Movie Poster

The movie Thirteen portrayed the struggles of identity, peer pressure, self-destructive behavior, and parental relationships. The two main characters Evie and Tracy struggled with finding their identity and peer pressure, along with a very complicated and strain relationship with their families. Tracy’s life spirals out of control, and she begins to experiment with drugs, shoplifting, and risky behavior. The movie is a powerful and intense film that sheds light on the challenges many teenagers face during their teenage years. I relate to this situation, which is why I chose to create a movie poster inspired by Thirteen, it helps spread awareness and shows the reality of what most teens silently struggle with both physically and mentally. Reflecting on the film can be a great way to gain insight and understanding on dangerous situations. You can think about how the character’s experiences are connected to your own life, considering the themes are identity, peer pressure, self-destructive behavior, and family dynamics.  As an outsider watching the film, Thirteen accurately portrays the struggles in a teenager’s mind, even if it’s the perspective of just one teen girl, most teens struggle with finding their identity and what their comfortable with which is more important.
