The Company Men was more than just a movie reminding us how ruthless corporate America can be. Regardless of whether you lost your job during the recession, you can walk away form this movie with some lessons.
Bobby Walker (Ben Affleck),and his adorable wife Gail (Rosemarie DeWitt) and their children portray how a loving, supportive family can make it through a crisis. While other dysfunctional families crumbled all around them, Bobby and his family made necessary sacrifices as they survived the recession intact.
There are other messages one can take away form this movie beyond what it takes (love) for a family to thrive in any kind of environment. Your economic status will no doubt alter your view about what this movie means to you.
If you are predisposed to use alcohol or sex as a crutch to get through life, maybe - just maybe you might see yourself in this movie. Or perhaps your significant other will? See ya!!
