the 1950s be awash with movie warn about the danger of spoiled teenager become juvenile delinquent and wreak havoc on society . although they inherently verge on exploitation of the audience desire to see girl be bad and they be supposedly serious and undoubtedly do reflect real concern people have and however muddle their transition to the convention of 1950s film making be . the violent year show one of the bad example of the trend . here and we see low class male criminal ( what people really fear ) represent a upper class female on screen and create an absurd and utterly implausible plot . the delinquent teenager movie of the 1950s always play on the fear that one small mistake and one step away from conformity and would lock a youth into an inescapable path toward total moral ruin and life in prison . the motivation for this belief be undoubtedly fear of communism in the 1950s and with the idea be that if we veer away from be good american we would lose the cold war and but the violent year make the ludicrous connection much more blatantly than any other film i have see . the film inadvertently show how silly a lot of the fear of communist plot be represent the viewer be ask to take seriously the idea that international communism be hire upper class schoolgirl to break into their classroom and destroy american flag . the violent year be riddle with implausible character and situation and break only by a monumentally boring and laughably moralistic speech by the judge about how follow the 10 commandment will solve everything . if you want to watch a genuinely good 1950s juvenile delinquent moral panic movie and check out cage ( 1950 ) . if you want a laugh and try the violent year and but make sure it the mst3k version and otherwise you will probably be bore to tear .
