So last night was the Movie Premiere of The Bling Ring at SM Megamall – which was distributed by Pioneer Films – Movie Punch<\/a>. The Premiere was also made possible through media partners Mellow 94.7<\/a> and Sun Cellular<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
It was our first time to be seated in the reserved portion of the theater – it pays to come early! \ud83d\ude1b\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
There was the usual game in the theater – it was a ‘bring me’ game for Android and Samsung gadgets, Paul and I sat back in our chairs – we are both iOs users. \ud83d\ude1b\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
I usually have a different post when it comes to the Movie Premiere itself and my Movie Musings\/Movie Review but I feel for this movie I would probably be giving in my two cents or some of it with this post. That’s how powerful and thought provoking the movie is in a way – Paul and I both love babies, toddlers and kids but I’m scared of teenagers! Especially the ones in the movie! But I guess it all comes down with how the ‘kids’ are brought up and what their values are.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

Lined up for the Movie Premiere. No Chanel here- Just Tyange! \ud83d\ude1b<\/span>\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
The movie is actually based on a Vanity Fair article written by Nancy Jo Sales – the title of the article ‘The Suspects Wore Louboutins’ \u00a0<\/i>I took the time to read the article and it was a very good adaptation indeed- even having some lines in the movie directly taken from the article. You can click here<\/a> to read it!\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

Truth is stranger than Fiction: The real Alexis Neiers and Emma Watson who plays her character in The Bling Ring<\/span>
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
<\/a>I guess the most disturbing thing about this movie is that it is based on actual events. I still cannot grasp that a bunch of rich teenagers would go on a crime spree of robbing celebrities of their personal belongings. It’s not like they needed the money for food or anything – they just wanted the clothes, the shoes – the underwear <\/i>– Yes! They even stole underwear – just so that they can say that they are wearing high end clothes, accessories and jewelry owned by top celebrities. It really has me worried as to how young teenagers have this concept of putting celebrities up on a pedestal, it just shows how much the youth value materialism that they let a pair of Louboutin define them for who they are.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a>The movie has that art film touch and feel to it which can be attributed to award winning director Sofia Coppola’s style. There are some parts in the film -during the gang’s drug-fueled nights-<\/span>(probably a big reason why it’s R-16) <\/i>that the movie feels like one big music video, the dancing in the club and all the wild parties – it is like watching a fast roller coaster ride, fun and\u00a0exhilarating\u00a0but you know that it will crash and burn in the end. Which is what happened of course when their theft finally caught up to them and they had to answer to Lady Justice.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0It really is a concern as to how some people can be so hung over celebrities and the whole celebrity life that it really makes you think and puts things into perspective.\u00a0<\/span>The movie has an interesting lesson in the end – don’t live a life that is not yours. We get so hooked up on designer and high end labels that we often times forget what really matters. Surprisingly the best things in life don’t come in a Louis Vuitton bag – the best things in life are for free!\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
I found an interesting article online that shows what happened to the Bling Ring gang and where they are today. You can click here<\/a> to check the article.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
