Talk:Thirteen (2003 film)

Note that the title is lower case, and should stay thirteen, not Thirteen. RickK 05:56, 14 Feb 2004 (UTC)

This seems a little ambiguous. Yes the poster is lower case, but just about everywhere else (including the Fox Searchlight site) has it upper case. --Lee Hunter 14:28, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Anyone else think this movie was horrible? I never saw the point. A girl gets high and becomes a whore. Wow, thats what some real people do. Best movie ever? I'm not sure... I don't get why the acting is so "great" either... Honestly the truth is quite sad, it isn't that difficult for an average 15 year old girl to act like a slut...

The point is quite clear: The effects of disfuntional family, drugs, peer-pressure, and deception on an adolescent child that is growing up way too fast. The film neither blantantly glorifies or shuns these themes, but rather puts them forth in a satirical sort of way that is chalk full of visual symbolism and relentless scenes. The acting is considered great because of the realism. It almost seems spontaneous and un-deliberate, much like the life of a young teenager. Who would of thunk-it.

Editing AntonioMartin's edits

Changes: revert title to proper lowercase; remove lesbianism referece (which was very short and very minor plot point in movie); fix wording and bias (e.g.: "It should be noted that the parents had problems of their own." (para)); remove inaccuracte reference to Nikki Reed's character's "mother" (cousin raised her, not mother): cousin was unemployed actress and employed bartender, not stripper. 69.140.241.69 06:59, 3 May 2005

Controversy

I added as much as I could to the "controversy" section, but it can defiently be expanded. Anyone who can help with it, please do. --Courtkittie 07:08pm, 11 July 2005

This is the worst movie ever made. --i8pgump 06:20am, 05 February 2007

Intentionally misleading?

How exactly? Did it have trailers making it out to look like a comedy or something?--Josh 19:34, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Gymnastics- exactly where in the film is there any reference to Tracy taking gymnastics? Anorexic- Evie does not introduce Tracy to anorexia. Apart from her occasional refusal of food Tracy does not display any sign of suffereing from this disorder.

Title is UPPERCASE!!!

Yes you heard me right. The title of this film is uppercase. According to the studio's official site http://workingtitlefilms.com/film.php?filmID=29 it is written in uppercase. There are plenty of films that are advertised in uppercase or lowercase. These are just for marketing purposes. I suggest we change this to Thirteen (film). Parable1991 02:12, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Having it in lowercase seems to be a too literal interpretation of the poster.
