Thirteen

[Crystal]

Has anyone seen this movie? It's about a thirteen-year-old girl named Tracy (Evan Rachel Woods) who gets influenced by the most popular girl, Evie (Nikki Reed). Tracy gets led into the world of boys, drugs, piercings, etc. It's totally real and it's harsh but I thought it was incredible. It's based on Nikki's experiences, and she co-wrote the screenplay.

[gone_country]

I love this movie! It's my favorite. The acting is so wonderful. I just love it to peices! lol I can't even think of any words to describe it. Everyone HAS to see this movie!

[Amanda]

[whitney_m]

UGH! I bet I can't rent it! We have the CHEAPEST movie stores EVER! I swear man..I hope we have it! I heard it was amazing!

[KiD]

I wanna see it! I read about it, and apparently it is good. I wanna see it!

[Crystal]

Yeah, it's amazing! lol everyone should see it!

[xchEEsyx]

Damn, my friend tried to rent it, but she had to be 18 to get a membership for the video store...yargh. Oh well I'll eventually see it, I'm sure

[Sweet Pandemonium]

yeah, ive seen some trailers for it and it looks pretty good, ill just have to wait til it comes out on dvd over here!

[Just_Me]

I haven't seen it, but i really want to!!!

[avrilrocks007]

o0o00oo iv never heard about that, but it sounds good!!!

[MiLk n ChErRiOs]

i love that movie! one of my favourites for sure! it was a movie you can acually see happening in real life which was awsome. anyone who hasnt seen it needs to! i kno they said it before but go! go now! go get it! runnn!

[DearestHelpless]

The way they portrayed it was amazing, I can't say this is a movie I would enjoy watching again and again, just for the simple fact it's so sad, but it is an awesome movie.

[Crystal]

^ It's sad, but I've watched it three times since yesterday. It's incredible. I think it's a teenage girl's right of passage to watch this movie.

[whitney_m]

GOd dammit! I can't get any good movie in this damn town!! That really pisses me off! LoL! Since i won't be able to rent it i'm getting Josh to download it for me! LoL then i can watch it!

[gone_country]

This movie is like a right of passage for teenage girls crys, everyone has to see it. And that's an order!

[Crystal]

Yeah, Mal! Everyone goes through that at one point or another.

[infamous]

i've read about this movie awhile back inside a issue of teenvogue. The girl who co-wrote it was interviewed. i've always had an interest in seeing it but never got the chance to. everyone is makinng it really appealing, i think i'll rent it this weekend or sumthing

[Crystal]

^ Aw hun you MUST see it.

[whitney_m]

Oh My God. This was the BEST movie I have ever watched,seriously! I love it!!! Wow. It was so amazing.

[gone_country]

Aw, Whit you saw it! Isn't it just indescribably amazing!!!

[whitney_m]

^^YES omg....i already told you how great it was so I won't ramble on here! lol

[PunkyMalone]

I just watched the movie. I have to say, it was alright and the acting was really good, but... where did all the hype come in? It wasn't THAT good. It wasn't THAT realistic. I mean sure, there's little crackwhore teenagers all over the US, and at some point they all appear on Ricki Lake. But come on now, "Cute shirt." "Thanks." "Cute belt." "Thanks. Call me after school, we'll go shopping on Melrose." Nobody DOES that! That's not how you make friends. The general plot was believable, but the way it was written and the sequence of events was really, really missing something. Namely continuity and realism.

[Crystal]

^ Notice how Evie's cell phone number was unreachable. And when Tracy got to that store, Evie and Astrid laughed and called her a loser... until she stole something. Then they became friends. So it didn't happen immediately.

And I thought the movie was realistic. But it wasn't as hard-hitting as everyone thought it was. So they smoked and did drugs and gave guys blowjobs. Big deal.

Maybe it didnt happen exactly that way, but it's a true story, written by a 15 year old girl (girl who played Evie)....I agree the movie wasn't THAT good, but it wasn't unrealistic...it seems as if it might be in my eyes, but I've never been exposed to anything close to that. I'm a bit sheltered, but I have the knowledge that things like that do happen, rare or not, they do.

I know that that kind of thing DOES happen. I've watched enough Ricki Lake to know that. :P

And I know it was a true story and that Nikki Reed wrote it (she's a surprisingly good actress for someone who, to my knowledge, wasn't even into acting before.)

and Crystal: yeah, I noticed that. still though, Tracy didn't even seem to think it was remotely odd that Evie just out of nowhere offered up her cell. in fact, that whole scene seemed sort of like Tracy had a crush on Evie.

It wasn't a BAD movie. It's just really obvious that a 15-year-old wrote it. There was a lot missing.

I for one would have liked a little more closure at the end. And for Tracy to ACTUALLY do some bad things. OH NO she smokes pot and (incorrectly) huffs aerosol fumes. HOW DARE she perform oral sex and get piercings! What is HAPPENING to middle-America?

[OKO]

I dont think its been released in the Uk. It looks quite good infact, though It might sicken me, Because I am A boy, and If there is nude scenes of boys in..*Shudders*.
But it sounds like a powerful and good movie!

[PunkyMalone]

There's not nude scenes of anyone. I mean, yeah, ok, you see Tracy's mom's boobs once. That's all. They don't actually HAVE sex with anyone. You see them sitting on guys' laps kissing them, strip down to a bra, and then the rest is implied through dialogue in the next scene.

The actors are all probably under 18 anyway, so nude scenes would be illegal. ;)

[Jessie]

I saw this, and I didn't like the ending...It like just left you hanging. It bothered me.

[Crystal]

She's screaming at the end...It's like she's letting go of everything that happened.

[whitney_m]

The ending was my favorite part! I even cried! heh

[PunkyMalone]

Does anyone know which one Nikki Reed was in real life? Like, was she the Tracy character or the Evie character?

[Crystal]

She was the Tracy character.

[Amanda]

I finally saw the movie and I was not impressed at all ..

[whitney_m]

^^ Wow really? MOst people I know loved it. O well!

[DearestHelpless]

No Nikki Reed played Evie. Tracy was played by Evan Rachel Wood.

[whitney_m]

^^yeah we know that.

[DearestHelpless]

^Ah yes, I read a post wrong, I'm sorry.

[whitney_m]

^^^Tis alright my lovey!

[Alondra_Angeles]

hey guys!!! i haven't seen the movie, but i love it!! lol.. i want to download it, because i cant rent it.

CAN ANYBODY TELL ME A WEb SITE WHERE I CAN DOWNLOAD IT!!?!? heeeelp please!!! :(

[Crystal]

If you havne't seen the movie, how can you love it?

[Nirvana]

evies a skank does n e one here get the end???

[Crystal]

The screaming part or what Evie does?

[Nirvana]

hmmmmm <_< both i guess

[Crystal]

Evie wanted Mel to adopt her, but when both Mel and Tracy said no since Brooke was back, she got upset. She turned on Tracy and pretended not to know her. And then she turned in Tracy's fake I.D. and showed both Brooke and Mel all of the drugs, money, etc. which was in Tracy's room. This was all revenge. In short, you shouldn't trust people like Evie because they're not your real friends. Now Tracy has to take the seventh grade all over again.

I think the screaming part was just Tracy letting go.

[whitney_m]

I watched this again last nite lol. Well I actually watched the full movie with commentary! Evan Rachel Woods' mom was there the whole time watching every scene. LoL it was cute there was 4 of em talking and laughing in the background.

[Nirvana]

ok well thx 4 the info....i love that movie!

[ShatteredStars]

OMG! I love that movie so much. It's so good and the fact that it's not really a big movie, kinda like an idependant film or something, is so cool. Evan Rachel Wood is so pretty but it was really hard to believe that she was only in 7th grade..

[Nirvana]

well she is.....

[ShatteredStars]

I know..it's just strange though. I would've thought 8th grade, if not 9th..

[Alondra_Angeles]

heeey.. forgot my question.. ? a web site where i can download it.. please!

[Nirvana]

ok uve been asking that for a long time just f*cking rent the god damn movie!!!

[ShatteredStars]

Yeah really lol...it's worth some of your money so just go rent it already!

[Nirvana]

honestly just stop asking....no one has it!!if they did then theyd tell u by now.....by this time u could have reanted it...watched it...and enjoyed it...and actually b apart of this thread!

[Alondra_Angeles]

could you just stop f*ckin around? if im asking for the f*ckin movie is because i CANNOT rent it. It's not your bussines, so dont ask. If i bother you when i ask whatever i ask, just DO NOT READ MY FU.CKING POST!

[whitney_m]

*confused*

Anywho back on topic!!

[Nirvana]

ya..... <_<
well I found it really cool , because alot of teens are going through that .......my mom wanted to watch it with me :blink:

[avrilrocks007]

wow this is old! cus when i posted i hadent seen that! omg thts like one of my fav movies i love it!!! i thought they did a REALLY REALLY good job acting in it

[whitney_m]

Evan Rachel Wood did an amazing job in my opinion!

[laura]

i agree with you whit!! is she in any other movies?

[whitney_m]

She had a part in....Damn...The Missing. Well what I saw of it anyways ;)

[Crystal]

She's also in a movie called Little Secrets with David Gallager, I think.

She used to be on the TV show Once and Again with Shane West but it got cancelled.

[whitney_m]

Oh right she was in that movie with David Gallager! I remember reading about it.

[Nirvana]

oh ya i read about in a magazine I didn't think it ould be goood since it wasn't in the theatres.....

[AvRiL_rOx66]

i love that movie so much! my friend is really good friends with evan rachel woods (the 3 yr old girl in the movie)

[Nirvana]

you meen 13......I was on the phone with you when
I was watching it!

[Lennie]

I've heard of it, my teacher was going to show up on the last day of school, she said it was very important that we watched it and that she really recomended us to watch it but, I guess she wasn't allowed to show it to us anymore. But, I definetly plan on buying the movie or just watching it on Indemand.

[Nirvana]

it's really good....it actually shows you what some teens go through...heh...

[Elaine]

i've seen it many times and i think its an amazing movie

iionno but im a teen and i sure dont go through that....

[gwen-rox]

wow i saw it like last week its really depressing,
tho a good movie yet sometimes a bit hard to understand

[Clairey]

I hAvE to see that movie, one of my mates has seen it and it apparently reminds her of me. i just hAvE to see it!

But those are completely unrelated. :blink:

[Snagg3r]

I thought the mother in this movie was the most dumbest mother/guardian ever.

I think she was just a bit older than 3.

[PunkyMalone]

I think she means 13. Clearly.

[Sigga]

I really loved this movie. I think it shows teenagers in a diffrent way than all those teen movies that have all these stereotypes. It was darker and I liked it alot. One of my favorite movies.

[LEAH]

^pretty sig. ERW is amazing, that movie wouldnt have been as good if they had chosen someone else to play tracy.

[Sigga]

I know, she was really amazing in it.
Didn´t she get nominated for an oscar for it? or am I just imagining things.

And I can´t believe this thread is still on topic, very odd.

[Rejected Dreams]

I think you are just imaginating stuff.

She was nominated for a MTV Award tho.

And I thought the movie was, I don't know, my opinion is that the girl had to many problems. I don't know.

[Sigga]

I must be going crazy then, I was sure she was nominated for an oscar.

Maybe she did have alot of problems, all movies are exaggerated, but I still thought Thirteen was more realistic than most movies, and I like that.

[Rejected Dreams]

I am pretty sure about the MTV Award. Not sure about the Oscar, don't think so tho.

The movie was really exagerated, and too realistic. But it was ok. I mean, that is my opinion.

Edit: She is a good dramatic actress, I'll have to admit that.

[Heather Lovelace]

I totally agree with you, Adrie. I watched it not so long ago and what I most disliked aboot it was that I found it a lil' too over exagerated... But the actress was good at it. I think the movie was OK.

[whitney_m]

Holly Hunter was nominated for an Oscar for best atress or something for Thirteen. So, in other words it was nominated for an Oscar.

[Jessie]

I think that it shouldn't be thirteen, because I mean...do 13 year olds really do all that stuff? I didn't even start thinking about things like that till I was 14 and I'm only 15 and I still haven't done some of the stuff in the movie (and don't plan on doinf it for a while...). But I mean really...do 13 year olds do all that.

[gwen-rox]

I think it would depend on what kind of person you where and what type of upbringing you had, where you live, school ect. But yes it is pretty hard to believe that they're only 13.

[Dark Angel of Time]

Sounds cool, I'll go rent it.

[Clairey]

I've finally seen Thirteen, my Granda bought it for me. Its my fave movie lol..I just loved it!

The movie is all about Nikki Reed's {Evie} life, she co-wrote the whole movie with the director Catherine Hardwicke. It was origionally meant to be a comedy about starting Junior High. But it turned out to be more of a drama, focusing mainly on the events of Nikki Reed's life as a thirteen year old


Okii, I know far too much random information that I probably won't use again in my life, lol

[Carey]

You know....too much *hiss*
*slides away*

[~naked around u~]

i love this movie. nikki and rachel, they r both amazing actresses.

[conversegirl]

i saw it a long time ago, and it was really amazing...:]
