At the closing of James Franco’s Rebel in Los Angeles, 23 June 2012
James Franco’s ‘Rebel Without a Cause’ Art Project Involves Gender-Bending Orgy with Sex Dolls and Dildos
I get back to Bungalow 2 a few hours later to interview Franco. He is unnervingly chipper. He laughs about the sex scene he orchestrated. “Having sex with dolls with plastic dicks is fucking great,” Franco exalts, “because you get to examine that act without the onus of people just looking at it and saying, ‘That’s pornography.’ You can actually think about it for a second and ask yourself what is happening there when you’re doing that for real.” The whole venture is pretty weird. No matter what anyone says, Franco is producing ideas, turning them into art. James Franco is an artist. (via James Franco | Flaunt Magazine)
Young-Masculinity Portrayed in 1950s Film: 'King Creole' and 'Rebel Without a Cause' →
Film played a part in how the public perceived roles of masculinity in the 1950s. Elvis Presley in King Creole, and Rebel Without a Cause with James Dean, gave voice to teenage males that couldn’t understand their father’s gray-flannel-suit world.
