Review of Rebel Without a Cause (1955) by Jennifer M — 22 Jun 2010

Easily one of the most iconic movies of all time, James dean showed the world how utterly cool you can be. It's a great story, a great vision and high class acting. I think it's every bit as good as its reputation suggests, if not a little better.

What appears to be a simple forbidden love story becomes a lot more complex and revolutionary than it seems. Themes that had never been dealt with were appearing and showing a more true representation of society.

It's beautifully shot and I think in a lot of ways it is the best representation of a teen drama, nothing else really comes that close.
