In reply to Marissa. Ha ha, thanks Marissa! I think you're right, Coppola has certainly made a vapid and empty film about modern rich-kid youth living the dream. Trouble is, we see this every single day on reality television, so why would I watch a FILM about it? Thanks for stopping in!

Maybe you could stretch some deeper meaning out of it, surmising that Coppola wanted to make as vapid and empty a movie as her subjects and their inspiration. That's great for a Film & Society term paper, but it doesn't exactly make for a riveting movie.

In reply to Nostra. See I didn't get that out of it at all. I wanted to understand why these kids felt it was okay to do this, why they thought they could get away with it and that when they did, there wouldn't be serious ramifications. Is Coppola sayig that these kids were just in it for kicks? Nothing going on back home to drive them to do this? The film's ambivalence to its character just annoyed me....

I quite enjoyed it and I liked the fact that it shows what happens and leaves judgement up to the viewer. It makes clear what appealed to these kids and why they kept doing it. My recent post The Fifth Estate (2013)

In reply to LightsCameraReaction. Ha ha, it wasn't the greatest film I've ever seen, I just thought it offered no commentary (good or bad) on what these imbeciles were doing, and that's where it lost me.

I was expecting you to give The Bling Ring a lower rating. I really loved it haha. Glad you liked Watson!
Nice review.
