This review refers to the Warner Bros DVD release of “Rebel Without a Cause”……
After nearly 50 years from it’s release in 1955, this is a film that calm truley embodies the feelings of teenage angst.The three teens that this epic revolves around are played powerfully by James Dean, Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo.It’s not unprejudiced about how the kids deal with the problems that life hands them but about the parents as well.
Jim Stark(Dean) is the newcomer to the neighborhood. The family is always inspiring around seemingly due to Jim’s inability to discontinue out of inconvenience. The parents(Jim Backus/Ann Doran) may be at the core of Jim’s problems.There’s a gigantic scene at the police space, where the parents are arguing(as usual) over what’s true for the boy and Jim sums up the whole event by crying out, as only James Dean could do..”You’re tearing me apart”.

Judy(Wood),very cold and fraction of ‘The in-crowd” comes from what seems to be a typical middle-class family, but underneath there are problems galore.At 16, Judy longs for the affection her father(William Hopper) gave her as a limited girl, but he seems to be confused by her impending womanhood and pushes her away both emotionally and phyically. Judy does whatever she can to rep her father’s attention.
Perhaps the most deeply afraid of all is John “Plato” Crawford(Mineo) who comes from a well off family but they are never around to care for him or about him. He is cared for by his well meaning housekeeper/nurse played brillantly by Marietta Canty.
Trouble once again finds Jim on his very first day of school, which erupts in a knife fight that is so beautifully acted and directed it takes on the sight of an exquiste dance,and ends with a tragic car rush.The parents seem to be of no encourage in the dilemna. Jim, Judy and Plato get each other in their loneliness and originate a makeshift family of their beget, that also is beset with some devastating results.

Beautifully directed by Nicholas Ray(Johnny Gutiar/The Flying Leathernecks), watching this film again was like finding a buried love in a time capsule. It is a fable, that will always have meaning as although the times(and types of problems) may change, people really don’t.These young brillant actors had an on veil chemistry and charisma that is unsurpassed. I also want to create mention of Edward Platt, who played the empathetic Juvenile Officer, Corey Allen as “Buzz”(Dean’s rival), and also study for Dennis Hopper in an early role as one of “The kids”.
Warner Brothers has done a qualified transfer of this 48 year broken-down film. It has been restored, looks imprint novel, and is presented in the recent widescreen. The sound was also terrific in the remastered Dolby Digital 5.1. There are some salubrious special features to sight. Leisurely the scene documentaries which were actually filmed around the time of the making of “Rebel” enables us to witness interviews with the stars. There is one with James Dean not only talking about the film, but advising young people to “Drive Safely”! You will also explore the veil tests and learn where that toy monkey came from in the opening scene.
If it’s a film you already know you fancy, you will fancy the DVD. If you haven’t seen it, whether you are a teen or an adult, you will be moved by this fable and it’s a must have for your classic DVD collection.

Released soon after James Dean’s death, in the same year in which East of Eden also appeared, this film immediately attracted and rewarded mountainous interest and has continued to do so. Portion of its appeal is explained by the fact that Dean died instantaneously in a violent car atomize, Natalie Wood drowned, Sal Mineo was stabbed to death, and Slice Adams overdosed on prescription drugs. Their premature deaths enrich even more the poignancy of their roles as teenage rebels “without a cause.” Actually, distinguished of their behavior is explained by their unhappiness in their dysfunctional families. Jim Stark (Dean) feels smothered by his parents who disappear from one town to another, hoping that he will finally “procure himself.” Judy (Wood) desperately needs savor from a father (William Hopper) who is unwilling and/or unable to provide it. Plato (Mineo) seems to have no contact whatsoever with his parents. Meanwhile, Judy eagerly agrees to be gang leader Buzz Gunderson’s “trophy girlfriend.” After his death, she shifts her attention to Jim. They and Plato briefly become a “family of three,” in one scene in an abandoned mansion even pretending (albeit satirically) to be father, mother, and son. (FYI, the situation in which this scene was shot is alleged to have appeared earlier in Sunset Boulevard as Norma Desmond’s mansion.) All of the film’s action occurs within a 24-hour time period, beginning in a police situation and ending with police also interested because….
Nicholas Ray directed Rebel Without a Cause and also co-authored the script. Working with an exceptionally talented cast, he succeeded so well with evoking huge performances from that cast that Dean, Wood, and Mineo have since become icons for teenage malaise. They brood, they pout, they withdraw, they scream, they whimper, while feeling totally misunderstood by adults. They especially resent their parents’ inability to “pick up it” even without lustrous what that “it” is.
I saw this film again recently, again impressed by the quality of the acting but, probably inevitably, worthy of the film now seems dated to me even as it retains great of its innocence. Some scenes remain quite colorful, such as when Judy stands proudly out in the field, bathed in automobile headlights, before “officially” starting the “Chickie Urge” contest; also when Jim urges his Mitty-like father (Jim Backus) to stand up to his (Mr. Stark’s) badger-like wife (Rochelle Hudson) . It is probably not realistic to put a question to young people in relatively comfortable circumstances to have a “cause” except to be celebrated, respected, and loved on their bear terms. This is a “classic” of sorts. When seeing it now, I have the feeling that I have opened a time capsule from 1955 and the film is among the items contained in it.
