WeAreMovieGeeks sat down with Keanu Reeves and Mark Mann to talk about generation Um…. In this particular interview, we hear Keanu talk about his character John and the challenge of filming the long hug scene. The little gems, though, came from Mark Mann as he talks about the use of the camera as a catalyst for change and how the cowboy scene came about among others. When asked what he was thinking when writing the script, Mann replied:
I was just thinking about how do you change your life? Often times I think you have to make a bold move and you have to do something that people don’t necessarily congratulate you for, to give yourself what you need to move forward. I guess you can speak metaphorically, it’s kind of the way things have gone. We’ve sort of entered into sort of the time where that kind of thing was sort of seen as the only way to actually get ahead. For better for worse, it has entered into our sense of right and wrong.
