Unlike other movie reviewers, I quite like The Bling Ring. I mean, when will you have a chance staring at those beautifully branded and so sparkling clothes, dress and shoes? It's like Sex and The City and Bonnie&Clyde combined. Those kids (people gave their gang a name, The Bling Ring) really have the guts to stole those Orlando Bloom's Rolexes that worth a lot of money. It's insane!
Sofia Coppola shows us that it's pretty natural for a teenage girl wanting expensive stuffs that she can't buy. Katie Chang succeed potraying Rebecca, the mastermind of The Bling Ring Gang. She blend in with her character. Although, Rebecca's face always kinda flat but, you can see her passion, ambition and her fiery eyes of owning those super expensive stuffs. Also, she really got the chemistry with her sidekick, Marc. You will love these dynamic duo! They rob those houses but they always support and convince each other to remain calm like Bonnie and Gay Clyde.
I know Sofia Coppola is capable to make this movie better, because who doesn't love Lost In Translation? We really have a high expectation on you, Sof :p. Maybe she just lost her bling somewhere. But, she is still Sofia Coppola! This movie has its own style. The color of the film, for example, it's soft and shiny when the girls are out partying and robbing celeb's houses, then it changed into pastel colors when they were home with their parents. I love the color of the film, it's affected to the mood of this movie.
And for those who complain about the ending, GO MAKE YOUR OWN GODDAMN MOVIE! It's based on real event. How the hell she supposed to make the ending? She can't just make up the ending when Rebecca going to Harvard after 5 years in jail. It's pretty clear that The Bling Ring Gang are sentenced and no further explanation needed.
But my rating for this movie is only 1.5 out of 5. You can do better than this, Sof! :)
