"Spring Breakers" synopsis
Four college girls want to go to the beach in Florida during spring break. Everyday life is so boring that I feel like I'm suffocating, but even with everyone's savings, it's still not enough to cover the cost of the trip. Frustrated, the girls brandish water guns and steal money from a diner in town, then take a long-distance bus out of the countryside. The days spent partying in a resort town in Florida escalate further when he meets the local gangster Alien. The water gun is replaced with a real gun, and they dive into a dangerous underworld.
``Spring Breakers'' is the fifth feature-length directorial work by Harmony Korine, who suddenly appeared in the American film industry in the mid-1990s, and was released in 2012 (released in the United States and Japan in 2013). .
Until then, Colin had turned his back on the majors and pursued cinematic expression as a radical artist. However, ``Spring Breakers'' features major popular actors such as Disney Channel favorites Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens, and James Franco from Sam Raimi's `` Spider -Man'' trilogy. He broke new ground without losing his provocative style.

sunny beach. Young people in swimsuits dance to club music, drink beer and have fun. The women are topless, their bouncing breasts captured in slow motion, and the candy bars they hold in their mouths serve as an overtly sexual metaphor. With this sensational and revealing opening, ``Spring Breakers'' begins to shake off a certain number of audience members. As if provoking, "Can you follow me?"
Apparently there is a strange tradition during spring break in the United States of college students getting out of bed and making fun of each other, but this film presents a group of pariahs doing everything in their power to make fun of each other. It's no wonder that there are people who feel disgusted.
"Spring Breakers" preview
The main characters are four female college students who want to go to the beach in Florida during spring break. Everyday life is so boring that I feel like I'm suffocating, but even with everyone's savings, it's still not enough to cover the cost of the trip. Frustrated, the girls brandish water guns and steal money from a diner in town, then take a long-distance bus out of the countryside. No, that's not good. Even if it's just a youthful act, it's definitely out. However, this movie does not try to pass judgment on the girls' Hyakki Yako.
The party days spent in a resort town in Florida escalate further when he meets the local gangster Alien(Franco). The water gun is replaced with a real gun, and they dive into a dangerous underworld. It was supposed to be a momentary escape from reality, but why did he continue to act so violently? Even they themselves don't know the reason. Just because it's boring is insane. The images of these girls, who are simply unique and trying to enjoy each moment to the fullest, are captured in pop, colorful, and fantastic images.
