In two paragraphs, choose a director we have studied over the past year and a half and discuss his influence on this film. In your third paragraph, I want to hear your reaction to this film, especially the editing. What do you feel Lee is trying to say? Do you think he was successful? How did the film make you feel?

Bigger Than Life
In at least 2 paragraphs, discuss the use of color and the use of light in this film. Choose a topic you would like to explore in the film and how Nicholas Ray presents it cinematically.
Rebel Without a Cause
Please read Roger Ebert's Great Movies essay on Rebel Without a Cause. In 2 paragraphs, please discuss the following quote:
"Like its hero, Rebel Without a Cause desperately wants to say something and doesn't know what it is. If it did know, it would lose its fascination. More perhaps than it realized, it is a subversive document of its time."
Also, early in his essay, Ebert claims that "the film has not aged well." Do you agree or disagree? Give me one paragraph that tells me why (with evidence from the film).
