Scorching youth under the scorching sun

Young people in Tampa are crazy now, and this is the impression left by the movie "Spring Break." Especially at the beginning of the film, there are bustling handsome men and women on the beach, with their tanned skin, unabashedly revealing passion. They squeeze toward the camera, scream your eardrums, and seduce your sight. The soundtrack singer is Skrillex, who has sung many tender love songs, such as "Bangarang", "Kill Everybody" and so on. Layers of pink and orange are layered, and this Matisse painting in front of me has the style of Giacometti. You want to know who made this tumult—this dripping popsicle, this bubbling draft beer, this naked carcass, and this charcoal roasting day.

Is it the "Candy Man"? Do not. The person directing the tube is Hamoni Colin, a 40-year-old man who is still childlike. When Colin was only 19 years old, he once wrote a script called "Semi-Mature Boy" to photographer Larry Clark. He has always held a provocative attitude towards real life. After directing "The Strange Boy" (1997), "Julian the Donkey" (1999), "Mr. Lonely" (2007), "Junk Bumper" (2009) and other "big rebellious" works, now Colin's works Not so radical anymore. Most of his previous films were about rebellious behavior, and the format was more experimental, but this time "Spring Break" is like a reflection on what he did in his early years.

James Franco was nominated for an Oscar actor for "127 Hours", but later became a famous performance artist, directing alternative short films, organizing art exhibitions, and having fun with various elements that symbolize violence and pornography. Presumably the director and Franco are similar, and the two rebels hit it off. So Franco, the protagonist in the film, is wearing dirty braids and full of gold teeth, singing a silly rap song. Four hot bikini girls accompany them, swaying youth and wild together.

After the hearty and violent carnival, the movie leaves people with endless aftertastes. The director once said that, in fact, popular culture and violence are the same. People are crazy about pop culture, but this mania will pass away quietly after all, just like it came quietly. Harmony Colin has reached the age of confidence. Will his enthusiasm continue to be as hot as it is today?

    It has a strong American flavor, a lust in neon colors, and a youth that returns to calm after agitation. Apart from the violent elements and the pop on the soundtrack, just from the image itself, it is indeed too MV, the photography is good, the editing is noisy, the plot is boring, I personally don't like it, that's it.

    Except for the cast, there is no highlight. In fact, the director only filmed for half an hour and the actors only have 10 lines. The remaining time is ctrl c ctrl v
