    In 1955, movie "Rebel Without a Cause" was enormously influential during its time. It was a milestone in the engenderment of incipient conception about young people, and James Dean himself had decisively altered the way adolescent men could be optically discerned in popular culture. They could be more feminine, sultrier, more confounded, or more equivocal. The movie was predicated on the 1944 book by Robert Lindner and reflected the concern about "juvenile delinquency.” In the movie, Jim masked a feeling that life is a purportless choice between being and not being. Visually perceived today, the movie plays in which characters with outlandish quandaries perform a charade of mundane deportment.…

The most well established part of mass media that tells the victim/survivor’s story in a more empowering way is movies.…
