Overrated

Nice effects though.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I 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.

"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")

Why 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!

For some reason I was intrigued by this movie. I kept watching it thinking something would happen. Nothing happened. Halfway through it looked like something might happen. Nothing happened. I still kept watching it though, waiting for some grand revelation, or some insight, or some idea of what it was about, and I didn't get it. I waited for the plot to reveal itself or for there to be some sort of context to the story. There was none. There was no foreshadowing, there did not appear to be any conflict, there didn't appear to be a resolution at the end, either. This movie left me unfulfilled and confused. What is the point of this movie?? I have no idea. Does anyone know, and if so can you share with me what the point of this movie was?
