In 1987 I got to ride in Jimmy's '49 Merc. The car was housed at the Harrah's Car Museum in Sparks, Nevada. We had travelled many miles to Reno/Sparks (from Montana) to see just that car. I was thrilled when the car's own mechanic released the velvet ropes and said, "C'mon, the boss said I'm supposed to take you for a spin." You could not have wiped the grin off my daughter's and my faces as we tooled around the parking lot, sitting just where Natalie sat...One happy memory, for sure. LS
i'm 18 and only JUST took an insight into his whole life, my obsession has only just commenced.
but i kind of wish i hadn't learned about him
sadness and something sinister just washes over me everytime i think about him.
his tragic death is very mysterious...just reading up on the car, i'm positive it was cursed.
what i would do to go back in time and just have one conversation with this man....he had such depth and was utterly fascinating. feel like i have some things in common with him
Agreed that this video kinda misses what's great about the movie: the relationship is a platonic three-way, a "new family" of sorts, and Jim's sole attention to Wood instead of Mineo (who's character is subtly but obviously gay, Dean's own bisexuality notwithstanding) is part of what causes problems at the end. This video celebrates a heterosexual love that's not really in the movie: Jim's problem is that he doesn't want either kind of love to tie him down.
And let's not forget actor Nick Adams' untimely death in the late 60's. He was found dead at his home. Evidence pointed to a drug overdose (he was taking tranquilizers due to a recent bitter divorce & child custody battle and a career slump) though some think it may have been a suicide. His best friend,fellow actor Robert Conrad, has gone on record as discounting the suicide theory.
Way to miss to message behind the movie. If you ever thought love was the central message see what part the love interest plays in the chicken run. She is a lie, a deceptive manipulitive infatuation. His mother made manifest as a youth. But he (the rebel) has a cause, unlike his father.
#59 in the AFI's list of greatest American movies of all time. I think it should be near the top ten. I'm watching all the movies in the list in this site:
awful music...

When Dean was rubbing the milk bottle against his face, he looked a lot like Heath Ledger there.

Brad pitt would have made a good Dean but he's too old for the part now. Bet he wishes he was as cool though.
Mangapulse 2 years ago 14
Brad is more like Robert Redford.
PeterFirthFan 2 years ago 3
yeah, Rob Pattinson is the only person the right age to be Dean but I dont think Rob wants that kind of attention
I think he just wants to act and be left alone
