Spring Buck speech gave an overview of what Cornell, poses, recycles, and landfills (and reuse).

Spring Breakers (2012, dir. Harmony Korine) could be described as an actuality film, or a film that has no real purpose. Through his use of editing, lighting, and sound, Harmony Korine is able to create affects in the viewers. Some argue that this film is a feminist work, but after analyzing the film, I must disagree. Media changes how we perceive things and can be used to expand our perception. Film directs where our attention should be, and allows us to live what is happening on the screen.…
