The Bling Ring

In lesson we watched a teen film called "The Bling Ring" this film is based on a true story where a group of teenagers take on a thrilling and disturbing crime-spree in the Hollywood hills.The group, who were fixated on the glamorous life, tracked their celebrity targets online, and stole more than 3 million in luxury goods from their homes. Their victims included Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom, and Rachel Bilson, and the gang became known in the media as "The Bling Ring." 

The film did not have a stereotypical teen film storyline although it did have binary oppositions which include: Teens vs authority (parents, police, media) , poor vs rich and good vs bad. The film was also set in very stereotypical places that teenagers would be such as: the kitchen, their bedrooms, clubs and each others houses. 

There were binary oppositions in this film such teen vs authority and teen vs parents
