i got jealous when selena left the film halfway through
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.
i think this movie gave me herpes
"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.…
selena gomez: dont worry guys, i have a plan
[selena gomez has left the game]
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…

it's key that this ends with the juxtaposition between the dead black bodies the protagonists have left in their way on the road to self-actualisation (their narration proving that the only repercussions they'll have is a moral desire to finally be the good american girls that society wants them to be) and the lavish hedonism of the white tourists, dousing themselves in drugs, alcohol and cum, thinking about nothing but pure pleasure. this is the american dream come to life, a world where the privileged get away with murder and the spaces they leave behind are festering and rotting, nothing left but now irrelevant bodies lying dead in the pool.
I can relate to Selena Gomez's character because I too wanted to leave half way through the movie.
