The Bling Ring	comment	The Bling Ring is a 2013 teen crime drama film and the fifth film written and directed by Sofia Coppola. It stars Emma Watson, Taissa Farmiga, and Leslie Mann, as well as newcomers Israel Broussard and Katie Chang.Inspired by actual events, the story begins with Marc (Broussard), a teenage boy who has recently transferred to a school in Agoura Hills. Eager to fit in, he strikes up a friendship with the wild and free-spirited Rebecca (Chang), who idolizes Lindsay Lohan and the wider lifestyle of glitz and glamour surrounding her. It soon becomes clear that Rebecca has very little sense of inhibition towards her obsessions, and Marc becomes a tag-along to burglaries of unlocked cars and homes for personal thrills and high-end goods.One day, they hear that Paris Hilton will be out of town for a few days. A quick Google search gives them her street address, and they even find her key under the doormat (a detail that was not invented for the movie). They're soon joined by their friends Nicki (Watson), her adoptive sister Sam (Farmiga) and Chloe (Claire Julien), embarking on a wild spree of robbing other celebrity houses for cash, jewelry and designer clothes.The film opened the "Un Certain Regard" section of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.

While their behavior is obnoxious and illegal, it's shown that the teens are very much a product of their environment and have more complicated reasons for doing what they do, with a main through line for everyone being their obsession with the celebrity lifestyle. Rebecca - the real aggressor of the group - has a Freudian Excuse of a difficult home life. Marc clearly goes along with it because he wants to be close to the girls. Nicki and Sam meanwhile are shown to have an utterly clueless mother who indulges them.

Social media took an extremely long time in the 2000s to become mainstream - and at the time the film takes place, it was mainly used by teenagers and college kids. It was also quite feasible to have many people in your social circle who weren't on it at all, especially if they were over twenty-five. It wasn't until The New '10s that using social media to catch criminals was really a thing, so the teens can be excused for not thinking they'd be found out that way.

A very brief scene in which she dances in a sexy fashion in a nightclub and licks her lips, taken from the trailer, was extensively screen-capped and made into anti-gifs in the months prior to the film's release (however, see the next item).

The Bling Ring / int_e16217f8	type	Historical Villain Upgrade
The Bling Ring / int_e16217f8	comment	Historical Villain Upgrade: Nicki is portrayed as a vapid ditz who gleefully takes part in all the burglaries. Alexis Neiers claimed she was drunk the first time she went along with the others, not knowing what was going on. She later slammed the film for its inaccuracies, though of course the truth of her statements is up for debate.

The Bling Ring / int_e34400ab	comment	Ambiguously Gay: Marc; he's remarkably knowledgable about women's fashion, refers to another (male) student as hot, and enjoys wearing Paris Hilton's heels at home. He also never hits on any of the girls, and claims he loved Rebecca "like a sister". The man he was based on, Nic Prugo, is openly gay.

The Bling Ring / int_f26d5e66	comment	Brainless Beauty: Nicki is hilariously vapid. After asserting her baby sister is doing good works in Africa (as an example of the morality of her family), she casually admits the name of the specific African country had slipped her mind.
