Not as good as Spring Breakers for me but still an amazing film nonetheless. I loved Matthew McConaughey’s performance and this is probably my second favorite Harmony Korine film. Loved it. It’ll get pushed under the rug of course but McConaughey deserves an Oscar nomination for sure.
The Beach Bum is a spiritual sequel to The Big Lebowski, and while it’s so light it’s practically gaseous, at least it’s not mean-spirited and immoral like The Jesus Rolls. The movie works, insofar as it does, thanks to Matthew McConaughey; his character is best described as a Southern Dude, and McConaughey is arguably the only actor capable of playing this role in a way that isn’t imitation, parody, or even homage, but as a parallel entity, independent and original (it doesn’t hurt either to have strong supporting cast that includes Snoop Dogg, Jonah Hill, and Martin Lawrence).There’s a reason to watch this film written and directed by Harmony Korine, and it’s called escapism. The plot, such as it is, follows stoner poet Moondog’s adventures in and around the Florida Keys, which involve copious amounts of sex, drugs, and alcohol.
Moondog is never hungover (presumably because he’s always more or less intoxicated), has no use for money, makes friends everywhere he goes, and generally always lands on his feet; as Moondog himself puts it, “I’m pretty sure the world is conspiring to make me happy.”
In the end there is no resolution because there was never really a conflict in the first place; the film is the cinematographic equivalent of a Jimmy Buffet song (to the point that the famously laidback songer-songwriter appears as himself).
The Last Movie
Another post-irony prank. Remember in Spring Breakers how there was this trace of conscience behind it? Just enough to see it at social critique as the girls gradually drop out and return back to humanity or face the consequences of their actions, bringing forth some accountable artist at work behind it. Beach Bum hints at avenues where it might go there with the daughters tiredness and stoicism, the ex-wife’s fate, and his legal repercussions; but any traces of lessons, growth or consequences are stomped to pieces moments later. Korine’s artist commentary is strangely hidden in its excess. Every one of my audience walked out. It’s so gleefully immoral that in this universe he’s rewarded with the highest accolades society can offer because nothing matters.“He just makes me so crazy.” Constantly it makes fun of any kind of real authenticity people can have between each other. It’s sarcastic Terrence Malick. It don’t care about nothing. A canary in the cold mine in late stage capitalism where one has these infinite resources and distribution, to make fun of god. The court jester throws out his inhibition to mock the king, laughing while getting hanged for it. Problem with both this and Spring Breakers is they become the real deal, actual culture in the process of their critique. While works like this you can only see the meaning in the opposite. So the film’s function seems to be mocking its own audience and their motives to see it in the first place.
Think of the performance art as the juggle of financing, banking, courting the industry to make this at all, reflecting the machine’s decay against itself. You could hate getting dragged through the mud but it’s pretty much the definition of iconoclast. Korine said, “These films mean nothing to me and everything.” As in it’s his way of chipping away and bringing down the structure from within. Its existence is an act in radical accelerationism. The end of the empire. collapse, civil war, the global digital juggernaut paradise-hell.
The ones not concerned with the world around them move the same direction except within delight.
Then the moral frame missing unlocks its true motive in reflecting the surrounding culture at war. Individual to a satiric extreme; laissez-fair ‘life is fun, have a laugh, there’s Moondog in all of us’, while really believing the opposite. Bum is a pejorative. The film’s conscience is not missing but inherent, and all the ‘endearing’ and ‘feel good,’ despite its endless evils and debauchery, are maybe being fooled by Moondog’s charm, which might have been its actual prank.
