Struck me as the quintessential teen drama, but then I remembered Romeo & Juliet and Pyramus & Thisbe. Still trying to understand the popular fixation with James Dean. Sure, he's pretty, and yes, I've seen all three of his movies, but I still haven't been impressed by his talent.

I've been meaning to see this since I saw La La Land and I finally got around to it. This is a teen drama but man were teens a lot different in the 50s. Driving cars off the cliff in a game of chicken is no joke and they sure do fall in love fast. Anyway, James Dean is pretty great. As Ryan Gosling would say "I got the bullets!"

Romance, fast cars, high school bullies and dysfunctional families. This classic film sets the tone for many future teenage dramas to come. Dean shines and acts as effortlessly as the way we breathe. Natalie Wood does a good performance as Judy with similar family problems to Dean. Sal Mineo is a brilliant supporting actor and his shyness complements Dean’s quirkyness. I have seen the film at least five times and am still noticing hidden coded messages. They often reveal the hidden sexuality of the characters. Look what’s inside Plato’s Locker and notice how many times the jacket is passed around. ‘Rebel’ is ageless and I never tire of this masterpiece.

This movie really impacted the way teenagers were portrayed on screen thanks to James Dean's quirky acting, this film is a miracle and is the one that is really worth checking out.
