 Rebel without a Cause - gossip   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Rebel Without a Cause, which opened on Oct. 26, 1955, turned out to be one of the most important movies about kids of any generation--a touchstone of inarticulate yearning and anger to stand with The Catcher in the Rye in eternal adolescent appeal.
But while Rebel is the main panel in the Dean triptych, the filming itself was a collaboration between an alienated director who thought of Hollywood as anout-to-lunch dad and a star who worked as if he were an action painter and the role of Jim Stark his canvas.
The sense of collaboration extended to the entire cast and crew; they all felt as if they were the rebels and the film their cause.

 80 Percent Night: Rebel without a Cause
Biskind reads ''Rebel"'s message as a profoundly conformist one: That Jim Stark's problems would be solved if his too-weak dad and his too-strong mom would assume their traditional gender roles.
In ''Rebel," Jim asks his father, ''What can you do when you have to be a man?" Dean's stylish response to his own character's question was the persona that achieved its fullest expression in ''Rebel": a classic mixture of confidence, good hair, and smoldering sensitiveness from which millions of men have taken lessons.
It's the same contradiction that lies behind the mixed messages of a mass-media culture that extols bedenimed ''rebels" while urging them to grow up faster than ever and prodding them to align themselves with well-established ''causes." ''Rebel" refuses to resolve that contradiction, and the film is the more resonant for that refusal today.

 Stomp Tokyo Review - Rebel Without A Cause
Certainly, this is Rebel's claim to fame: it was one of the first films to portray its teen generation of moviegoers in a semi-realistic (if overly dramatized) fashion.
Now, Rebel was made in 1955 and there was a self-censorship board in the U.S. that didn't allow the subject of homosexuality to be portrayed in films, but Plato is about as gay as a character could be in a 1950's movie.
We suspect that Rebel Without a Cause (and other films like it) had a lot to do with the changes in Hollywood that were soon to happen; it was certainly a harbinger of the change in American culture looming just over the decade's horizon.
