I thought the film was buiklding to something other than it did. Seems somewhat nihilistic the way it ends.
I would think years on the street would outweigh teenage spirit.

Sorry, trying to keep that as vague as possible but think I could be failing.

Wonder what the outcome of normal Spring break normally is, embarassment & need to check for STDs? & the need to live with new reputations. & sort out your bank balance?
Noty living in th eculture I'm assuming that the sprinbreak experience is particular to one particular branch of society, but then maybe the college experience is too? like if you don't have money you're not going to be able to get into the whole thing anyway, but I'm outside the U.S. & not familiar with the education system. So not aware of how egalitarian it is in the first place. Is Spring break one of the few times that peopl get to let their hair down in that way? Or is that the life the collegiate classes live all the time, just with added sun at that point?

The climactic scene is clearly a "fantasy," even if the whole film isn't.

I had never heard Skrillex before this movie, though I'd heard endless jokes about him - but I thought the score in this was awesome. And what I assume is his big hit given an orchestral treatment at the end was fantastic... that melody is great! (Why are people so down on that dude (without opening a surely gnarly ILM thread)?

FWIW a huge portion of the actual score was by Cliff Martinez, who also held together Drive's soundtrack.

I saw this last night and was surprised how much I loved it- the slow pace, the slow flashback/forward editing structure, circling around significant lines of dialog, the single-shot robbery scene, but most of all LOOK AT MY SHIT. I got numchucks!

yeah, this was amazing. i loved it for all the reasons you mentioned. something about the editing, the "circling back" to specific significant moments such as the robbery, really allowed the movie's images to get lodged in my memory. i don't have a lot to say by way of "interpretation" of this movie, but i seems like a very accomplished manifestation of korine's distinctive vision. also the use of "everytime" by britney spears was incredible.

Trying to get a friend out to see this this week. I've assured him it's not because I'm a lecherous old man, I'm just dedicated to transgressive outsider cinema.

it's already officially achieved the status of cult midnite movie

I found this pretty tedious. It wasn't funny/campy (not that it tried to be), but neither was it anywhere close to shocking/menacing. It felt suggestive of other things--a bit of Manson, a bit of Sport from Taxi Driver, a lot of Wild Things--and the early scenes, before they left, caught a mood of sorts. Franco's good. I didn't know how to take the sledgehammer irony of the various calls home. This was my first Harmony Korine film--maybe context would add something I missed.

ok

This is one of the most important films I've seen in a long time. Wonder how it would do in a double billing with Crossroads.

just watched, dug it. most of what needs saying's been said, e.g. telephone thing and pat finn a few posts back. disconnected, beautifully photographed, fluctuating between horrible banality and seductive fantasy, good shit.

lol @ each & every all-caps SPRRRANG BRAKE (& variations) itt

pat finn seems like a pretty smart guy, xp

sly, too

i loved it but harmony still doesnt seem to know how not to make an ending jarring. i loved the ambience of the film as a whole but when it got to the conclusion, it seemed to ruin the whole mood to try and create a proper narrative conclusion - seemed out of sync with the not-really-that-much-narrative feel of what came before. needs to play in a double bill with the bling ring (which is better btw)

The 10 seconds or so of the wedding heist still stands out in my memory for some reason.

man, the colours in this movie. and on its posters. and gifs. too good.

the whole final scene with the shootout is beautifully shot.

i loved this movie, and just after it came out the taxi driver thread got bumped and I was like "ah, makes sense" but the taxi driver revive was not about the last scene of this movie and I was like wut

I mean I'm not a sophisticated viewer but I thought the link between 2 films w obv fantasy violence endings was obv!
