  • Summary

  • We dive into the bizarre world of Sofia Coppola's 2013 film, The Bling Ring, unpacking the real-life crimes of a teenage Hollywood burglary crew. We'll explore the flashy lifestyle they craved, the role of celebrity obsession in their motives, and how Tumblr's early 2010s aesthetic fueled our fascination. Topics discussed: the audacity of the Bling Ring's robberies and how they targeted celebrities like Paris Hilton, Sofia Coppola's unique portrayal of the teenagers, blurring the lines between critique and glamorization, how early social media focus on curated online identities fed into the Bling Ring's desires, and the ethical questions surrounding the film's portrayal of a true crime story.
