Rebel Without a Cause

I think Jim had a similar experience as the teens in breakfast club. Surprisingly both movies are very similar. They both revolve around teens who are from all different circumstances coming together. In the Breakfast Club there is the jock, the princess, the basket case, the nerd and Bender. In Rebel Without A Cause there is Plato, Judy, and Jim. They where three very different people with Plato acting as a bit of an outcast. Judy was a bit of a princess and hung out with the
thugs. Jim was a nice guy who didn't feel like he fit in with his family. Another main focus of the two movies is the way every character seems to have a broken family. Jim thinks his father isn't brave enough to stand up to his own wife and they are always fighting. Plato's parents aren't around and he only has his maid at such a young age. Bender's father abuses him and yells at him.   One of the major differences in the two movies is how the
Breakfast Club is much more light hearted. Nothing that bad really happens. The movie is supposed to be funny but has a message behind it. They get chased by a principal, smoke weed and In Rebel Without A Cause everything is a bit more dark and serious. Jim is engaged in a knife fight, a fatal car stunt/ challenge and a shooting. The atmospheres of both movies are very different yet they have similar messages.
