Movie Reviews of Rebel Without a Cause (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: A few thoughts...
Summary: 5 Stars
Nicholas Ray's 'Rebel without a cause' is one of those layered parables that lends itself very easily to analysis - and could be deconstructed several different ways.. What appeals to me beyond the substance of this movie is the very simple ways in which it grasps the viewer.. and usually when people talk about the movie they focus on the emotion of Dean's performance.
It strikes me that the subtle way Ray takes the triangular structure of parenthood is so very neatly reflected and amplified in the new triangular relationship that is formed later in the film (Dean, wood, and mineo).. This new triangle seems almost a dream but it is riddled with the same problems of the first and ends with the unfortunate but fitting climax.. Ray takes an eternally interesting struggle and perpetuates it with no clear resolution - as would normally be seen in a film from the 1950's.
Even when taking into consideration all of the other elements that are subtley thrown in - Freud, homosexuality, 'man alone' - it is the simplicity of the structure of the film and its uniformity that impress me the most..
Very few movies are able to express so much in such a brilliantly wrapped package.
Summary of Rebel Without a Cause (Two-Disc Special Edition)
In one of the most influential performances in movie history, James Dean plays the new kid in town whose loneliness, frustration and anger mirrored those of postwar teens - and still reverberate 50 years later. Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo were Academy Award nominees* for their achingly true performances. Director Nicholas Ray was also an Oscar nominee for this landmark chosen as one of the all-time Top 100 American Film by the American Film Institute.When people think of James Dean, they probably think first of the troubled teen from Rebel Without a Cause: nervous, volatile, soulful, a kid lost in a world that does not understand him. Made between his only other starring roles, in East of Eden and Giant, Rebel sums up the jangly, alienated image of Dean, but also happens to be one of the key films of the 1950s. Director Nicholas Ray takes a strikingly sympathetic look at the teenagers standing outside the white-picket-fence '50s dream of America: juvenile delinquent (that's what they called them then) Jim Stark (Dean), fast girl Judy (Natalie Wood), lost boy Plato (Sal Mineo), slick hot-rodder Buzz (Corey Allen). At the time, it was unusual for a movie to endorse the point of view of teenagers, but Ray and screenwriter Stewart Stern captured the youthful angst that was erupting at the same time in rock & roll. Dean is heartbreaking, following the method acting style of Marlon Brando but staking out a nakedly emotional honesty of his own. Going too fast, in every way, he was killed in a car crash on September 30, 1955, a month before Rebel opened. He was no longer an actor, but an icon, and Rebel is a lasting monument. --Robert Horton
