American father

In « Did you hear about the Morgan », Hugh Grant is a modern urban man, weak and unfaithful trying to win back his beloved wife. On the contrary, Sam Eliott is a nice and solid traditional sheriff from a Wyoming village – the most american countryside.

In « Up in the air », George Clooney is a man whose job is to fire people, talented, but ruthless and running away from his obligations. Sam Elliott is a domestic flight pilot that appears at the precise moment where Clooney realises his life emptiness:
-    SE « So where are you from ? »
-    GC « … From here » (he means the plane itself)
-    Both « … compassionate silence … »

With his vibrating white mustache that seems to have grown forever, Sam Elliott stands to the exact opposite of the modern man image and plays the new american father that Barack Obama sadly fails to represent.

True trend or republican propaganda?
