Movie propaganda

It's happening so fast.

Thirteen is an unflinching look at the sometimes-harsh world of a young teen trying to fit in with a fast group of seventh graders in Los Angeles. Co-written by Director Catherine Hardwicke and the then-13-year-old Nikki Reed, upon whose experiences the film is inspired, Thirteen chronicles the life of 13-year-old Tracy (Evan Rachel Wood). After falling under the intoxicating influence of Evie (Nikki Reed), the most popular girl in school, Tracy finds herself entangled in a fast-paced world that spins her sedentary life and emotions wildly out of control. Her mother, Mel (Holly Hunter), frantically tries to understand her daughter's radical transformation. Each time she reaches for her, she learns the extent to which she's fallen just beyond her grasp.

Theatrical report

Thirteen is a film that all parents and teenagers should see. Written by a girl who went through this experience (Nikki Reed, who also plays the evil Evie), the story is one of betrayal, manipulation, inertia, hypocrisy, neurosis. It's also a very real vision of peer pressure; this story is being played out in suburbs all over the Western world, no matter the socio-economic background. Just look at Nicky and Paris Hilton.
