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

“The end of escapism” symbolized by pop icons

Britney Spears is also a former child star from Disney Channel, and is a big senior to Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens. At the age of 11, she passed the audition for the popular TV show "The Mickey Mouse Club" and became a household name, and made her debut as a singer at the age of 16. Their first album was a huge hit, selling 30 million copies worldwide, and they quickly rose to stardom. By the way, members of the Mickey Mouse Club include Justin Timberlake, who was once in a relationship with Britney, Ryan Gosling , and Christina Aguilera .

However, Britney's life as a celebrity and being constantly watched by the public and pursued by paparazzi gradually caused her to break down. He spent his days partying, impulsively getting married to a childhood friend and then canceling it immediately, and once going to a beauty salon and cutting his own head with clippers.

Another important thing is the music video for “Everytime.” Britney and Stephen Dorff play a celebrity couple reminiscent of Britney herself, and the film depicts them being chased by paparazzi, as well as the couple's rough lives and ugly conflicts. Britney then has a fantasy of herself dying in a hotel bathtub.

It is also significant that the setting is The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, known for frequenting Hollywood celebrities and where Britney once decided to marry her childhood friend. ``Everytime'' is a song that incorporates the light and shadow of the existence of celebrities, tearing away the imaginary image of pop icons and making us pay attention to the grotesque and sad reality.
