      Before they call him a man

      Water fountains in 1955, and the issue of youth education appeared in American films. Perhaps "Four Hundred Blows" showed the poverty of childhood and the powerless accusation of the adult world, and the little four of "Guling Street Teenage Murder Incident" enriched the source of the protagonist's anger, but that was all later. The directors who grew up watching this film became a new generation of Oppa, interpreting the teenage mitzvah in their own way.

      The confusion of...

      If growth is a price, is it okay not to grow?

      I watched two puberty films recently, both were high school students, one was ?B, and the other was a rebel without a reason. The two films have different youth pain points, but in the end, the protagonists have both completed their growth and transformation. It's just that the price of B is two dogs, and the price of rebellion is two human lives. There is no distinction between the high and the low here, but I just feel heartfelt: Most people's growth path is made of asphalt at the cost of...

      "Rebel Without a Cause" - Adopted Sons Who Don't Teach Who's Fault

      This classic of film history in the 1950s, which reflected the psychological problems of young people, was translated as "The True Story of A Fei" when it was released in Hong Kong. Perhaps 35 years later, Wong Kar-wai's "The True Story of A Fei" also drew lessons from it. What the film shows is how bad the situation will be for teenagers who are "abandoned" by adults without a family education...

      some tidbits

      The opening Dean's performance on the toy monkey is his own design. He covered the toy monkey with a wrapping paper.

      At the end he added another act of putting a coat on Plato. Echoing end to end.

      Symbolizes that he found the father figure in himself.

      This film is planned to be made into a B-level film, not a prestige picture, so the preliminary preparation is based on a black and white film plan.

      But it was later discovered that the contract for the...

      Hahaha

      Dream Paris said that Nicholas Ray was the embodiment of the movie, and La La Land also mentioned the movie individually.

      It is the most difficult for a movie to talk about several themes at the same time, and I am most afraid of confusion between the main and auxiliary lines. There are very few movies that do well in many ways, with several themes at once, and they are staggered back and forth.

      The most annoying school bullying/the protagonist's family conflict, the father's...

      I have never rebelled, and after watching a lot of similar movies, I feel that it is quite SB, so it is even more so that I can stop being a daredevil and satisfy my fantasies, but I can't afford it If you can't get a girl, you will get a hot girl when you look at the people. Of course, you have to have money from James Dian or your brother. I am most like Brother Lin Xue, and when I see the first generation of Fei, I have nothing to say. It's not pretty, but it's so cool that it can't be...

      It's just so pretty! James Dean is the man I dreamed of in my cardamom years! I haven't seen one of his works before. The director is an original screenwriter, and that's great too! The film embodies the educational function of the film, directing social problems to the audience's eyes, sighing and arousing thinking and attention at the same time. Some children are "rebellious for no reason", and some have bad human nature, but it must be the responsibility of the parents if they are not raised...

    Inspiration and script

    "Revolt without a Cause" is inspired by two aspects. One is that Nicholas Ray feels extremely painful about his responsibilities as a father; the other is that Stein is extremely angry about himself as a son of man. But the point of view of this film is ultimately placed on the young people. The story of the film is directed by the director Nicholas Ray himself on the streets and chatting with the youth gang. The specific ideas come...
