cricketbat Review of Rebel Without a Cause

Rebel Without a Cause (1955)

I'm a bad boy 'cause I don't really like this classic film

[4/10 · 27 December 2018]

I'm going to go out on the unpopular limb here and say that the reason Rebel Without a Cause is such an iconic movie is because of the tragic death of James Dean just before the film was released. It's not that great of a movie. The story seems thrown together, the characters are difficult to relate to and the young actors, especially James Dean, are overly dramatic and chew the scenery at every opportunity. That's right, I'm a bad boy 'cause I don't really like this classic film.
