o this explains the movie's mediocrity
http://www.complex.com/music/2013/02/dangeruss-the-rapper-who-inspired-james-franco-spring-breakers
the whole thing is some surreal dumb shit as the movie itself
but some highlights
Had it been based on me completely, 100%, James wouldnât have dressed like that. He dressed kind of strange in the movie, for me, for my liking. Heâd have looked a lot cooler if I would have had a part in that, which I believe I could have, but I didnât take the initiative to say, âhey, donât wear that goofy-lookinâ shit,â you know what Iâm saying. As far asâyou know, he got the braids, I got dreads, I got big dumb dreads, dreads is a wholeâyou know, dreads is a lion in the jungle type shit, he had braids, which is like a deer. His appearance, I canât take credit for that, and I wouldnât want to.[...]I canât lie. Thereâs a part of me that believes that itâs not going to be as real as it should be. A lot of it has to do with the way he was dressed in the movie. You would never catch a gangster dressing like that. And the way he talks in the movie, you can kind of tell itâs not real, itâs not authentic. Harmony Korine could have found me and put me in Jamesâ role. I love James Franco, thatâs my dog. He called me the other day, two, three days ago, he called me, just checkinâ up on me. I love James. But if Harmony wanted that real, Harmony should have came and when he found me, he should have been like, you know what, tell James Iâm gonna get him on something else, we need this guy. I think Harmony knew that. Thatâs why he wanted me to be a part of it so quick."But if I had more time to really school James on that shit, I feel like it could have been better. So yeah, I do have some concerns about that, because I told him what to do, I told him how to do it, but I wasnât there to be like, naw, that ainât right. Here, this how you do that. And have him do it. So when I get credit for his actual character, I kind of have to take a blessing and just hope he listens to what I told him. Because like I say, I wasnât at every single shoot to be like, âhey James, we donât do that. We donât do that."

I hope The Trap plays at the local movie house. It probably won't though. I never get to see his movies at the actual movies.

Hesitate to re-open this thread--I know what the next three posts will be--but I wanted to see how this would hold up alongside American Honey, which it obviously influenced. I called it tedious upthread; I think American Honey's far superior, but I found Korine's film somewhat more interesting this time. Franco (nervy performance--he risks coming across as absolutely ridiculous, and I'm sure he does for many people, but I like what he does; Taxi Driver's Sport, definitely), the photography, and the dreaminess of the early scenes are good. Its presentation of generational vacuity is probably just as valid as The Bling Ring or Palo Alto. (They all have at least one character who's set apart--I guess that's Selena Gomez here.) Past that, I don't know. I didn't grow up with MTV's spring break series--maybe that'd provide some context I don't have. American Honey moves me; at best, Spring Breakers points towards something more, and settles for repetitions that are supposed to be hypnotic or profound or something. For me, they're just repetitive.

One good thing about this movie is it showed franco was so bad it helped him get less roles
And thus we never hear about him anymore
Thank you korine

My conclusion too. I can't persuade myself to watch Springbreakers again, though.

It's like Andrea Arnold saw this, really responded to something in it, then wondered if you could do a variation on it (helped by finding her source material in the newspaper) with a lot of feeling and empathy in place of a concept.

I sometimes like to imagine what a Harmony Korine movie about Reading Week would be like. Nubile young women put on an extra sweater before trudging to the Second Cup to cram for midterms...?

I'll always remember going to see this film one afternoon, leaving the cinema in a strange, dream-like state and then getting home to the news that Maggie Thatcher was dead. A perfect day.
