Generation

When I think about what film can define a generation, I think about the recently released movie Bad Grandpa because it seems to grab the attention of young adults.  It also relates to the Millennial generation because if you Youtube funny videos, most of them would show young adults participating in them.  When young adults see the Jackass movies, most of them can say that they have tried at least one of the things shown in the movie just because it can be dangerous and fun. I think that young adults tend to be attracted to more dangerous things and that is way they love the Jackass cast and movies.  It also can show that even when being an adult, you do not always grow up and for me, it seems that not many young adults want to grow up. 

I have a couple of friends from high school that after we watched the first Jackass movie, they wanted to try and attempt some of the stunts that were in the movie because it was fun, dangerous, and a story to tell.  To me, I feel that most young adults tend to use Jackass to get ideas to make things more interesting and fun but they tend to be attracted to dangerous things as well.  Many young adults will do anything to impress friends or girls and so they do crazy stunts like the ones on Jackass to impress and individual because if you accomplish the dangerous stunt, then everyone is amazed and thinks that your awesome.  This could also go into fitting in with the crowd when some young adults have a hard time doing this, then they tend to do certain things just to fit in whether it could harm them or not.
