Movie Review : Spring Breakers

To start, the film seems like your basic run-on-the mill coming of age tale with a group of teenagers growing up to desire more after they graduate high school. However, there are various more themes discreetly displayed throughout the runtime of the film. For example, one central sociological overtone of this film is Marxism. With this overtone, it becomes possible to view this light-hearted and comedic movie in a

This movie explores issues of greed, human relationships, betrayal and redemption, personal innocence and responsibility as well as the effects on the human mind

This movie Directed by Paul Haggis who also directed Academy Award Winning "Million Dollar Baby" and had also won an Academy Award for this movie as well puts a twisted story in this film. This movie is trying to symbolize what goes on in the world today in regards to racism and stereotypes. He tries to make a point on how societies view themselves and others in the world based on there ethnicities. This movie intertwines several different people's lives, all different races, with different types of beliefs. Such ethnicities include Caucasians, African Americans, Hispanics, Asians and Middle Eastern. This movie includes conflicts on both sides of the picture from cops and criminals as well

When you picture a teenager you picture fighting, drinking, or answering back, am I right? However, this is simply not the case. Sure there is the minority of trouble makers. However this minority is exaggerated due to the news showing only this behaviour. This stereotyping has found its audience and crept into television shows and series. This has led to the creation of a mockumentary called “Summer Heights High” which has unfairly represented teen

Q.1. What do you think is the main messages this movie is trying to deliver?

From my perspective it’s the judgement of homosexuality that is portrayed in the movie. Riddled throughout the movie is drugs, other deities and violence. Even the main character Che is an alcoholic bully who’s been to prison. How they wrap their heads around these

I was lucky enough to be able to view the film two weeks before its release, and I can tell you first hand that there are a great amount of changes to the movie. I think that some of these changes positively affected the quality of the movie, whereas other changes affected the movie in a negative way. I also think that some of these changes did not aid in expressing the important message of the story, which is that freedom of choice is important, and we shouldn't take it for granted.

2. Friends and family are supposed to helpful during a break up. In this movie Gary and Brooke’s friends and family were supportive and non-supportive. Brooke’s sister was her main support during the break up. Even though her brother did stop over to the condo with his singing friends, just to add fuel to the fire. Gary had his bar buddy to support him; yeah his ideas were not the greatest, when he mentioned they need to get someone neither of them knows to “handle” the problem.

The first part that upset me the most was the officer that now has to talk differently because an idiot wanted prove a point to someone for his clan the other part that upset me was about the two guys that lost their mother due to someone’s stupidity and feeling of hate

The Breakfast Club is a movie about a group of kids at Shermer High School in the 1980s who bond during their stint in Saturday detention. Each of the four teenagers represented show differing cliques that can be ever so present in high school. Claire Standish is a snobbish rich girl that looks down on her fellow schoolmates that do not match her similar appearance and behavior. Andrew Clark is a varsity wrestler that personifies the jock stereotype and hangs around with the popular girls like Claire. Another detained teen is Brian Johnson that portrays the brainiac that has problems socializing with others.

Whispers fly around the hallways, yelling can be heard from classrooms, the lunchroom is in no regards a sanctuary, but rather a social jungle of cliques and cliches. A high school is the perfect example of the decline in morals in America, but that’s a common misconception across many generations. Being a rowdy teen is a part of growing up and discovering who you are. Even though some teenagers can be difficult and exhausting to deal with, it’s a rite of passage and an important part of their childhood. Morals aren’t declining in America, instead teens are going through a series of mistakes that will shape their lives and will develop who they are as a person.

Another Issue was the race stereotype, I don’t know what the producers were thinking, but there were a lot of stereotypes like having all neo-Nazi’s look bald, and like skinheads who are out to wipe out the other entire race. I know they are racist, but they wouldn’t take it too far as a school shooting they just don’t like to be around other races. Also on how they had look at my own people the Hispanics they couldn’t have just said that instead of saying Mexican like every ignorant person who don’t know the diversity of the Latino culture it didn’t bother me, but I knew that the movie would have the perspective of people that aren’t diverse. However they could’ve lower the racism I know the actors don’t mean it, but instead of calling everyone an N word they could’ve given another term because the N- Word isn’t suppose to be used by any other race besides African-Americans overall the movie look and felt like a segregated community, until the end which united everyone at the festival, until Remy attacked the school which happens in real life situations. The movie overall got enough controversy to become noticeable. Even though the movie took place in a college campus there are some fears about

Although this film is disadvantaging to many people, it is also very beneficial. I think people that come from the lower class or an abusive household can really benefit from this film. The main point of this film is to show people that you can achieve anything you want to do no matter what background you come from, and although it might be hard because of economical/ personal issues you are not less of a person than anyone and you can still be successful. I love the idea of success because it doesn’t really have a set definition. You don’t necessarily need money to be/feel successful. You can work at Subway and still be successful while a twelve time Oscar winning actor can be successful. You sort of carve out your own success and make your own definition for it. This movie will also teach people that they are not on their own. Although you might think nobody is there for you, when you enter a room you don’t know what everyone is thinking or how everyone feels; you might now even know everyone. It is kind of like when you’re putting together a puzzle, you put certain pieces together and you get closer to finishing and you just need to keep trying to solve the puzzle because if you give up you just wasted your money on a puzzle

The prohibition setting allows transgression to be seen as accepted and normal for ordinary people. The criminalization of alcohols serves to demonstrate how personal choice can be incorporated under institutionalized morality. Furthermore, the setting creates a distance between reality and the subject of the film for the more conservative viewer, which is one of the justifications as to why the film was done in black and white.

The movie I have chosen to do my psychological film disorder assignment on is Girl Interrupted which is a psychological drama directed by James Mangold. The movie takes place in a mental institution for troubled women. All of the characters in this movie suffer from one or more mental illnesses such as depression, borderline personality disorder and schizophrenia. The movie gives us an inside look on how poorly these women are being treated and how they are treated as if they are abnormal because they are in this institution. Similarly the women are faced with their own personal and outer issues within the institution. The director gives us an inside look on how the patients are being treated poorly are
