So as observing the movie Spring breakers we see how many ways race, gender, sexuality, etc are targeted. For this image I chose this particular image for the fact it gives you the stereotypical image of a college girl. In the film " Spring Breakers", the depiction of a female is really degrading. It put woman in a category as if thats all college girls do is get dunk party, hook up, and give themselves away. In this image we see how the females are wrestling in their bikinis in oil. Now if you look closely you will see beer cans making one assume they are drunk and or were drinking. This in it's self relates to the movie where it seemed as if only the women were party animals getting drunk etc. In the image in the back you can see the men standing around watching looking normal not really doing any crazy things. This relates to the movie in the ways the men were kind of just around having sex with the females, getting them to take their clothes off etc. The men seemed as if they were really just having a good spring break where the women were over dramatic in so many ways. Stuff seen in this movie never happens in my eyes, or that I have seen. Where also in the film the women seemed high and on drugs throughout the entire movie. I feel as if women in general in this film betrayed has not very smart or having no common sense. As in terms of race you seen really just the white females were acting crazy showing themselves naked. There is no comparison when trying to say females and males with their shirts off are the same thing. Women really were degraded in this film. In the movie we also see how the author made the tension in the club between whites and blacks, where later in the movie there was a shoot out in the club between opposite races. With race, we see that the black males have no sentence structure and talk as if they have no education. In Stuart Hall- Representation, it talks about the images that media gives off with black individuals. It gives examples of how to walk black, or talk black. In the movie we seen a whole lot of this. We also see a lot of stereotypes with the clothing and sagging of pants. With this clip is said learn how to be a pimp, street thug, or a mugger. This is the terrible part is that in our society blacks are put into that category of negativity. Day in and out we hear how blacks are killing , stealing, raping, etc. Where is the positive media and the fact you can't act a color? There are killers, people who steal, rape, etc of all colors. But as far as this image I have picked, we get a view that women are for show, or put on the show and males just watch which isn't how one should be thinking. As we set in class we watched the Harmony Korine film and he goes into how the women are portrayed as the strong hardened gender in this movie by the crimes in which they committed. Also he states how the movie itself, comes off as a " Drug experience". In the interview the director also says how basically women and men with their shirts off are the same. But to me this guy is just crazy!! This film was terrible!!!
