15 Revolting Movie Youths

Sorting out the rebels from the rabble

Antoine Doinel

Actor/film: Jean-Pierre Léaud, The 400 Blows (1959)

Anti-social behaviour: Quantity rather than quality.  Antoine indulges in minor mischief (theft, graffiti) but gets caught so often he’s interned in a work camp for delinquents.

Rebel Cause:   If you guessed 'bad parenting,' you'd be right.  Yet again.  Antoine's adulterous mother is so cold she actually told her son she wanted to abort him.

Rebellious or Revolting?  Antoine grows up to be a bit of a dick in the sequels (we say franchise, they say français) but here we just want to reach out and give him a  hug.

      Anakin Skywalker, Haydn Christiansen, is revolting (Oh burn). Anakin should have been an arrogant git who wanted to be the most powerfull user of the Force in the galaxy, not the little sissy girl cry baby he is. I wouldnt say he was revolting against the system, just the Galaxys back story of him.
