Evil under the sun.Įventually, as all good things do, the party gets broken up and the girls meet James Franco in the guise of Alien, a rapper?/drug dealer based on this IRL guy. (A right tragedy, since it was an El Camino for Christ’s sake.) Then they get their asses on some sort of party bus to Florida that looks like my personal living hell, and that’s when the madness begins. They don’t have enough money to get to Florida for vacation, so they: steal a teacher’s car, rob a restaurant, burn the car.
#What is the movie spring breakers movie#
The first half of the movie details the (in my opinion, downward) spiral of four young female friends from an unspecified Southern college town. And at night, by the convenience store light. It’s sickening to witness, for sure, yet when people got disgusted with this aspect of Spring Breakers, I believe they missed the point. The kids all look alike, they act alike, they don’t talk unless it’s in vague vapid riddles. Rather it’s just line after line done off of a tan tummy that could be hers, or hers, or hers. The constant parade of nearly naked bodies is almost anonymous-when faces are shown, it’s hard to differentiate one from the other. That time in your life when friendship is tight and simple and feels like forever, when you’re riding on idealism and lack of consequence. I’m not sure what point Harmony Korine was trying to make with this one, but I can let you know what atmosphere he invoked: a youthful free-for-all, the hazards of immortality, booze-soaked bright days and fluorescent coke-fueled nights. When done right, they punctuate a point the filmmaker is trying to make, and isn’t that what art is all about? But just saying-if you are, don’t bother with this movie. (Disclaimer: overtly sexual/druggie themes and scenes in movies never outrage me. However, this time around solidified that previous hazy feeling and I now know why I thought it was so awesome. I saw more flaws, and at times it seemed actually unwatchable, with its repetitive breathy voice-overs and (frankly ridiculous) shock-value hedonism. I watched it again last night and didn’t like it as much. I definitely loved it, but didn’t feel up to the task of stringing together a few sentences to tell you why. At the time, it left me with a hazy, sick, yet exhilarated feeling.
I saw Spring Breakers in theaters, back in the, well, spring.
