Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

... View MoreIt's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
... View MoreMostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
... View MoreI love Keanu Reeves. And *spoiler alert* I felt the ending of the movie might be the beginning of the movie. I started over. It wasn't. Costumes were different. Only in the relevance that one day isn't much different from the next. But while taking place, it seemed that a guy annoyed with two hot but skanky chicks decided to take an interest in them after stealing a video camera. And his documentary of them was insightful. But he knew them all along. The only person surprised a the ending was me. And maybe you.
... View More"Generation Um..." is a pretentious shallow film about nothing. The pointless plot is about the lives of three uninteresting persons that live in New York: John (Keanu Reeves) is an unemployed guy and small-time thief and pimp. The Call-girl Violet (Bojana Novakovic) is a promiscuous drug addicted woman that has slept with at least two hundred men and three women. The call-girl Mia (Adelaide Clemens) is a disturbed woman that saw her father kicking the belly of her pregnancy mother that aborted a baby girl. Violet shags John and Mia and she are best friends. On the day of his birthday, John steals a video-camera and makes footage in the Central park and interviewing Violet and Mia. Then the girls go to a bachelor party. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "Sem Destino" ("Without Destiny")
... View MoreWhy some people think that nothing happens in this movie, it's about nothing? At first glance - right, nothing happens, just an ordinary day routine, just a guy stole a camera But please look inside the film; look deep into the heroes' souls! You'll see a hell, struggle, pain,flight, dying love.. All the action takes place inside a man, the movie is about the transformation of human soul.The camera gave them possibility to look at themselves the other way round. Confession allowed to take the hidden pain out .. and the process of catharsis starts. John's question "and what you really are?" – culmination point of the film, it's main idea. Everybody should ask himself once "What I am? Why I am? What's the essence of my life?" And Violet's reaction, one drop of tear, give us a hope that these people are not the lost generation. A very dramatic film, an extremely realistic! If not the famous actors I would take it as documentary. Its monotony fascinates. A Zen film. not for everyone. An excellent acting!! My great thanks to film creators for this job!
... View MoreThis defined my life in so many levels, I don't live his exact life, no. But the dullness, borderline, bored, nothing there but 'Are you still talking' personality is. Creativity sucks, (like the movie)plots don't stick, I can not create anything that is or should be close to being called film worthy. This is what becomes my trash. It feels like I picked up the camera and gave a high time actor My life to film what I do. I'm not okay with it. It's mundane, it's terrible, even the character himself said: 'Maybe you should say something interesting.' It makes me angry and disgusted by this generation..whatever the hell you call it...um. Yes, it's true, yes I see what you did there. Yes, I would give it a higher rating normally for being real - as I should say great real life acting. Story sucks but what can I say, that was the meaning of the story right? To depict real life. This movie wasn't for me.
