Do Rebel Without a Cause and any of these other movies reflect our society?!
Question:
Do Rebel Without a Cause and any of these other movies reflect our society?
In Rebel Without a Cause, The Breakfast Club, Donnie Darko and Dazed and Confused do these representations and values below accurately reflect our society?
Please help!!
The representations of average white, American, high school students as rebellious, careless, rude, self absorbed, disrespectful and roguish etc.
The value of hedonism, especially in Dazed and Confused.
Does that representation and that value accurately reflect our society? Why? How?
I need to do this on two of these films, one being Rebel Without a Cause and the other any.
Answers:
Really funny, but we were just talking about this today...All of these movies represent past high school life...Not all average white teens are rebellious, careless, etc... The social constructs of high school life (cliques) are not the same as they were in the 80's... Dazed and Confused does represent hedonism in today's society but not just in teens...Everyone in today's culture wants to enjoy life, but not in drugs, but with money and possessions.
