Havoc Starr's Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordin Levitt (briefly and Bijou Phillips (who I adore) of 'Bully'. The film surrounds the topic of cultural appropriation and how how the rich kids of Los Angeles, Hathaway in particularly and her friends try to imitate the Hispanic culture and street gangs. The rich upper class teenagers seek to join these people and wish to imitate their culture embarrassing themselves and getting into serious trouble and dangerous situations. It was a while ago since I watched this film but remember clearly that Hathaway's character Allison uses her sexuality and money to buy herself into these groups and clearly is unaware that they are using her and disgusted by her behaviour. The film ends with what you believe to be a romantic relationship between Allison and Hector ends up with Allison betraying her friend Emily, and her being raped by multiple men its a horrific scene and very hard to watch in fact I skipped the scene. The film is really mind openly scary at how the other half live and coming from a completely different place to where the film is set.
Its hard to believe their are people like Hathways character that exist. I really did like the film it was really intense but at time could make you cringe and laugh and some of the characters embarrassing behaviour especially Mike Vogel's character. The film had a Larry Clark touch about it and overall was a interesting film.
