One of the best coming-of-age movies

I finally watched the movie that I had been waiting for in the list for a long time. I knew that James Dean in the red jacket was the icon of that era. I imagined that this movie was a reflection of the society at that time. It turned out to be more about families. The question is still very relevant now, with no trace of the age at all, reminiscent of the confusion, resistance, loss, and search for the meaning of their own existence in "Catcher in the Rye" and "Breakfast club" (the observatory and the universe). The introduction of history is the obvious symbol).

The film uses very concise dialogue and camera language to write the family issues of Jim, Judy, and Plato to the point , Jim's hesitant expression is really a manifestation of his acting skills, and James Dean's performance in this film can really be loaded into the film and television. Judy's long-shot dictation at the police station makes people feel like a trouble; and Plato is the most hopeless one, his family barely exists, which is why Plato must be written to death at the end of the film.

The colors of the 50s movies are really comfortable, but the soundtrack overwhelms the movie and makes it a little uncomfortable for modern audiences.

    8.3 The word "beautiful" is revealed from the beginning to the end. Lei's application of primary colors is impressive, and a bright and ambiguous red always remains in his mind. It is obvious that it is a positive and negative attack, but it always makes people discover the power. He shoots bold and bold under the framework of classical melodrama. The color of realism gives people the illusion of being like New Hollywood, and it really surpasses the existence of major Hollywood studios. If it is a 70s movie, it may rebel to the end, but this is 1955, so the movie finally returned to the family, but even so, the shock of its destruction is unforgettable for a long time, and the ending of several actors is smeared with a layer of sigh . Such a rebellion is not only "without cause", but also without effect, and the end of the world will come at dawn.

    The title is taken from psychiatrist Robert M. Lindner's 1944 book Rebel Without a Cause: A Hypnotic Analysis of a Criminally Psychopath. The plot has nothing to do with the book, it's just a very powerful name and slogan; James Dean Confused, decadent, melancholy but still handsome, the white T-shirt and red jacket are still not outdated in the current era; 9/23/2018 FathomEvents revisited, the "broken family" composed of three people, and Jimmy by the stairs with his parents The oblique shot of the quarrel, the historical value of the symbolic meaning beyond the film's story; for James Dean, when he met Judy in the film, he said: "life can be beautiful"
