comment
Thirteen is a 2003 drama film directed by Catherine Hardwicke, who cowrote the screenplay with then-fourteen-year-old Nikki Reed. The movie is intended to be partially autobiographical, as it shows what much of what Reed's life was like between the ages of twelve and thirteen. The movie deals with the experience of girls just barely out of their pre-teens and getting into situations that would be better handled by adults.The plot revolves around Tracy Freeland (Evan Rachel Wood) struggling as an adolescent trying to become popular, then becoming popular only to find out that the cost to stay there in morality and self-worth to be too high. Reed co-stars as Evie, Tracy's Toxic Friend Influence.The film was produced independently and only picked up by Working Title Films after production had finished. Holly Hunter, playing Tracy's mother Melanie, received Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for her supporting role. Evan Rachel Wood also received a Golden Globe nomination.As with other disambiguated pages, finding other things with the same title is achieved by removing the disambiguating component from the URL. A.k.a the "2003" for this film.

Little Miss Badass: Tracy tries to be this towards the girlfriends of the guys that she and Evie were screwing throughout the year once they angrily confronted her. The only reason the potentially dangerous situation did not escalate is because the school guards found them and broke it up. Unfortunately for Tracy, one of the girls threatened that it wasn't over.

Ironic Echo: "Speak up, I can't hear you!" It was first used by Melanie to confront Tracy about her belly button ring and later used back by Tracy when her mother was speaking in a stunned whisper while confronting her about all of her behavior in the intervention.

Former Friend of Alpha Bitch: Tracy ends up becoming this after she tells Evie she can't live with her family and sends her back to her cousin. When she tries to hang out with her again the next day, she shuns her. To a lesser extent, Noel and Yumi are this to a newly popular Tracy.

Pretty Freeloaders: Played with in regards to Birdie, Mel's recovering addict friend, and her young daughter. They weren't germane to the plot and spend much of the film in the way. Even Evie lampshades this when trying to convince Mel to let her move in, saying that Brooke would pay her "unlike the other freeloaders".

comment
Teens Are Monsters: Deconstructed. Tracy and Evie do behave in increasingly risky and alarming ways, but it's clearly shown with Tracy and heavily implied with Evie that they're both dealing with a level of personal pain and stress that they're too young to know how to cope with in a healthy way, as well as feeding off and exacerbating each other's toxicity.

Downer Ending: Tracy is sold out by Evie on her thieving and self-harm. Evie gets aways with a mild Karma Houdini and is implied she'll continue her bad habits in Ojai. Tracy has to repeat the seventh grade, her genuine friends from the beginning have disowned her, and she has a bad reputation at school thanks to Evie's actions. The ending shot has Tracy let out a scream, indicating it's finally dawned on her what has happened.

Et Tu, Brute?: Tracy has this reaction towards the end of the movie once realizing that Evie sold her out on her dangerous activities and the "hiding places" of all her drugs and stolen money. Evie herself feels this way towards Tracy and Mel, after her hopes of adoption come to nothing.

Off the Wagon: Implied with Brady. The night of the movie theatre/Hollywood Strip confrontation, Brady, a recovering addict, says he needs to leave because the situation is triggering to him. Mel tells him to go see Mario, their rehab leader. However, when we see him next, it's heavily implied he's been using as he's walking barefoot in the middle of the street and looking disheveled.

Fille Fatale: Evie is very forward and confident with boys and men and is heavily implied to have hooked up a lot.note  This would support her claim that she was sexually abused, as her level of sexual behavior would otherwise be very unusual and hard to explain for a kid her age.

 Thirteen (2003) / int_916c72b3
comment
Rule of Symbolism: Several times throughout the film, Tracy finds herself before a "Beauty Is Truth" ad by fictional cosmetics company Sibul. At first, its message and model reflect Tracy's desire to shirk her childish aesthetic and beautify, as well as her pursuit of friendship with gorgeous, popular it-girl Evie. The final poster a friendless, sexualized, and underachieving Tracy passes is tarnished with graffiti.

Heel Realization: Tracy has a mild one when the consequences of her behavior manifest at school, evident in her bathroom breakdown and subsequent accedence to her mother's decision to dump Evie back home with Brooke. She tries to continue as though nothing's changed between them, but by then their toxic friendship is destroyed.

Abusive Parents: Evie claims to have them, and it would make a lot of sense.

comment
Everyone Has Standards: Luke doesn't take much convincing to let Tracy and Evie kiss him despite their age, but when they try to escalate it to a threesome he seems to come to his senses and makes them leave. Brooke is about as far from model guardianship as Evie is from innocence, but she's appropriately appalled by the girls' stash of drugs and stolen money and resolves to relocate with her troubled "cousin."

Desperately Craves Affection
 Thirteen (2003) / int_bce904b2
comment
Desperately Craves Affection: Evie, who immediately gloms onto Tracy's mother and tries to manipulate her way into their family, as well as very quickly escalating the intensity of her friendship with Tracy such that they are basically inseparable after knowing each other less than a week. When she learns that Mel plans to send her back to live with her cousin and isn't going to adopt her like she asked, she goes outside and has a sobbing breakdown.

Freudian Excuse
 Thirteen (2003) / int_c868a42a
comment
Freudian Excuse: Evie claims she was sexually and physically abused by her uncle as a child and that he only ended up doing seven years for his crimes, although it's never clarified how much of this is true given that Evie has a tendency to lie. Mel reads a newspaper cut-out that supposedly corroborates this story, but Mason remains unconvinced.

Broken Bird: Both Evie and Tracy. Evie has obvious emotional and family issues (though they're implied not to be exactly what she says, since she tells different stories constantly), while Tracy struggles with fairly extreme self-harming tendencies.

Hypocrite
 Thirteen (2003) / int_d52d28b6
comment
Hypocrite: At the climax, Evie yells at Mel that she would not want to live in her house and claims that it stinks. This was after she had been a frequent (and eventual unwelcome) guest at their home and trying to manipulate her and Tracy into letting her move in with them. Plus, even if it was run-down, it was still in a much nicer neighborhood than Brooke's home, which was barely maintained and didn't even have a backyard. Mason, Tracy's older brother, was disgusted by their Dad and the lack of interest he had in Tracy's problems, but still accepted a wetsuit from him. When she asked where he got it, his response was "Fuck you."

No Antagonist: Evie is the closest thing to a proper antagonist the film has. But as the film goes on, the girls become a bad influence on each other, blurring the lines on who the real toxic friend is.

Younger Than They Look: Tracy and Evie are only 13 (though their actresses were 14 at the time of filming), but are constantly mistaken for being significantly older because of their clothes, makeup, and brash attitudes.
