2 Rebel Without a Cause

Бунтарь без причины

   1955 – США (111 мин)

     Произв. Warner (Дэйвид Уайсбарт)

     Реж. НИКОЛАС РЕЙ

     Сцен. Стюарт Стерн, Ирвинг Шулмен по сюжету Николаса Рея

     Опер. Эрнест Хэллер (Warnercolor, Cinemascope)

     Муз. Леонард Розенманн

     В ролях Джеймс Дин (Джим Старк), Натали Вуд (Джуди), Сэл Минио (Платон), Джим Бакус (отец Джима), Энн Доран (мать Джима), Кори Аллен (Базз), Деннис Хоппер (Гун), Рошель Хадсон (мать Джуди), Уильям Хоппер (отец Джуди), Эдвард Платт (Рей), Иэн Вулф (преподаватель в планетарии), Мариэтта Кэнти (чернокожая служанка), Ник Эдамз (Муз).

   Трое молодых людей знакомятся в полицейском участке американского города среди ночи: подвыпивший Джим сетует на слабохарактерность отца и постоянное давление матери; у 16-летней Джуди тоже проблемы с отцом, который не понимает ее и не выносит теплоты в отношениях; Платона, самого младшего из троицы, бросила мать: она ушла от мужа и доверила сына чернокожей служанке. Протрезвев, Джим рассказывает о своих проблемах полицейскому Рею, чуткому и внимательному человеку, и тот предлагает Джиму приходить к нему, когда захочется поговорить. За Джимом приходят родители. На следующий день он впервые идет в университет. Его родители постоянно переезжают, поскольку не видят другого решения проблем. По дороге Джим встречает Джуди, с которой познакомился в участке. Она вступила в банду под руководством Базза: это ее парень. 1-я лекция, на которую попадает Джим, проходит в планетарии. Преподаватель рассказывает о гипотезе, по которой планета Земля образовалась в результате взрыва – событие мелкое с точки зрения космоса.

   После лекции Джима поджидают на улице Базз и его банда; они протыкают шину его автомобилю. Базз вызывает Джима на поединок, и Джим оказывается ловчее соперника. Базз предлагает ему встретиться вечером и принять участие в необычной гонке. Базз и Джим сядут в угнанные машины и помчатся к обрыву над океаном. Тот, кто первым выпрыгнет из машины, будет считаться трусом. Джуди дает сигнал к старту. Джим успевает выпрыгнуть, но Базз цепляется рукавом за дверную ручку и вместе с машиной падает в океан. После этого происшествия молодые люди разбегаются по домам. Джим рассказывает обо всем родителям, и те советуют ему не ходить в полицию. Он их не слушает и идет в полицейский участок, где натыкается на 3 парней из банды Базза, которым как раз оформляют привод. Они думают, что Джим выдал их. В действительности же Джим хочет поговорить с инспектором Реем, но того нет на месте.

   Джим находит Джуди, которая так же, как и он, не хочет возвращаться к родителям. 3 члена банды берутся за Платона и крадут его записную книжку, чтобы узнать адрес Джима. Платон очень хочет с тать лучшим другом Джима (ему не хватает отца); он ищет его, чтобы предупредить об опасности. Преступная троица наведывается к родителям Джима и вешает курицу на их двери. Джим и Джуди приходят на заброшенную виллу, принадлежащую семье Платона. Платон находит их. На руинах большого особняка, в котором есть даже бассейн, трое молодых людей забавляются как дети, причем Джим и Джуди разыгрывают новобрачных. Платон засыпает. Джим и Джуди признаются друг другу в любви. Вскоре Платон оказывается в окружении 3 бандитов. В одного он стреляет из револьвера. Остальные 2 гонятся за ним, и он спасается в планетарии, откуда его пытается выгнать полиция. Джим и Джуди пробираются в здание и уговаривают его сдаться. Испугавшись прожекторов, Платон бежит и погибает под пулями. Джим в отчаянии показывает полицейским пули, которые он вынул из его револьвера. Затем он знакомит Джуди со своими родителями.

   ► 2-й фильм Джеймса Дина и 1-й крупный успех Николаса Рея, известного прежде лишь небольшой группе посвященных. По правде говоря, для Рея Бунтарь без причины так и останется единственным коммерческим успехом. Этот фильм позволит ему продолжить карьеру в Голливуде, хотя карьера эта преждевременно оборвется 10 годами позже. Сценарный материал могла захлестнуть волна штампов, пришедших из фильмов о трудных подростках, от которых Голливуд в то время был без ума. Но поэтичность и лиричность авторского стиля выходят за рамки этого материала. Лиризм Николаса Рея располагает персонажей в декорациях (планетарий, отвесный обрыв над океаном, заброшенная роскошная вилла в стиле Кокто), в большинстве своем вызывающих мысли о конце света, экзистенциальное головокружение у героев фильма – подростков, которые ищут себя и отчаянно нуждаются хоть в каких-нибудь ценностях. Конфликтные отношения с родителями усиливают их неуверенность, а неуверенность приводит к мрачному упоению жизнью. Мастерство Рея в этой картине видно по тому, как он использует социологический контекст для поэтических размышлений на тему одиночества, насилия и неизлечимой тоски некоторых людей. Ему как художнику тоже нужны оправдания, чтобы установить контакт с массовым зрителем, и это придает его фильму определенную двусмысленность, аромат декаданса – еще один источник обаяния.

   В самом деле, на строго социологическом уровне Бунтарь без причины лишен той силы реализма, что отличает, например, Стучись в любую дверь, Knock on Any Door, и социальное положение банды, сплотившейся вокруг Базза, остается довольно туманным. Если фильму удается преодолеть собственную склонность к декадентству, то происходит это благодаря его драматургической строгости, преувеличенной театральности. Все действие фильма сжато в 24 часа (фильм начинается и заканчивается среди ночи) и разворачивается в нескольких местах, которые и банальны, и необыкновенны, и прекрасно смотрятся в широкоэкранном формате. В этих декорациях происходят подчас очень длинные сцены, таящие в себе яркие и незабываемые моменты. Фильм внес существенный вклад в подкрепление мифа о Джеймсе Дине, сложившегося после К востоку от рая, East of Eden. Но очевидно, что любимый персонаж Рея ― подросток Платон (Сэл Минио), гораздо более хрупкий, чем герой Джеймса Дина. Отчаянная нехватка дружбы и отцовской любви приведет его прямиком к трагедии. Впрочем, именно этот персонаж занимал главное место в сценарии на ранней стадии ― до того, как Джеймса Дина утвердили на роль Джима Старка.

   N.В. Рассказ, легший в основу сценария, был написан Николасом Реем и озаглавлен «Гонка вслепую» (The Blind Run). Его переработал Леон Юрис, автор «Исхода», затем ― Ирвинг Шулмен (который, в частности, добавил гонку у обрыва) и, наконец, Стюарт Стерн написал окончательную версию сценария.

   БИБЛИОГРАФИЯ: сценарий и диалоги опубликованы в сборнике «Лучшие американские сценарии» (Best American Screenplays, под ред. Сэма Томаса, Crown Publishers, New York, 1986). В сценарий включен пролог, который так и не был снят (из соображений цензуры): банда Базза нападает на прохожего с сумками в руках (действие происходит в канун Рождества, что тоже изменится в окончательной версии фильма) и роняет на землю маленькую механическую обезьянку, с которой потом играет герой Джеймса Дина в знаменитых планах на начальных титрах. Николас Рей написал 2 статьи о своем фильме: «Портрет актера в молодом человеке: Джеймс Дин» («Portrait de l'acteur en jeune homme: James Dean», в журнале «Cahiers du cinéma», № 66, 1956; статья сначала появилась на английском языке в газете «Daily Variety» от 31 октября 1956 г. как отрывок из будущей книги «Бунтарь ― Подлинная история фильма» [Rebel – The Life Story of a Film] о съемках фильма, которая так и не была издана) и «От сюжета к сценарию» («Story into Script» в журнале «Sight and Sound», Лондон, весна 1956 г., о процессе зарождения сценария). Этот текст был включен в антологию Ричарда Кожарски «Голливудские режиссеры, 1941―1976» (Richard Koszarski, Hollywood Directors 1941―1976, New York, 1977). Новеллизация фильма под фр. прокатным названием («Исступление жизни», La fureur de vivre) выпущено издательством «Éditions Gérard», 1956. В качестве автора книги указан Николас Рей, однако крайне маловероятно, что он действительно ее написал; сомнительно даже, что текст, выдаваемый за переводной (стараниями Энни Месриц), вообще существовал на англ. языке. Ирвинг Шулмен издал роман, написанный по мотивам сценария, в тот момент, когда перестал работать над фильмом; этот роман носит название «Дети тьмы» (Irving Shulman, Children of the Dark, Holt, Rinehart and Winston, New York, 1956). Наконец, в 1958 г. Джеймс Фуллер написал по мотивам фильма 3-актную пьесу James Fuller, Rebel Without a Cause, Dramatic Publishing Co., Chicago, 1958).

¿To see, to watch o to look?
Los tres verbos reflejan tres conceptos muy distintos. To see hace referencia a la capacidad visual y no es fruto de una acción deliberada. A menudo se usa con can o could: I can see the mountains from my bedroom. Puedo ver las montañas desde mi dormitorio.
To look at implica una acción deliberada: I saw an old atlas, so I opened it and looked at the maps. Vi un atlas antiguo, así que lo abrí y miré los mapas.
To watch también se refiere a una acción deliberada, a menudo cuando se tiene un interés especial por lo que ocurre: I watched the planes in the sky with great interest. Miraba los aviones en el cielo con gran interés. Igualmente puede indicar el paso del tiempo (we watched the animals playing for half an hour, durante media hora observamos cómo jugaban los animales), movimiento (they stood there watching the cars drive off into the distance, se quedaron allí de pie viendo cómo se marchaban los coches) o vigilancia (the policemen have been watching this house because they thought we were thieves, los policías estaban vigilando la casa porque pensaban que éramos ladrones).
Para hablar de películas u obras de teatro usamos to see: Have you seen Hamlet?, ¿Has visto Hamlet? To watch se refiere a la televisión y los deportes en general: I always watch the television in the evening. Siempre veo la televisión por las noches. I like to watch football. Me gusta ver el fútbol. Al hablar de programas o partidos específicos podemos usar tanto to watch como to see: I like to see/watch the news at 9:00. Me gusta ver las noticias a las 9.00. Did you see/watch the match last night?, ¿Viste el partido anoche?
