Rebel Without A Cause-
A Review by Thomas Ortega
March 13, 2014
The 1950’s teenage drama film “Rebel Without A Cause” infiltrates
the lives of three non-typical teenagers and expresses how they attempt to find
themselves and deal with all the family issues they have. This film being released in 1955 is the basis
for teenage-based films and it being great in its own right make many new
teenage-based films with an essence of this film seem even greater. The three
main characters of this movie Jim Stark (James Dean), Judy (Natalie Wood), and
Plato (Sal Mineo) all combine to become friends and a group of somewhat runaway
kids who come together and somewhat become closer than friends in that they
have a strong bond to each other.
All of them meet in a police station and they all have a
problem with the police whether its Jimmy who was found drunk on the side of
the road , Judy who ran away from home because her father called her names such
as “tramp” , and Plato who shot puppies with his mother’s gun. They all are
present in the same place and are not there for the same reason which I thought
was a good representation of the togetherness that was foretold to come.
