Thank you once again for joining us on this thought provoking journey. The Bling Ring is a teenage misdemeanor movie that showcases the cost of bad company and peer pressure. Enjoy the life lessons listed from this movie.
- The Successful Bad Company
Marc (Israel Broussard) gets to hang out with Rebecca (Katie Chang) and is introduced to a live of fun trespassing and illegal illicit activities. They sell off stolen items and continue in their mischievousness. However, they finally get caught and sent to jail. In reality, we meet many friends in this journey of life and more often the people we meet derail us from our true purpose and goals. Under the guise of freedom and fun, many young adults have fallen victim to activities that ruined their life opportunities. Its important to discover and pursue your purpose and assertively tell off those who seek to deceive you into wrong activities. Know your crowd and choose your friends carefully.
- Friendzone Problem
Marc states that he loves Rebecca, but the problem was that he loves her like a sister. In the real world, all true lovers should truly love women like a sister they would want to care for and protect, but most women in their sexual prime feel like a sin. Like sex is too good to be for the friendly friend lovers. Maybe it is the religious perception of God being a disciplinarian that gives women the feeling that he couldn't have created and permitted men to enjoy such sweetness. Maybe it is the orchestrated lies and strategies of the enslaving systems and the bonded 1st who understands that most angelic would be truly nice to women, and moved to create a perception that sex was evil and only belonged to the devil. It is completely illogical to not give your love to someone who can give you all he has in return. Whether in foolishness or trust, friendly lovers are worth blessing with love.
- Vanity
The squad trespasses into the houses of celebrities including Paris Hilton's house and visits her closet, which looks more like a high-end boutique. There's so much clothes and accessories on display that you wonder if she ever gets enough time to wear them. And if she does, why does she bother to put them back in the hanger, when there's so much more to wear. One of the girls stumble on a bag which had some irritating content and it was cries of 'eww' all around. Maybe it was a dead rat or a mold, but that's basically the point. Most billionaires and celebs, even millionaires acquire things they never pay attention to, let alone use. Just like we identified in our book recommendation 'The Damned', wealth has limitations. Vanity is a waste of resources, but wealth seems to favour the vain. It is one of the problems arising from the imbalance of life.
- Beware Toxic Substances
The partying squad fails to reveal their stripping abilities on a Paris Hilton pole, although Nikki (Emma Watson) gives us a teaser into the general ability of women. They spill their drinks and stumble across the floor in drunkenness. The inevitable consequence is a car crash which sends them to the police. In reality, it is important to practice moderation. Beware of intoxicating substances, because they are created under a bond of wickedness. Don't get carried away by fun. You could be saving your life and the life of others around you.
- Sick Fascination
The mischievous crew is put through rehabilitation counselling and during a section, Marc states that the attention he is getting from the public is like a sick fascination. He wishes he was known for something that benefits the society, rather than mischievous activities of trespassing and stealing. A vivid life lesson from this movie.
A sick fascination from a world that's upside down. A world where the mad think they are sane, the fools think they are wise, the naked think they dress expensively, and the wicked think they are helping God. We are completely derailed from what our purpose and mentality should be. We are fascinated by and applaud things that ultimately harm us, and we rebuke and condemn those who try to set things right. Fallen short of our true glory. A mental rot that is aggravated by the rising imbalance in society. Our mentality is obviously due to the fact that the good don't benefit financially from being good, hence most good people appear to suffer. Therefore, goodness has no reward in our world, which implies that being wicked is more attractive, lucrative, and appreciated.
