WHo cares what others say about it, this movie is GREAT! The fact that James Dean really connects with the crowd makes you love it even more. This movie is a MUST. This was the movie that helped further James Dean's (short) career.
the dvd was in better condition than i expected and the case was original and in good condition though it did have one small tear in it, i bought this dvd to add to my collection of classic films and i was very happy i did it
I had been wanting this movie for a long time and now that I have it, I have watched twice. The product was in good condition and I bought because that is what I wanted. I hope that if you are an old movie buff like me, you will consider buying some of these old movies. They're great!
I have to be truthful about this DVD. I remembered this movie when I was a teenager. When I reviewed the movie it wasn't as great as I remembered. It's still a movie classic to add to my collection. The movie has some great stars in it that all met with untimely deaths at a young age.
What can I say about the greatest movie of all time! Had to relive the memories of the past & this really did it. I bought this dvd so I can watch it whenever I like & to let my friends borrow it.
I love this movie as it was so indicative of the time frame in which I grew up in. The turmoil a wayward and lost teenager goes through as he tties to sort out his/her feelings about things and what kind of things can befall them as they search. Acting out can lead to more trouble then one ever hopes to bring on themselves and sometimes no matter what is done to be good, trouble always follows one anyway. A great movie portraying the pitfalls of trying to grow up through a teenagers eyes. James Dean, himself probably in the same place as the person he portrayed in this movie, did a smashing job getting the message across and it was too bad that he left us so soon as he was an actor who could make one feel just what you were meant to feel while watching him. This was one heck of a movie I thought!!
The cast of this movie ended in such tragedy. There's James Dean, Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo--all of whom ended their rising star lives too soon. In this James Dean is new to town. His father is Jim Baccus (Thurston Howell III from Gilligan's Island.) He doesn't understand his son. Natalie Wood is misunderstood by her family too. So is Sal Mineo who befriends James Dean's character. There are a few famous scenes from this movie including the fight at the Observatory and the car race which ends in tragedy. The first scene is so gripping--as the credits begin, a drunk James Dean is so caring--he takes off his coat and covers a toy because of the chill. It is remarkable!
