what did you think it was trying to be?

here are a couple discussions that capture the movie pretty well:
LINK (probably the closes to my thoughts, though focuses too much on race)
LINK (decent write up, though i think slightly off)

I had been trying to figure out the purpose of the final gun fight. That review seems like it gave an acceptable reason to me. It works if you think about the spring break world as the real world and the college life as the fantasy. I had been thinking of it the opposite. The gun fight is the climax of the severity of competition that the drug dealers face in their pursuit of the American Dream. Interesting.

I do think the race thing is pretty off base. I guess it's there to an extent, but it is better to just leave it as a class thing.
