He is not James Dean (love him so), he is James fucking Franco the guy that takes a role in daytime tv and doesnt give a f __ about what anyone thinks! how many A-list actors do this? Franco is charisma!
Chya I saw this years ago before I acknowledges Franco and i'm super impressed cause I always thought he played him so well and looked very close. Good role for him.
haha i am a huge fan of james dean, he was a great actor, i have a rare frawing of him and same with a rare tie with him on it, haha i also share a birthday with the guy....
Probably not historically accurate in every aspect, but Franco personally embodies many similar characteristics both intellectually, emotionally & physically to Dean. The American acting trinity of Clift, Brando, Dean - spawned many disciples, but Franco 2 or 3 generations later may be their true heir.

@Evegalewitz well said unfortunaly hollywood ruined them all if you look at it. clift was witch hunted by walt disney's Mcarthurisam, Brando, Dean is he or isnt he.because of there troubles hollywood became a nicer place now for actors like franco, Jake, affleck.etc.
I have loved James Dean forever, since I was a little girl. I've seen every movie and documentary there was about him. He was never gay, never. He was a great actor and will be missed.
Adored this movie from start to finish...James Franco was brilliant in this, and is a fabulous actor, and hot ;) but (repition much) no-one can compare to James Dean
This movie was on tv last night and was very good and probably fairly true to life. In my youth Jimmy was not only a great actor but the only actor who brought truth to the screen.
@zthetha The movie had one major flaw , James Dean WAS Winston Dean s son, NO QUSTION. They were not close but not because there was a qustion who Jimmy s dad was or was not. That part is a COMPLETE LIE. . Read any bio on James Dean, any year, even the newer trash crap books, NOT ONE HINT Winston Dean was not James Dean s father/. I have read nearly ALL James Dean bio books and no hint AT ALL. . I think they did get a little nicer to each other the last 3 year not sure they got close
Just saw it and it was way better than I expected, even if it seems kinda rushed in the last 20 mins or so. James Franco really captured his essence for me and did a great job and Mark Rylance obviously spent a lot of time doing his research on the little details. The scene that Rylance made up between Dean and his dad towards the end actually made me cry. Wonderful tribute to a fascinating pop culture Icon.
James Dean was such a great actor, the only person I've seen who even comes close to the likes of Brando and Dean is Gael Garcia Bernal. So versatile. Brilliant.
what happened to tnt they used to show awesome original movies like this one,I loved this movie and I loved James Franco as James Dean I mean he WAS James Dean in this movie...TNT sucks these days
@karaven23 I don't think he was trying to replace James Dean, James Franco is portraying James Dean, the movie is is about James Dean, just like Denzel Washing portrayed Macolm X and just like Jim Carrey portrayed Andy Kaufman.
@honeegrrl I didn't say he was. James Franco is his own amazing person. :) But I'm merely stating that James Dean, well... he's a kind of his own. :> He's James Dean, dude!
He was a great actor, and I liked the side of him that was searching, smart, studying acting, music, poetry... What I hate are all the james dean wannabes he spawned... the guys in the 50s who are in their late 60s now... those who bought the red jackets... If he'd lived he would've evolved... he would've outgtrown a pier angeli. Probably would've moved to Italy or France part for his life. I liked James Dean... just not his false immitators. He would've told them to get their own lives.
@RoseyinWonderland I think he would be amazed people stil love him, outside his family members that is. If he had lived...the mind can go anywhere on that since he was only 24 there is no way to know. I do believe more great things were in store for him. As to Pier Angeli, maybe she would still divorced Vic and she and Jimmy would have married but who knows, it is all a guseing game
ok thank god im not the only one!! i kept telling my buddies like " whoa james franko looks alot like james dean" and they were all like " who's james dean".
James Franco looks a lot like James Dean and he did a terrific job in this role, but he should have worn blue contacts. James Dean had blue not brown eyes.
In my opinion , James Dean seem to be very unhappy and he portrayed it in his acting , a torture soul , but he was so handsome and cool.James Franco looks just like him , my friend looks like James Dean too , what a talent ..R.I.P James Dean you are an icon...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
He has no resemblence to Jimmy, in looks nor in personality. This guy has problems, but the real James had actual personality, life. The way they interpret him... Uggh.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Um... I don't see the resemblence?!
You can dress up Franco all you want but he could never be James Dean, looks or talent wise. Good attempt...but he doesn't have that charisma that JD has!
@r0nna No, the gay thing is debateable. His girlfriends didnt think he was gay. Pier Angeli sure as hell didnt think he was. She always professed he was THE LOVE of her life up until she died. She had a lockette she wore untill she died, two pictures, her father and James Dean, hardly a pubility stunt after all she lived 16 years more years after he passed away
I, like all of you admire James Dean - I also agree that James Franco is a good actor and looks almost identical to Dean. However, I just didn't buy the acting..it seemed unrealistic.
A good example of more realistic would be Kilmer playing Morrison in the Doors. Despite some obnoxious things in the movie, THAT was pretty damn spot on.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Franco looks spot on, and im sorry.. James Dean was cool and all.. but the man made 3 movies.. only 1 was really all that good. He was a sex symbol people, not a legendary actor, because he died tragically early in his career, we will never know how good he truely was.
Its true that James Dean only made three films however two of these he received Academy Awards for showing the talent he possessed, also he made several appearances on Television in very diverse tv-shows at the time.
@pantelin2 Yes he did. He was so amzeing from the get go. . I am not saying there are not a few good actors today, but so very few and even they do not come CLOSE.
@Davegilcross Are you kidding. He was just AMZEING and actors today WISH they had half his talent. Check out his T.V. appearances, they are on DVD and they are sold thru Amazon
Umm..well he just was. He did everything, from acting to racing and aced at them all, most people know who he is, that means he is somewhat of a legend.
Oh right, sorry, i thought you were just being rude, very sorry :) Have you seen his films? Admittidly there is only trhee, Rebel without a Cause, East of Eden & Giant, but they are well worth watching, you can buy biogrpahies and stuff aswell, of you could just google search him :)
@TheLucy1992 All three of his movies are on DVD. They are sold thru Amazon. He did several T.V. appearances that were very popular in thier day. Many of his T.V. work has been put on DVD also sold thru Amazon. He did race cars and was very good at it. I know for sure he won 2 ed place in one race.
@festustigers11 Wow really? Yeah I can definitely see them clashing considering how huge they both were around the same time. Well, it certainly worked - they were both brilliant =]
@grandtheftautumn91 Yeah I think it was more of Brando thought Jimmy was trying to take his place but Jimmy just respected the way Brando did things. Eventually they ended up good friends.
@festustigers11 Not true. while James Dean admired Brando and they did met once Brando didnt like Jimmy. Refused to talk to him, return calls etc. Maybe Brando was jelious that Jimmy was the better man and actor
@grandtheftautumn91 Well actually he was in other movies he just wasn't a big part, such as Fixed Bayonets, in which he played Doggie. Sailor Beware as the boxing opponents second. Has Anybody Seen My Gal?, where he played the youth at the soda fountain, and Trouble Along The Way as an extra.
@TomCollinsgirl Tell your mom HI. I was 7 weeks old when James Dean died. But I am such a huge fan, I discovered him when I was 12 years old nd havenot been the same since
i like franco. if they did this movie now and it was nt just on tv maybe it would be pretty good. but this doesnt look all that great. i would much perfer just watching a james dean movie
Cheesy? Sure, most TV movies are. Blame the writer. But still, easily the best Dean biopic so far, and Franco was brilliant. :)

Oh right, sorry, i thought you were just being rude, very sorry :) Have you seen his films? Admittidly there is only trhee, Rebel without a Cause, East of Eden & Giant, but they are well worth watching, you can buy biogrpahies and stuff aswell, of you could just google search him :)

@TheLucy1992 All three of his movies are on DVD. They are sold thru Amazon. He did several T.V. appearances that were very popular in thier day. Many of his T.V. work has been put on DVD also sold thru Amazon. He did race cars and was very good at it. I know for sure he won 2 ed place in one race.

im pretty sure if franco continues to keep up his underrated career
one day people will remember him and who knows?
Maybe he might get his own biopic!

james franco is amazing but no one will ever reach the level of an icon, as James Dean.

I personally think Marlon Brando's the greatest actor of all time, but James Dean was an absolute legend too - with only 3 movies.

@grandtheftautumn91 James Dean actually tried to mimic Marlon Brando's method of acting. They actually didn't get along at first because of it.

@festustigers11 Wow really? Yeah I can definitely see them clashing considering how huge they both were around the same time. Well, it certainly worked - they were both brilliant =]
grandtheftautumn91 1 year ago
@grandtheftautumn91 Yeah I think it was more of Brando thought Jimmy was trying to take his place but Jimmy just respected the way Brando did things. Eventually they ended up good friends.
festustigers11 1 year ago
@festustigers11 Not true. while James Dean admired Brando and they did met once Brando didnt like Jimmy. Refused to talk to him, return calls etc. Maybe Brando was jelious that Jimmy was the better man and actor

@grandtheftautumn91 Well actually he was in other movies he just wasn't a big part, such as Fixed Bayonets, in which he played Doggie. Sailor Beware as the boxing opponents second. Has Anybody Seen My Gal?, where he played the youth at the soda fountain, and Trouble Along The Way as an extra.

Dean was the pinnacle, the rest just try to be him. I think Franco really got the closest any of these new stars have.
and as a little factoid. my mother was born the same day exactly James died
