This film is like looking into the mirror of the Millennial Generation. It will be remembered as a quintessential Millennial film.. like Gen X's Reality Bites.
shareI agree. I think its reputation will grow. It's tapping into the superficial nature of culture in the 21st century. The sexualisation of youth, and violence as incidental cartoon backdrop. The unreality of living, through a filter of video game/phone screens.
Just forget you ever saw it. It's better that way.
Agreed. It makes a statement about the millennial generation.
shareDepends on which half of the Millennial generation. I'm a core age Millennial and to me the culture portrayed in the film seems more in line with elder Millennial's who were born in the early to mid 1980's or even late gen x (born in the late 70's). Despite the film being set in 2012/2013 the drinking and sex culture in the opening scene seems very 2002. When I was 12 and we'd take a family beach vacation we'd see the ''spring breakers'' out on the beach acting like animals on a certain section of the beach. I saw the arrests, the topless girls etc.
This wasn't really my half of the Millennial generation. We were a bit more reserved. A lot of us were hipsters and not really into the culture in the film.
