Rebel. Literature in Film #1

When watching the film Rebel, even though it was a student film I was fascinated in the story line. The actors did an amazing job with filming it at the school and also how realistic they made it to be. I really enjoyed the part where Steinberg and Dan were talking about killing kittens in his paper. We later got told that that part was improvised which I thought was awesome! It was so realistic, that it was scripted. The sound was great, you could feel the tension between some characters. Also, you could see the love interest between the characters that you could tell aren't supposed to be together. Kind of like Romeo and Juliet. The film shows us about teenage rebellion, which is why its called Rebel, (duh). Not only do we see the obvious, main character rebel against his parents, but the other characters throughout the short film. The love interest with the two seemed that the girl was trying to get away from her boyfriend and date him. But why couldn't she just leave? He wasn't abusing her, and yeah we're in the 21st century where woman do have their own rights so why did she have to sneak around if she knows her boyfriend doesn't treat her the way she wants to be treated. Overall, this was a great film to watch. I enjoyed it the most because people our age can relate to it, not just by the characters but the background of it too.
