"is he a friend of yours?" " *gay panic* "

"Not ready to come out yet?" *gay panicking noises*

If a movie has 18+ minutes of gay stuff it’s just a gay movie 🎥 👬

James dean has BIG bisexual energy

Apparently in the mansion scene, Dean told Mineo to "look at me the way I look at Natalie (Judy)" and now im suffering from severe heart palpitations.

Ah.. repressed homosexuality... Hollywood's glittery underbelly.

“What’s he like?” *zooms in* “I dunno.”

I always thought Natalie Wood’s character was just an excuse to make the movie less gay than it should

No ones gonna talk about how he sniffed his jacket right in front of him?

This film is the defenition of repressed. We love a gay cinematic masterpiece.

Plato is clearly gay and the way he admires James Dean's character reminds me of how I used to feel when I had my first girl love

Plato was definitely gay.

This is the most useful edit of Rebel Without a Cause that I've seen

"It's alright now. It's over, the world ended." That quote really resonated with me and I don't know why.

man, I did not know vintage gay is an aesthetic I would get attached to when I started off the new year but here we are

Director: Bisexual Lead: Bisexual Supporting: Bisexual Also the director made Johnny Guitar. The second gayest mainstream film of the 50's behind this

"Not ready to come out yet?" "No" aww plato is so cute

People 40 years ago : James dean is such a lady’s man People today: no fucking way he’s straight

that scene in front of the garage,, straight up thought they were about to kiss

Sal Mineo, who plays Plato, said that Plato was the first ever portrayal of a gay teenager in film. So in other words, they WERE more than just roommates if you catch my drift...

It was the "Brokeback mountain" of its time.

we stan two (2) bisexual kings

I have an old friend who is gay. Great personality. Traditionally handsome. Our families spent summers together when we were growing up. I felt bad that I never asked if he was in a relationship, so in our twenties I did finally and he kind of half smiled and said being gay isn't like that, it's a lot of hookups and really lonely. It was heartbreaking. This compilation reminded me of that.

4:11 I had to re watch this part cuz at first I heard him say "eight O'clock?...... Gay"

13:15 N O T R E A D Y T O C O M E O U T Y E T

"if only you couldve been my dad" ohh you could call him your daddy

For its time it was one of the most tragic movies...in real life at the time young Sal Mineo fell in love with James Dean,who he was quite fond of.

Ugh, the color makes it 100 percent better, it shows out the actresses and actors true beauty.

James Dean keeps trying to give his guy his jacket " Here.. It's warm... Like me" 😌😌😌😌😌

“You’re not ready to come out yet?” - meeeeee

I know James Dean is known for his looks, but I seriously never in my life seen a twenty something year old with that aged of a face. He looks like a forty year old man. He must've started smoking cigarettes at age three.

I’m cryin in the club rn

“Stop forcing your sexuality onto James Dean” James Dean: *literally said he didn’t put himself into a sexual box and openly stated to basically be sexually fluid*

My boy James Dean was a repressed bi and he exudes so much energy here BOI

"He’s always cold" that was heartbreaking.. 💔💔

Who wouldn't I kill to have James Dean give me his jacket? 😂

Bless you for this cut of the film. You're out here doing the gay Lord's work.

Their ship name is jimto

i have no idea what this movie is or what it’s about but as a lesbian I can confirm the homosexual activity

Yep. Great performance by Sal Mineo who played it too well. He was seemed hot for Dean.

Do you know that the director for this movie actually prescribes James Dean and Sal (plato) to spend time together, because the director knew that Sal is gay, and James is Bi. The director wanted to have a good chemistry between the actors, James and Sal eventually fell for each other and was in a relationship. This was confirmed by the director himself. upon knowing that the two actors fell for one another, He actually wanted to put a scene where James and Plato Kiss each other, but the headstudio rejected the idea as it is too controversial. James Dean was such a fascinating person, I have never heard of him before yesterday, ive read two biographies of him today haha

I feel like the milk scene could also be interpreted as Jim being stuck between adulthood and childhood. Like in the beginning, he’s trying to be grown up by getting drunk but he eventually embraces being young by drinking milk straight from the bottle.

Without even seeing the whole movie, one can feel the strong chemistry between the two. What a tragic end to something so beautiful between two people. But it reminds me of the old saying on namely on James Dean's part, " you don't miss a good thing (you never realize how much you loved [it/someone]) until they're gone.

“The gay sh!t” (as you put it) comprise my _most favorite_ parts of the film. To quote Oliver Twist, “Please, sir, I want some more...”. 😜

I didn’t know how badly I needed this in my life

“He’s always cold” almost made me CRY THANKS

Jimmy goes to walk into the girls bathroom but stops himself just before,then immediately heads to the boys bathroom where he sees Plato,subtext,that’s all I’m saying

Sal Mineo was so cute.

James Dean and Sal Mineo had so much chemistry, arguably more so than James and Natalie in the movie. The fact that they were both gay/bi doesn't seem an accident as far as casting choices go.

I love a bisexual in a polyamorous relationship. An icon

The puppy love is too adorable.

i typed in "chaotic bisexual energy" and this came up lmfao

How long have you known Plato? James Dean: Since last night. But we didnt do much talking 😎

I know there was a kiss between Sal and James in the script but I'm still scratching my head wondering where would it be located. Maybe somewhere in the mansion segment?

The zoom in at the photo on Plato's locker 💀💀💀

James Dean saying to Sal Mineo: “You’re not ready to come out yet?” Made me laugh

Was he really always cold or was that his excuse to steal the jacket

1:38 So he keeps a photo of Cary Grant in his locker? That's gaf right there.

I’ve been waiting for this my whole damn life lmao-I didn’t know what it was about Plato when I watched the movie as a kid, but grew older I saw myself in him, it’s so wonderful to know the queerness was intentional and that Sal & James gave this rep to gayby me like wow they DID that. Thanks for this comp - was laughing at first but damn if the ending didn’t make me cry like it always does

I remember watching this when I was 12 and haven’t noticed that.. I’m full grown gay now and recently rewatched it and I was so surprised.. that’s why I liked the movie

‘Is he a friend of yours ?’ He looked at her and said ‘bitch back off’ 😂❤️

“i couldn’t even s w a l l o w till recess 😃”

Remember the chicken race and the knife blade fight? James died in a drag race. Sal died getting stabbed. Edit: I made a slight mistake in James death, thanks for Gene below for pointing it out. James didn't die in a drag race, but rather, he died _driving_ to one. He always found car racing to be fun, and made it his hobby/another optional source of income. It was certainly tragic, with him being only 24, but he always said that he would like to die that way, while being young. Sal, on the other hand, turned to stage performance, and a few days after getting it on, he was mugged near his appartment and let to die. He never quite got over James' death (he never made it a secret that he had feelings for him), so, sure, their deaths where horrible, and the three main leads died in unnatural ways, but hey, if there is a place to go after fading, the three friends can still be a family wherever they are.

anyone: why is Rebel your favorite movie? me: *links to this video*

7:21 mood

A man taking another man's warm jacket in the old days was definitely a "yes let's be gay together" thing straights didn't know about.

"We could sneek around abd nobody would know" Holy FUCK

this story's concept is so sweet... they rlly dont dive like this anymore

This is my boyfriend Jim and his boyfriend Plato

2:10 I love how he checks to make sure he’s going into the boys room lmao

This is done so well. I think I have to see the film again. Thank you, I know how much time & energy it can take to get this done this concisely.

They looks so cute together, you'd think Natalie was a third wheel.

Thank you for your service

2:05 is my favorit part. Just amazing. (Also, "Fishing" *zooms on his face* Wonderful.)

I love James Dean so much ohmygod this is literally a masterpiece

Im 29. I saw this movie on turner classic movies one night when i was bored with nothing to watch in my late teens. The energy between James and Sal was immediately noticeable but I think my mind was playing tricks on me. Turns out I was right, and I’m glad I was. The chick (dont even know her name) wasnt even needed in this movie lol. Coulda just left her out. Anyways, Sal’s pretty dreamy

They should go fishing at brokeback mountain. I just hope they don't eat all the fish they catch and bring some back home 😉

James Dean is a registered bisexual according to WikiPedia😂

With a title like this; how could I afford not to click?

The dynamic trio in this is everything I want. ❤️

I have to give this so much credit for treating his death with such emotion.

a kiss here wouldve felt right in place 6:50

That is one of the funniest titles ever "Rebel without a cause BUT ITS JUST THE GAY SHIT" 😂 i can't

Sal Mineo said he was bisexual in his biography and James Dean was known to be sexually ambiguous

He was bisexual in real life but surpressed it because of the hateful times. Elizabeth Taylor already said on stage and interviews that he would confined in her in late night telephone calls and one on one late night talks, about his sexuality and she was like his mother or bestfriend and someone to talk to...she is a huge LGBTQ icon. Meny actors have come out to her but she never said a word until they died and she still respected them and honored them.

LOL @ the way you worded the title of this video. It totally cracked me up. I've been putting off watching this movie for years but I think it's about time I give it a chance.

ahahah I'm commenting before watching this because I love this so much and thank you so much for making this its all I've ever wanted!

There may be a clue in the name of ‘Plato’ - after all it was the Ancient Greek Philosopher Plato who introduced to the world the notion of ‘platonic love’....

I GOT THE BULLETSSSSSS

Sal Mineo was so adorable here!

"Gimme that gun in your pocket."

I could probably see them all having a 3some with dean in the middle

Dude I would go bi for him, just look at him

James Dean was sex on a stick,my god

I thought James Dean was more of a father figure for Plato. It seemed Plato was looking for a father figure since his father was absent.

i was in a community theater production of the play when i was 17 and now i wear a leather jacket, have a fraught relationship with my parents, and kiss men. really makes you think!!!! thanks for the supercut so i can send it to my gay high school friends who were also in that play

Plato has some daddy issues going on here.. lol

I love that goofy laugh james does when he grabs platos nose lol

The fact that this is 18 minutes long is just *chef's kiss*

Literally never seen this film before but that ending made me cry
