The Bling Ring is a movie based on fictional events that occurred in the USA, a group of teenagers who sought the celebrity lifestyle pursued their desires and broke into various celebrity houses to obtain their belongings.
The main themes of the movie are crime, drugs and peer pressure. These themes are stereotypical of teenage behaviour as teens are represented as people who follow a code of misconduct. This is a teen drama because of the many conventions which are relative to teenage life. The audio used is typical of a teenager, its fast paced and relevant to the modern social group of teens. Hip hop and trance are the most common form of music used and are relatively popular amongst teens in todays society. The theme of rebellious attitude becomes present after the characters are exposed to drug abuse, the use of drugs cause them to adopt a specific type of behaviour which is contrasting to their norm. This further causing differences in their character as it leaves them vulnerable to peer pressure due to them not being in the right mind frame. The themes in this movie are relative to that which occurs in our modern society, the abuse of drugs and alcohol lead to wrong decisions being made and more opinionated stereotypes being created. This is different from other teen dramas as it only focuses on the wrong doing of teens and doesn't serve any significant purpose in expressing their positive ideals or representations, it is only a representation of the minority of teenagers.
The main characters are teenagers, these teenagers are strongly influenced by stereotypical views within our modern society. They are represented as nothing more than people who have no interests other than partying and only valuing expensive materials. However, the adults are presented as innocent and unknowing as they are unaware of the issues and activities which their children are faced with.
