× ABSTRACT 2008. This research is conducted to find out the reflection of the American value called the Youth Rebellion value by taking one of the American legendary actors named James Dean as the personification of the American youth rebel that can embody the youth’s beliefs and values. The belief that youth is a transitional phase from childhood dependence that usually involves the rebellious stage has existed in the American mindset and has developed from time to time. James Dean becomes the perfect reflection that can describe the youth rebel values because he lived in a period where youth came as a category in American society. He lived in 1950s where the youth’s “in-between” position was admitted and has close relation with deviance. The objective of this research is to find the reflection of the Youth Rebellion value found in James Dean. The main source of data used in this research was James Dean’s biography written by Wolfgang Fusch (1989) where many facts about this actor are found. The main data were taken from one of his movies entitled Rebel Without A Cause produced by David Wisbart, directed by Nicholas Ray, distributed by Warner Bross and released in 1955 and some of his image in American postcard issued by the Ludlow Collection published by Classico San Francisco Inc. under licensed by the James Dean Foundation in 1990. The supporting data were taken from a clip performing an interview, criticism and article about James Dean and Rebel Without A Cause found in internet. 1.
