A assemblage of indulged teenagers commit the most audacious
crime using certain types of medium such as Social media and celebrity blog
websites to hunt for the Hollywood hills mansion owners address this is the
most impudent burglary in Hollywood recent history the group were accused of
stealing more than $3million in clothing and jewellery from A listers , with a total disregard for
privacy and do not have proper usage for
disguises, the group brag aimlessly on
social media websites to friends and how long they can keep this disarray up
for? The film based on true events from an article in Vanity Fair “The suspects
wore Louboutins”
As the soundtrack purely states with Frank oceans line “Super
rich kids with nothing but fake friends” has a line been more pertinent. Teenagers
of our generation can most certainly relate to Facebook and twitter stalking
and nicknaming our friends “bitches” a very endearing name to close friends a
sort of entitlement if you may. The
Bling Ring started as a Vanity Fair article in 2010 “The Suspects wore
Louboutins” with the boredom of dropout high schoolers fuelled this passion for
fashion! The article detailed the crime binge and the use of technology and to
the yearning and pleasure to be on an E! Entertainment channel the group
stealing more than $3million worth of cash. Coppola paints these characters
quickly telling small strokes. Hopeful fashionista more like wannabe Rebecca
(Katie Chang) wants to attend fashion school “where all the Hills girls went”. Reserved
new boy Marc (Isreal Broussard) wants to be noticed and have friends and be
popular. Nicki (Emma Watson) and her sister Emily (Georgia Rock) and best friend
(Taissa Farmiga) are home schooled by a air head mother (Leslie Mann) in lesson
from self help to self attraction. This group of teenagers wish and want to be
living in a world of Balmain and Paris Hilton are their new worshipers and soon
decide they want to be slaves to that world.
Coppola has a excellent recognition for youth and particularly
the flow of female friendships, she draws perfectionist performances from her
very young cast. With Emma Watson building up her actress profile with building
character from Perks of Being a Wall flower Watson offers a seamless delivery
of self indulgent and almost self delusional and lead from her mother defiantly
living vicariously through her life. Chang posses a light and you can almost
tell she is the groups full on ring leader.
Like most of Coppolas previous films she has based her heroines
trapped in prisons of suburbia. The characters have a gratis by the internet
showing similarities to films such as the Social Network and the other Guys,
few films are captured on the life of social media but these lives are done so accurately.
Coppola is also recognised for her spectacular shot especially in one scene of
the Audrina Partridges house being broken in to the shot is done in a elegant
wide shot of the two protagonist Marc and Rebecca ransacking her home. Each robbery has a divergent look with three robberies
being looked at through footage of the robberies. The film most defiantly has a fluid ethical
side to it and this makes the film all the more interesting for it. The film is
intoxicating it may not deliver certain resilience such as Lost In translation and
Marie Antoinette but it does almost certainly catch the teenage generation
today.
It provokes a extremely less violent Reservoir dogs gang members
especially when they walk down the street in recent stolen goods to Kanye West’s
Power which shows how most teens desire to akin to. A small snapshot of the dreams of Airhead teens today. The devils Most certainly wore Prada.
