Description of this The Fury of Living Poster
Rebel Without a Cause is a 1955 American drama film about emotionally disoriented middle-class suburban teenagers. Filmed in the then-recently introduced CinemaScope format and directed by Nicholas Ray, it offered both social commentary and an alternative to previous films depicting delinquents in urban slums. The film stars James Dean, Sal Mineo and Natalie Wood.
The film was an innovative attempt to depict the moral decadence of American youth, criticize parenting style, and explore differences and conflicts between generations. The title was taken from psychiatrist Robert M. Lindner's 1944 book Rebel Without a Cause: The Hypnoanalysis of a Criminal Psychopath. However, the film makes no reference to Lindner's book in any way. Warner Bros. released the film on October 27, 1955, almost a month after Dean's death in a car accident on September 30, 1955.
Over the years, the film has become a landmark thanks to the performance of cultural icon Dean, who had just been nominated for an Oscar for his role in East of Eden and who died before the film's release , in his most famous role. This is the only film in Dean's life in which he headlines. In 1990, The Fury of Life was included in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress because it was deemed "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant."
In Los Angeles, teenager Jim Stark (James Dean) is arrested and taken to the juvenile division of a police station for "obvious drunkenness". At the station, he meets John "Plato" Crawford (Sal Mineo), who was arrested for killing a litter of puppies, and Judy (Natalie Wood), who was arrested for violating curfew. All three separately reveal their most intimate frustrations to the officers; all three suffer from family problems:
- Jim feels betrayed and distressed by his constantly bickering parents, Frank and Carol, but even more so by his father's timid attitude and inability to stand up to Carol; the problems are further complicated by the interference of Frank's mother. His frustrations are clear to Agent Ray Fremick when Jim is released into their custody.
- Judy is convinced that her father is ignoring her because she is no longer a little girl, so she dresses racy to attract attention, which only causes her father to call her a "dirty slut." ".
- Plato's father abandoned his family when he was very young, and his mother is often away from home, leaving Plato in the care of his governess.
On his way to his first day at Dawson High School, Jim meets Judy again and offers her a ride. Apparently unimpressed by Jim, she refuses and is caught by her "friends", a gang of delinquents led by Buzz Gunderson. Jim is shunned by the rest of the student body, but he befriends Plato, who comes to idolize him as a father figure.
After an excursion to the Griffith Observatory, Buzz provokes Jim and challenges him to a knife. Jim beats Buzz with a knife, and to preserve his status as gang leader, Buzz offers to steal cars to have a "chicken race" on a seaside cliff. At home, Jim ambiguously asks his father advice on how to defend his honor in a dangerous situation, but Frank advises him against any form of confrontation. That night at the Chick Race, Buzz plunges to his death when the strap on his jacket sleeve gets tangled with the door latch lever, preventing him from getting out of the car in time. As the police approach, the gang flees, leaving Judy behind, but Jim patiently persuades her to leave with him and Plato.
Jim confronts his father while his mother watches.
Later, Jim confides in his parents about his involvement in the accident and plans to turn himself in. When Carol declares that they are moving again, Jim protests and begs Frank to defend him, but when the latter refuses, Jim attacks him out of frustration, then storms to the police station to confess, but is rejected by the office sergeant. Jim drives home, and finds Judy waiting for him. She apologizes for her treatment of him under peer pressure, and the two begin to fall in love. Agreeing that they will never return to their respective homes, Jim suggests that they visit an old deserted mansion that Plato told him about.
Meanwhile, Plato is intercepted by three members of Buzz's gang, who are convinced that Jim has betrayed them to the police. They steal Plato's address book and go after Jim. Plato recovers his mother's gun and leaves to warn Jim and Judy, whom he finds at the mansion. The three new friends make a family fantasy come true. Plato then falls asleep, and Jim and Judy go to explore the mansion, where they share their first kiss. Buzz's gang finds and wakes Plato, who, frightened and distraught, shoots and wounds one of the gang. When Jim returns, he tries to detain Plato, but he runs away, accusing Jim of having abandoned him.
Plato runs to the observatory and barricades himself inside as other police officers converge, including Fremick who, along with Frank and Carol, has been arrested by the police.
