Description of this The Fury of Living Film Poster
The Fury of Living is a 1955 American drama film about emotionally confused suburban and middle-class 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. Dennis Hopper debuted in a brief role as a goon.
The film was an attempt to depict the moral degradation of American youth, criticize parenting style, and explore differences and conflicts between generations. In the case of this film, it was the Interbellum Generation vs. the Silent Generation. The title was adopted from psychiatrist Robert M. Lindner's 1944 book, Rebel Without a Cause: The Hypnoanalysis of a Criminal Psychopath. The film itself makes no reference to Lindner's book. 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 achieved historic status for Dean's performance, fresh off his Oscar-nominated role in East of Eden, in his most famous role. This was the only film of Dean's life in which he received top billing. In 1990, Rebel Without a Cause was added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress as being considered "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant."
In Los Angeles in the mid-1950s, teenager Jim Stark is arrested and taken to the juvenile division of a police station for public intoxication. At the station, he encounters John "Plato" Crawford, who has been brought in for killing a litter of puppies, and Judy, who has been brought in for violating curfew. The three reveal their deepest frustrations to the officers; all three suffer from problems at home:
- Jim feels distressed by his constantly bickering parents, Frank and Carol, but even more so by his timid father's failure to resist Carol; the problems are further complicated by Frank's meddling mother. His frustrations are shown by Officer Ray Fremick when Jim is taken back into custody.
- Judy is convinced that her father is ignoring her because she is no longer a little girl, so she dresses in racy clothes to attract attention, which only results in her father calling her a "dirty hack". ".
- Plato's father abandoned his family when he was a toddler, and his mother is often away from home, leaving Plato in the care of her housekeeper.
On his way to his first day at Dawson High, Jim meets Judy again and offers her a ride. Apparently unimpressed with Jim, she declines and is instead taken back by her "friends", a gang of delinquents led by Buzz Gunderson. Jim is shunned by the rest of the student body but befriends Plato, who comes to idolize Jim as a father figure.
After an excursion to the Griffith Observatory, Buzz provokes and challenges Jim to a knife fight; Jim defeats Buzz by knocking his switchblade from his hand, then throws his own blade. To maintain his status as gang leader, Buzz suggests stealing cars to have a "Chickie Run" on a seaside cliff.[7] At home, Jim ambiguously asks his father to defend his honor in a dangerous situation, but Frank advises him against any confrontation of any kind. That night, during the chick race, Buzz plunges to his death when the strap on his jacket sleeve becomes entangled with his door lock lever, preventing him from getting out of the car. As the police approach, the gang flees, leaving Judy behind, but Jim persuades her to leave with him and Plato.
Jim confronts his father while his mother watches.
Jim later 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 begs Frank to defend him. When Frank refuses, Jim attacks him in frustration, then goes to the police station to confess, only to be turned away by the desk sergeant. Jim returns home, finding Judy waiting for him. She apologizes for her prior treatment of him due to peer pressure, and the two begin to fall in love. Agreeing to never return to their respective homes, Jim suggests that they visit him at an ancient 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 pursue Jim; Plato retrieves his mother's gun and leaves to warn Jim and Judy, finding them at the mansion. The three new friends play out a family fantasy. 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 hold back Plato, who runs away, accusing Jim of abandoning him.
Plato runs to the observatory and barricades himself inside as more police converge, including Fremick who, along with Frank and Carol, has been looking for Jim. Jim and Judy follow Plato into the observatory, where Jim persuades Plato to trade the gun for his red jacket; Jim quietly removes the ammo before returning it, then convinces Plato to come out. But when the police notice that Plato still has the gun, they shoot Plato as he charges them, unaware that Jim had removed the bullets. Frank comforts his grieving son, vowing to be a stronger father. Now reconciled with his parents, Jim introduces them to Judy.
