The narrative jumps around in time and space, pasted together through flashbacks, flash forwards, and repetitive lines that linger in the back of the viewer's mind like a broken record. The whole film feels like one crazy, hypnotic dream, from its use of colors to its loud, insane score that ranges from romping party fun to atmospheric, moody pieces that underline the darker moments in the film. Thus begins the tragic slide into the dark nature of these characters, as they find themselves participating in and doing things bound to seduce the audience into an awe-struck state more than once.Not that any of this is told through a conventional narrative. It's at this point that the film takes a drastic turn into even darker territory, the trip slowly proving itself to be more than a few of them bargained for. His intentions are murky and the film never misses an opportunity to make us feel uncomfortable witnessing his interactions with the girls. Franco truly breaks out in this performance, becoming someone I never could have imagined he'd be able to pull off back in his Spider-Man days. Enter James Franco as Alien, a white gangster with gold teeth, dreadlocks, and a ton of money and guns to go along with his criminal tendencies. Out of money and unwilling to call their parents, the girls languish in jail until a mysterious visitor posts their bail. They have two options: pay a fine, or remain in jail for another two days. The fun soon ends once the girls are arrested for using narcotics at a wild party. Her desire to go on spring break is almost spiritual in nature-a soul-searching journey in which she just wants to be someone new and be free.The spring break party scenes are manic-loud music, hypnotic imagery, and disorienting colors all come together like some kind of dream. In one poignant monologue, she speaks of the monotony of life and how everyone is depressed because they wake up and see the same things every day. One moment we see her praying in church, and the next she's passively condoning the fact that her friends have just robbed a restaurant in order to obtain the rest of the money they need to make it to Florida. Selena Gomez is easily the most likable member of the cast-a young girl struggling to balance her Christian faith and values in the moral wasteland that is college life. This is truly the best deconstruction of modern culture I've seen.The movie starts with our main quartet of female characters struggling to find a way around the fact they don't have enough money to travel to Florida for that much-hyped, almost mythical annual rite of passage nearly every college kid in the country has to face at some point: spring break.
More than once, I was disgusted and enthralled with these characters, not knowing whether I should feel amused, angry, or sad. And if you're like me, you'll find this kind of self-reflection very disturbing. It's a dark, exciting, tragic look at modern youth culture that doesn't so much as revel in the pop culture sensory overload as hold up a mirror to the audience so we can see some of ourselves in these kids. Don't let the cast or the marketing fool you-this is not a "feel good" movie.
#Is the movie spring breakers based on a true story tv
The TV ads, poster, and cast have probably misled some viewers into thinking this is a cross between The Hangover and Project X.
Appear.Those seeking a fun "party film" will be disappointed.
