I don’t think this is as smart of a film as a lot of people think, nor do I think Korine was aiming for that. It’s just aged like fine wine and encapsulates a nightmarish ambience that I didn’t know I was afraid of until watching it.
if I have to hear james franco say spring break one more time I swear to fucking god
"This is the fuckin' American dream. This is my fuckin' dream, y'all! All this sheeyit! Look at my sheeyit! I got... I got SHORTS! Every fuckin' color. I got designer T-shirts! I got gold bullets. Motherfuckin' VAM-pires. I got Scarface. On repeat. SCARFACE ON REPEAT. Constant, y'all! I got Escape! Calvin Klein Escape! Mix it up with Calvin Klein Be. Smell nice? I SMELL NICE! That ain't a fuckin' bed; that's a fuckin' art piece. My fuckin' spaceship! U.S.S. Enterprise on this shit. I go to different planets on this motherfucker! Me and my fuckin' Franklins here, we take off. TAKE OFF! Look at my shit. Look at my shit! I got my blue Kool-Aid. I got my fuckin' NUN-CHUCKS.…
james franco’s character waving his gun around saying "spring break forever y'all!!!!!" is what i see in the corner of my room during sleep paralysis
"y'all are my motherfucking soulmates."
like a Ke$ha video directed by Terrence Malick (*Do* The Wonder?), a dubstep belly shot of the american nightmare. Forever.
although, re the too-obvious Ke$ha reference above, Pussy Riot would also fit the bill (the Brony-baiting masks certainly raise that flag). first viewing was dominated by concerns with capitalism and carnal myopia, but i suspect that future visits will focus more on power dynamics and holy shit ashley benson.
also, there's a show-stopping sequence at the film's mid-point that involves a piano and an unexpected pop song and... cinema forreeverrrrr
Korine updates stylistic elements of Malick and Mann for a vulgar, excessive 2012 online youth party culture American Dream and ends up with one of the greatest accomplishments of his career and the decade: a candy-colored, electronic, alcohol-soaked neo-noir about dissatisfied college girls who in their pursuit of MTV fantasy self-actualization/liberation accidentally come face-to-face with the American class and race realities these fantasies were born from and end up mistresses in a Florida rapper drug war. A narrative Korine approaches with both empathy and irony, fluidly abstracting pop culture iconography, crass commercial surfaces, subjective impulse/sensation (both romantic and violent), gorgeous visual texture experimentation and an editing pattern that feels like a hazy remix of itself until he ends up with…
Out of every four women, one is a good Christian girl, one will basically go along to get along either way, and two are fully demonic. This film is like a diamond laser transmitted from our present to the distant past of 2012. This is the future. This is America. This is Spring Break 4 eva. Can you fucking believe that 'The Aritst' won best picture the same year this came out? My babies are hungry, my babies are starving and they need to eat.
