When I was 13 James Dean changed my life. He was there at the start of youth culture, Rock&Roll, the 1960s counter-culture, and everything that sprang from that. I wish teenagers today weren't into people with no talent like the Spice Girls, thinking of money, 'bling', or being a pimp like Snoopy Doggy Dog, and instead read some books, watch some decent films & listen to music with some meaning... the world would be a better place, with a future to look forward to.
@kidcalabria I do have to say that you can't judge every "teenager today" like this. I'm not into all the crap they call "good music" today. I'm only 17, and I get told by several people that I should've been born during this time. Elvis Presley is my hero, obviously by my youtube name. Johnny Cash is also my hero. The Beatles rock. James Dean is just plain amazing. Marlon Brando? Well. That says it all right there. I don't to be disrespectful or anything, I just don't want to be stereotyped.
I'm not stereotyping you because I don't even know you. The comment was only a consideration about today's "youth culture" and today's Pop music in general, not about you, and it's certainly not a 'judgement'. If you're into good stuff & can be bothered to find out about stuff beyond what's fashionable now, good for you. When I was a teenager in the '80s my friends were into Madonna, I was listening to Blues records from the 1930s. Sometimes it's just the way it is. Take care
I wish he would born and be an actor again.... I LOVE HIM SOOO MUCH!
i believe he was a mature man he had to be because he grow up without a mom and a dad because he send him to his uncles, he did have some suport but practically have to grow alone and became something alone. sadly he died.
2:43 he looks different than usually. I wonder who has taken the photo... Maybe someone he loved or admired...
The look is so.. I don't know, he looks very shy and so... Real. Little surprised and frightened, like a little boy that's get caught of something :) But still he smiles that little beautiful smile and looks behind the camera. Maybe there's something he likes :)
@Deerwoman1976 . I've noticed this too, also in other photos. In one of the biographies, his aunt (the one that raised him) has said that out of all the characters he's played, the closest match to the real James was Cal Trask in East of Eden...
the only actor that fits to portray as james dean is james franco...he has the looks of jimmy...and he is a great actor too...but how i wish that jimmy is still alive... so that we can see how great he was...but still,im one of his biggest fan!
people who dont understand the greatness of james dean never will, so dont waste your time with them. i love james dean, and i feel he was born in the wrong time. if only he were alive today.. i would be all over him!

What's so great about James Dean? He made 3 movies, mostly playing sullen teens who's scripts were mumbles, shouting, or shrugs. No high flights of memorable lines or literary value. A nice face, but so what -that's a dime a dozen in H'wood. He's totally overrated and was systematically marketed as a rebel icon, bought hook-line-and-sinker by the gullible, who imagine their own forms of rebellion are thereby validated. But they are merely sheep following another fad.
i actually agree with you, even though i'm a fan. most of dean was systematic. not only by directors and other professionals, but by himself. he knew what would work, and i'm sure most of what he presented to the world wasn't him, just like any other actor/actress. he was tragic on purpose.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What's so great about him, other than that he was an old actor who appealed to rebellious teens? So what? As if we need rebellious role models in life!
He died at age 24, yet he looked AT LEAST ten years older than his real age. He wasn't hot; James Franco is way better looking.
I could tell Dean was acting sometimes in Rebel Without A Cause, proving he wasn't the best actor. The film was cheesy and pointless.
24 isn't old, but I think what gets people the most is the fact that his life was cut so short just after he was gaining momentum from East of Eden. So there's always this factor of unfulfilled potential that people will wonder about. And it's not like he wasn't popular b4 his death; he had great talent, sex appeal & vulnerability as an actor to which I'd take any day over Franco. And his sexuality is relevant because..? 50+yrs since his death & ppl are still talkin about him- that's charisma.
James Dean there is no superstar male sex symbol that can compare to him none that I can think of his face there was not a ugly spot on it James Dean the classic beautiful male. none that good looking anymore none...he was special.
yeah, i was thinking that through the entire thing. seriously, thats weird. he never looks bad or goffy in any pic, ever. is there any actual "live footage of james dean being james dean. or is he like a myth or something?
cool! thank you! =) this is just one of my most favorite videos here in youtube. now i can't listen to chocolate of snow patrol without this video coming in to mind. i wanna say it again...great job!
