," directed by Jason Reitman. The core is still there between the book
and film, Bingham flies around the country living in hotel rooms and racking up
frequent flyer miles. However, The film is not a carbon copy of the book but is
from the same genetic code or DNA. The book and film character differences are
noticed right away. Kirn keeps Bingham away from the audience whereas the film allows for Clooney's'charm to come out. An immense amount of change contributed to the differences between
the book and movie. The political conditions and economic status in the United
States had changed drastically between the release of the book(2001) and the
release of the film(2009). The culture of a businessman had morphed to keep up
with the technologies of business itself. Nor to forget that flying was not
longer commonplace and was forever changed on September 11, 2001. The transformations through out american culture impacted the evolution from Book to movie.
