I hate this movie AND I know about existentialism.

Existentialism is boring. In fact it's the most useless philosophy I know of, in my opinion. Who cares if we are all connected; are we all supposed to be happy and have sex with each other now? What matters, and listen to me now, is what we make out of it - the fact that we are all connected. Just because the philosophy has a fancy name doesn't mean we have to freak out. I choose to not care.

This movie is shallow. It is not deep. I'm in the middle of a marathon right now including Trainspotting, Amelie, Garden State, some Quentin Tarantino - and then this suddenly slaps me in the face with its boredom and normalcy.

This is - and I mean this in the most insulting way possible - the most normal movie I've seen.

You know, that's the real joke with pilosophies; because they are cooked up ideas by some people that lived in some special times. They usually don't stand the test of time... some may be even outdated after a few years.

With the rest I cannot agree: This is definitely NOT the most normal movie ever.

I just love how you're attacking existentialism whilst making very clear you have no idea what it is. Classic.

you saying, 'who cares', and reflecting that this movie is shallow, is actually proving that existentialism if very important to you. So, i don't get your gripe.

The OP has a right to his own opinion. But he doesn't have a right to his own definitions.
