Review of Thirteen (2003) by Kylefeelsnumb — 29 Aug 2020
The most real teen drama movie. Everybody can find at least one thing they experienced -or wanted to experience- during this movie. It's so sad but It's not trying too hard to make you sad. It's just showing the real life.
Not too dramatic and not too comedic. That's why It's so real and disturbing. It tells you a story and you believe it. You believe it because it actually happened / can happen. Nikki Reed and Evan Rachel Wood was amazing in this film.
And Catherine Hardwicke's talent in this movie makes me speechless. The color use is so clever. First it's colorful, then it slowly becomes kind of warm and orange / yellow-y, then through the end it becomes colder and paler.
In the ending you can't even see color it's that faded and it gives you a cold and deadly feeling. The camera use is the best i've seen. The soundtrack is so perfect. "Lemon" by Katy Rose is still my favorite song of all times.
Also the 2000's culture in this movie makes me fall in love with it even more. Thirteen is not just a movie, it's an experience.
