Spring Breakers is a movie that you either love or hate. I personally loved it. I didn't see it as a trashy unbelievable movie. It was exactly what I hadn't expected to see, and I love surprises. It was an artistic film festival movie and it was very graphic. Nudity is natural and normal Spring Breakers showed exactly what happens at these spring break events. Sex, drugs and violence.
Selena Gomez's character was great. She was the outcast of the group. She always had bags under her eyes and you could tell her friends lifestyle was taking a physical toll on her body.I like that her character didn't change, she went home and stayed "true" to herself.
Alien was heartbreaking. His need for acceptance is seen through the film. He builds himself up to look like this big man but he is scared and looking for acceptance through the four girls and even his once best friend now enemy(Gucci Mane). You can see this with how big and fast he creates a bond with the girls. He risks his life to seek out revenge against Gucci Mane's character for shooting Rachel Korine which in the end winds up getting Alien (James Franco) killed. He wants everyone to believe he's this big shot hustler and rapper. One of the most memorable and most funny scene in the film is his " look at all my shiiet" speil. Its energetic and a highlight in the film.
The ending was a surprise you definitely didn't see it coming. As soon as the boat holding Brit (Ashley Benson), Candy (Vanessa Hudgens) and Alien ( James Franco) makes it to the "gang" pin of Archie (Gucci Mane) Alien is shot right in the forehead. The two girls instinctively shoot down and kill the attackers and release the wrath of two misunderstood teenages upon the whole gang. The end of the movie is ...almost poetic and yet leaves you questioning wtf happend.
This movie although sometimes a hot mess overall its a great film Keep an open mind and think like an artist when watching this movie.
A shitty opinion of a wonderful movie.
