Download Free Rebel Without A Cause

I guess it is impossible to write an objective review about this film.
James Dean is an icon, whose name is generally mentioned in one breath
together with Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and (surprisingly)
Humphrey Bogart. They all dominated in emotionally trend-setting
movies. In addition they reflected their professional work in their
private lives, that made them lamentable victims of the show business.
I was born just after the production of "Rebel without a cause", but
the influence of this film was still palpable during my childhood. It
may even have been the inspiration for this other giant film about
youths, "Saturday night fever". However, there is something uncanny in
RwaC, that seems absent in SNF. It may be that SNF plays in a social
environment, where one expects the natural fostering of aberrations in
the development of half-growns. The SNF kids are ignorant and, although
they are portrayed as essentially good, can hardly escape from violence
and brutality. On the other hand, the kids in the story of RwaC stem
from wealthy families, and have no material worries and little
intellectual wants. The violence in these surroundings seems abnormal
and leaves little room for sympathy. There is no excuse when two
characters get into a wild knife fight outside the planetarium. It is
absurd when a school kid carries a gun to protect himself against class
mates. And it is bizarre when a kid tries to strangle his father, only
because the poor man reflects upon an answer to his sons question. The
metaphor is clear, namely the search for personal autonomy and the
wearisome separation from parental control. However, the metaphor is so
extreme that it ruins the credibility of the narrative. RwaC contains
lots of hidden hints - supposing that I don't see ghosts. It is
probably designed as a film with many layers, for as many different
kinds of viewers. However the aim to touch and take along the viewer
emotionally is shipwrecked by the monstrous behavior of the main
characters. The viewer eventually concludes that the characters must be
mentally sick and insane, and this naturally excludes any feelings of
identification or empathy. One could speculate that this lack of
balance mirrors the spirit of the time, when the people were alienated
while trying to cope with the aftermath of the Second World War and the
violence of the McCarthy politics. Summarizing: this film is part of me
but not my cup of tea..

Not working. Sooo fired..

excellent version.

i like this movie u've 2 c it.

One of James Deans first & best ...Rebel without a cause...look for Dennis Hopper in the flick.

The high school drama Rebel Without a Cause is directed by Nicholas Ray
and stars James Dean, Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo. The film takes place
in a modern day small town and high school.

The film starts out with a young man, Jim Stark (Dean), in a police
station. He was brought in for being publicly intoxicated. Also in the
police station is a young girl, Judy (Wood), who is telling a police
officer about how her father hates her and all she is trying to do is
try to make him like her. The third important character in the room is
a young man, who likes to be called Plato (Mineo), who was brought in
for killing some puppies. Jim Stark is new in town and he moves around
often because he frequently gets into fights. On the first day of
school he tries to make friends with Judy but Judy kind of ignores him
for her group of tough guy friends. Jim tries to become friends with
the tough guys but instead they decide to start picking on him and
cause a fight. That is when Jim defends his honor...

The screenplay for this film was quite unique, it is rare to see such a
turn in a high school drama like the one in this film. I mean this in a
very good way, I'm not saying that I did not like the turn. Each of the
three main characters were quite interesting and detailed. Jim Stark
was a cool, mysterious guy that I really wanted to understand, Judy was
a girl who tried to be cool on the outside just to make her feel better
about how her family life was quite terrible, and Plato was a twisted
boy who just wanted love. It is not very often that there are such
strong written characters in a high school drama today. A great script
that lead to an iconic film.

The direction for this film was good, not great. Ray was able to get
some solid performances from his actors, actually iconic performances
from his actors that make this film still talked about today. I just
thought that a few of the shots he chose were quite strange. One in
particular is when Jim is laying upside down and the camera is upside
down and then the camera flips to right side up but when it shows a
shot of Jim again he is still upside down. I thought the shot would
have been quite good if he flipped over as well but because the fact
that he didn't was strange for me. Towards the end of the film I think
he did a real good job making it intense and building up the suspense.
Ray is definitely an adequate director and this film is the highlight
of his career.

The acting for this film was very good all around. James Dean gave an
iconic performance as the lead being extremely cool, suave, and
mysterious all at once. He was the guy that guys wanted to be like and
girls wanted to be with. Natalie Wood earned an Oscar nomination for
her role which was well deserved. She played cool when she was out with
the tough guys but when she was at home or the police station she was
weak and vulnerable. Sal Mineo as well earned an Oscar nomination and
was great as the mentally tormented boy who really just wanted to have
parents that loved him. Iconic performances from the whole cast.

Overall I give this film a 7/10 and I would recommend this to anyone
who likes high school dramas, great characters, and an interesting
plot..
