Frances H Very interesting although I didn't understand all of it. Much of the film was hilariously funny in talking about the ad game and politics, and the acid trips especially were visually stunning. The subtitles were hard to read for an older person-the white on white was often hard to see. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/14 Full Review Audience Member Generation P is one of the masterpieces of this generation. Many critics have fans have missed the central theme of the book and the film - the violently postmodernist critique of a consumerist society. A society where you must "sell" everything. A wonderful celluloid transformation of a really great book, it abounds in magic realism, myths and fantasy to depict a society which can not be analyzed without these tools. The film is an acerbic attack on the advertising community and the hallucinatory effect on the masses and the reference to the mythological characters make it an even more engaging. With its use of magic realism, the film comes very close to the Latin American tradition of literature which makes it an even more illuminating film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Quickly-spoken dialogue...the scenes and concepts are presented swiftly - you may miss something if you go to the toilet. Great fun, great tripping scenes, a good film. This is not the slow-bored mellow-drama that wins awards like that silent film that won the Oscar last year. If you liked Holy Motors, come here. If you liked Cosmopolis, come here... I understand the Acid trip/mad Men analogy, and it does even seem to rip off Mad Men (at least the film was made after the series), and I see this Acid & Advertising as a positive, not a splat - i read Roger E's review, and I don't get how that is a splat. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Generation P is the most interesting movie I have seen in a long time. Smart, in your face... It truly gets to the meat of the matter. True beliefs, honor, integrity... no longer... certainly not the fanatically driven religions meant to distract the congretation while they are raped and pillaged... MONEY, GLAMOUR, BEING COOL - BRANDS - Those are the icons of now. The politicians have all been bought by brands with far reaching ideas of social engineering... the fact is that many politicians have indeed been digiotized. These are the themes explored in Generation P - a truly great, refreshing ... strangely ... hopeful movie. See it.
