Rebel Without a Cause ★★★★ Liked A 1950s Hollywood film that feels more like a French New Wave movie. It's funny how such an iconic American film comes off so European. It's a story obsessed with bad fathers and outcasts. "Ten years" Dean twice sneers, which is particularly powerful for a man who didn't have ten months left to live. The story captures the random cruelty of bullying quite well, and the hopelessness of the Nuclear Age comes across too.
The emotional core of Rebel Without a Cause is deeply resonant, even still. A portrait of forgotten youth in the post-war era, and one that still feels reflective of parenting in the internet age when kids are increasingly viewed as content for would-be influencers. That’s carried almost entirely on the backs of its central performers. James Dean and Natalie Wood are acting on the raw edge of emotion. The truly feel like the outcast youth of the generation.
