Bling Ring - 2013 - 6/10
Like others, I knew the story from news reports, and a Rolling Stone article.
Interesting film, and reactions. People around me were disgusted and upset by the whole “home invasion” aspect, while I shrugged.
Rich folks didn’t have home security systems?
Plus, I couldn’t care less if Lindsay Lohan was burgled, especially if she - or any of them - was Facebooking her movements and tweeting her home absences for all the world to read. Also, if the Kardashians had been targeted I might have laughed.
The high school kids’ use of Facebook and Google earth to plan heists was audacious.
Coppola walked a fine line being sympathetic yet showing their envy and greed.
I enjoyed this, but my morality is shadowy, and I understand how others were disturbed.
Note: Paris Hilton allowed friend, Sofia Coppola, to film inside her home.
