Rebel Without a Cause

I took notes when I watched Rebel Without a Cause because I have to write a movie review. =)

HERE THEY ARE BECAUSE I WANT TO UPDATE MY BLOG BUT DON'T WANT TO TYPE UP AN ENTRY:

- Jerky panning
- Music – very dramatic
- Random parts, that didn’t seem necessary [like sneeze in planetarium]
- Some of the audio seemed weird or off or something
- Continuity issues (untucked shirt, then tucked shirt, etc.)
- Interesting to see two sides of the story/the stories of Jim and Judy
- Some cuts seemed too soon or too quick; seems like it cut some of the audio off
- Don’t understand what’s up with the kid that likes to comb his hair... [name?] – OH. HE’S JOHN! I’M SUCH AN IDIOT!!! HE’S THE KID THAT SHOT THE PUPPIES!!! – he’s also a creepy stalker. – his nickname’s Plato
- Insanely confused
- Scream when Buzz went off the cliff seemed fake
- The upside down shot when Jim was lying upside down on the couch was kind of awesome
- Seemed like Jim was kind of throwing temper tantrums
- Seemed too echoey in the living/family room
- THE CHICKEN FREAKED ME OUT.
- Why aren’t the parents like “Why are all these people asking about my son...?”
- Judy, John, Jim – they all start with J. Why?
- Why did Plato shoot the puppies?
- Judy got over Buzz WAAAAY too quickly; like, if my boyfriend just died, I don’t think I’d be all “LET’S GO TO AN ABANDONED HOUSE WITH THIS GUY I MET THIS MORNING AND CUDDLE AND LAUGH AND PRETEND TO BE NEWLYWEDS THAT WANT TO BUY A HOUSE.”
- AUDIO = WEIRD.
- Abandoned house reminds me of Sunset Boulevard
- Plato’s a little too weird... Like he’s creepy... O.o He’s all “I’M GOING TO STALK JIM BECAUSE I WANT TO MARRY HIM. HE’S SO DREAMY.”
- And what’s with Plato falling asleep on the ground...? In like five seconds?
- I love how right when they leave Plato asleep outside, Judy’s friends show up.
- Honestly, Judy, you’ve only known him for a day. What’s wrong with you...? Didn’t your boyfriend like JUST die? LIKE FIVE SECONDS AGO!?! WHY ARE YOU FLIRTING WITH JIM!? I know it’s a movie, but COME ON.
- You don’t love Jim. Honestly. Just shut the fuzz up. You’re just in denial, and want to love someone because your dad hates you.
- That’d be so scary to wake up to... It’s like “AH GORILLA MAN! AND THAT GUY WITH THE UGLY HAT! AND THE GUY WHO’S EYEBROWS DON’T MATCH!”
- The music hurts my ears.
- Dive, Plato, DIIIIIIIIVE. GUN!? WHY THE FRICK DID YOU KEEP THE FRICKING GUN?
- Where’d Judy and Jim go...? Weren’t they like right there?
- I don’t know why you wouldn’t look under the table. Don’t shoot them, Jim. They didn’t do anything to you. Okay, lie. They did. But still.
- “Let’s clobber someone with this candlestick!”
- Who’s crying? Is it Plato, because it sounds like Judy...
- I don’t get the ‘Support For Son’ thing that Plato found.
- Plato + gun = VERY BAD.
- When he shot Crunch [name?] it was such a WEIRD fall... REALLY fake.
- Plato obviously wants Jim to take the place of his dad and that’s why he’s like “WHY’D YOU LEAVE ME!? YOU’RE NOT MY FATHER!”
- Let’s roll in the bushes.
- THE HOUSE TOTALLY REMINDS ME OF SUNSET BOULEVARD.
- Stop shooting the police, man...
- More bush rolling.
- I’m having too much fun with this.
- “The police are after us, so let’s make out!”
- Plato <3s Jim.
- He’s trying to make them his family? SERIOUSLY MAN THEY – LOL! HE’S ALL “BE MY MOMMY AND DADDY! I’M A PSYCHO!”
- I bet Plato dies in the end.
- Y’all like breaking windows.
- I love that they all just jump in the bushes. It’s amazing. It’s like “I have to hide, let’s JUMP!!!”
- I hate Jim’s parents. And Judy’s. I like that you never see Plato’s.
- DRAMATIC IRONY. “There’s some other kids in trouble.” OH YEAH, BUT THEY’RE YOUR KIDS. xD
- Aw, I feel bad for Plato’s nanny or whatever she is. She’s worried about him. =(
- “Come out” of the closet, Plato.
- “That’s my son!” HAHAHAHA. “HOLD YOUR FIRE!” “ARE YOU SURE!?” “I think I know my son.”
- I don’t like Judy’s hair.
- Shoot ‘im, Plato. “You can shoot me if you want to. Okay?” HI-LARIOUS.
- “I’ve got a gun.” “Yeah, I knowww...” ... “How are you?” “Fine.” “That’s fine.” “Jim? Do you think the end of the world will come at nighttime?” “Mmmnn. At dawn. Come on, hehe, where are you? Whatcha hidin’ for?” SHOOT JIM, PLATO.
- I don’t like this. Plato’s a psycho.
- Aw, Plato. You look like Josh from Drake and Josh.
- Plato seems a ton younger than Jim. He’s like those puppies that he shot.
- OH COME ON. BACK TO THE BEGINNING. HE KEEPS TRYING TO GIVE PLATO HIS JACKET.
- “Can I keep it?” – WEIRDEST THING EVER. WHY IS HE STROKING IT?
- Shoot him.
- *hugs the gun* “No, I need it.”
- “You promised to give it back.” – CREEPO.
- “Every one of them wants to see that you’re safe.”
- Why? HAHAHA. I’m a bad person. :
- THAT MAKES A SMILEY!? WOOT.
- God, Plato is a LITTLE KID. Seriously.
- The slow motion when Plato got shot fit really well...
- That’s one sucky first day of school.
- Plato has his shoe on the foot with the blue sock and then it switches when you see the close up. CONTINUITY!
- I love how a kid had to die to get his dad to be strong for his son. :
- He’s dead, innit he?
- AW! His nanny/housekeeper lady!
- The police suck. =(
- Why does Judy care more about Plato than her boyfriend? I mean, it was sad, but STILL.
- And why are the parents smiling!?
- I like that the whole thing took place in like 24 hours. Well, a little more than that, but still.
