Review of The Wild One (1953) by Sarah G — 26 Dec 2006
Had this DVD for christmas and I first thouhg tthat I wouldn't be my cup of tea basically. When I watched it I was plesently suprised. It certainly explored the rebellious teen that went on in the 50's, which may not be relevent to today's standards. However the situation when the gang invade the town, then then residents can not cope with the amount of members. They then are scared to tell them to leave the town. This is happening today in Britain and growing out of control.
Brando performs at the top of his game once again and certainly changed the course of acting int eh 50;s. He played the character very well to such an extent that I grew to like him towards the end of the film.
The film is a typical 50's, has all the lements of subculture life in the 50's, which could be argued as been tame compared to day's film ans society in general.
Overall, worth the watch for any brando film and fans of 50's cinema.
