dean part 1

so i've never seen james dean before i watched this. didn't really know what all the fuss was about. i mean sure he was decent looking, but to me nothing profound. i always thought he looked a bit old for his age. so i was skeptical of watching him act.

surprise, its a good movie. and his acting, which i've heard mixed things about, was really good. minus a few moments but for the time it seems to me he was exceptionally good.

the plot takes a long time to develop but never becomes boring nor drags on. its entertaining through and through. at points i had expectations and it almost never happened how i imagine. surprising but never purposefully shocking; just plain good writing.

a great old movie that should be seen.

10/10
