Write up of Bling Ring

                                              The Bling Ring  

Teen Drama:Type of drama series which main focus is on teenage characters. 

Bling Ring has shown to be a teen drama because the characters involved in the movie are teenagers/young adults so it is easy for modern teenagers to relate to as the topics discussed in the movie are associated with what teenagers deal with in their everyday activities which would appeal to them. 

Bling Ring follows the life of a bunch of teenagers that involve themselves in drugs substances whilst robbing well known celebrities that they idolise homes whilst still managing to life their teenage life of drinking partying.

In the film Bling Ring we seen that the actors portraying the characters are young adults themselves trying to play stereotypical teenagers of today. 

  Music used in Bling Ring fits well with its theme as the music is young modern hip-hop which teenagers listen to today so they will be able to relate to the movie. 

Bling Ring links with other teen films that I have seen as in this movie we see that they are in a clique where we see stereotypical characters the ringleader that strings them along which is exactly what happened in Bling Ring with Rebecca and the others stringing them along to help her rob some of her idols homes,with them being in a clique it gives of a sense of superior authority over others. We see that Bling Ring shown less ethical differences as we can see the characters are of middle/upper class.

However Bling Ring differs from other teen films as we see the friendship develop in teen films are real friendships whereas in Bling Ring we see the characters did not know each other as they cast each other out when they are caught showing how they were all using each other rather than building a real friendship with each other apart from that Bling Ring also tackles serious topics such as crime being the sub genre which is not common in teen films.
