“Spring Breakers” Harmony Korine confidently depicts “the end of escapism”

Forgiven by God? An escapist party experience

In the beginning, a certain Bible verse is quoted. “God is The Truth; He will not put you in a trial beyond what you can bear, but along with the trial He will also provide a way of escape, so that you may be able to endure it.” (1:10:13)

These women, at least Faith (Selena Gomez), who heard these words firsthand, view the boring daily life as a test and conveniently think of the spring break vacation as a God-given "way to escape." I don't like it. For her, playing loose may be part of a far-reaching mission approved by God.

The use of Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens, who once served as role models for teenagers, seems to be an attempt to sway the public. Gomez is a former child star who starred in the Disney Channel drama ``Wizards of Waverly Place'' from 2007. Hudgens became a teen idol after her breakout role in the Disney Channel hit High School Musical.

Colin is clearly tapping into the pop icon image that Selena and Vanessa have (or once had). Of course, the casting was possible because the girls fell in love with Colin's talent, but they overlooked the aspect of metafictional contemporary art that was created by including the catchphrase of a front-page article, ``That honor student talent turns into a bitch!'' No.

The contrast between those who leave and those who remain reveals the essence of youth.
