Review of Rebel Without a Cause (1955) by Ben F — 03 Mar 2011
"Rebel Without a Cause" is easily one of the most renown movies from the 1950's. It was apart of James Dean's three big movies that he made before he died. It's considered a classic. I think what's so interesting about it is how it approaches the subject of adolescence.
So basically this new kid comes to town and no one really likes him, but he wants to prove who he is. Well, he doesn't really, but he gets forced into it by the local bullies. That's your plot. The movie just analyzes and shines light onto one kid's troubles as a teen. Like I said it's a pretty interesting approach regarding the subject.
James Dean was very good in this movie. There were a lot of scenes where he gave a pretty good performance. Some sequences were a little over the top for me, but nothing I couldn't handle. He's the reason this movie was what it was.
Anyway I sat down to review this movie thinking that I would have a lot to say, but I don't. It's really a movie that you just have to see, because of it's importance in cinema in general. Some people are in love with it, and some people don't like it at all, but like I said, it's worth seeing.
