The thing I like about this movie is that the teens all take themselves so seriously, which is really the way you feel when you are a teen. From an adult perspective, their worries are very petty and stupid, but in their world it's literally life and death.

James Dean's best performance. Nicholas Ray's use of space elevates this to the poetic.

I didn't understand what the big deal about James Dean was until I saw Rebel Without a Cause. (I hadn't seen East of Eden or Giant either....) Now, however, I think Dean did an absolutely excellent job as a young man looking for direction in a world where authority just doesn't care. The "You're tearing me apart!" scene, to me, is completely gut-wrenching. Great performances all around, with the chicken-race scene being endlessly imitated (but never equaled). Every parent should watch Rebel Without a Cause with their kids.
