OMG what a face. What a face. Perfection, of course. But the expression too. The intensity in the gaze. Those bags under the eyes. The impossible cheekbones. And something else that's there, absolutely nameless. A touching aloofness. Boy/man. Real, unreal. He looked like nobody else. Unclassifiable.
Yes.. that "absolutely nameless " thing you refer to.. I have been trying to figure out a name for it, myself. Haven't found it yet. I just know that nobody has even come close to having it. Belongs only to James Dean. Guess that's why he's still an inspiration to generation after generation. t
@@sharonzimmerman5558 the word I would use to describe him is ethereal. That fragility looks like he could almost break. I find him emotionally draining to watch - I experience what he experiences through his acting. He's an American original - one for the ages.
You forgot to mention something that I noticed no one else ever mentions: his absolutely perfect nose. That’s what gives him perfection. His profile, his “look”. If his nose was crooked or had a bump , it’d make a big difference.
Oh, his figure at 3:54. He certainly filled out nicely from the days when he first got into acting and wasn't able to eat much. He was such a lovely looking creature. He dressed so flatteringly.
Beautiful face absolutely destroyed by the perpetual cigarette dangling from his mouth! I read that he was horribly near-sighted and couldn't see an inch in front of him. James struggled to survive at the level he chose to live and died in the pantheon of great men!
According to Rolf Wütherich, James Dean was a very well-behaved driver on the road. The speeding ticket was misreported and exaggerated, because Dean was fined for going just 5 mph over the speed limit. Dean had the right of way, so he was innocent. It was that other guy faul I really dont know what he was thinking about ,where he was looking that he didnt see James car,as it called he didnt pay attention to driving simple

@@Bibiana862 it's not about him not paying attention. The reason he didn't see the car up until it was too late was because the car was of silverish colour and very low, which made it almost invisible.
Watching him is emotionally draining...so many emotions are conveyed by a look, a gesture, a pose. He was many things to many different people. He is timeless, ethereal, and....unforgettable.
He was a gifted small town kid who captured a feeling we all have as kids. A lost and passionate and volatile yearning for life. When he died, he froze those those things... forever.
I used to watch this video everyday, I don't know why I ever stopped. Life just catches up to you, then suddenly you remember what was important to you and to take time and go back to it. Sorry I left you for a while Jimmy, but I'll always come back. xxxx
Just one question... how the Hell can someone make "Cool " look so effortless? How did he do it?? Every single photo, whether on or off screen, he just had "IT"
He was so damn photogenic! The camera loved him and naturally followed him because he was interesting and he was interested in life. A born star! Brilliant Actor but he was interested in racing and photography and directing and writing! Who knows where he would have gone with his instincts and talents. I think he would have gone on to write and direct and even star in his own movies kind of like Woody Allen did, only in LA. We lost a Giant when he died. RIP
I have repeated this like 80 times, I love the music and the very beginning photos of him learning ballet make me want to cry like a baby. lol...so inspiring
He could've made more awesome films if he lived longer but he had another hobby he enjoyed speed racing sad he died doing something he enjoyed i wished he didn't speed beyond speed limit we don't have answers but great actor who fulfilled his passion
when I was teenager at fifteen I was complete wallflower, but was in love with this girl that all the guys wanted. I was shy and got picked on by some of the others guys because I was kind of small. one day she came up to me and said you look like James Dean. Looking back at photos of that time period. It was true. I did. And that day Jimmy Dean put me on the map. I didn't even know who he was, all I knew was the girl of my dreams came up to me. Thanks Jimmy.
I was a wall flower in high school, and one of the prettiest girls said she liked me because I wasn't like the other boys. I had a crush for her all the way back to Jr. high.
I think our love for him is more intense because he's dead. If he was alive we would have just been normal fangirls, and it's makes him, us, you special, thank you guys for your videos and everything ♥. Of course I would still prefer if he was alive...
I really hope so. In my head I can't help but think that he isn't dead. He's somewhere, but I try to not think that because everytime I do it hurts my heart so much when I come back to reality again...
Thank you! Him in that damn cowboy hat!! Such a unique actor/person. Handsome, photogenic and sexy, indeed. I don't know if the cigarette was a prop or if he smoked like a chimney. I'm afraid he would have died young like Bogart from smoking. R.I.P. James Dean
He was hot and cool. And lean and mean and kind and cruel. All James Dean! He broke the Fourth Wall and made you feel like it was real what was happening on the screen. The first Rebel Teen and Punk and Rock n Roll Star! When the Beatles were first together they wore leather jackets and all tried to look cool like Dean with their poses. Check Stu Sutcliff with the Sunglasses and hair. He looks like James Dean! The Epitome of Cool! Dean, Elvis and Brando Were the leaders of the Rebellion back then.
You can see his concentration as an actor--that is why people like him. And the vulnerability/looks, too. It was a loss and a half to lose him so early--but there are some marvelous tv shows he did and the three movies of course.
He was a star rapidly on the rise during this time that's why these photographers hanged around him and seemed to photographed him in his every move.For someone who didn't stayed too long the amount of photos he left behind was remarkable.
this is my favorite tribute to james dean, i think it captures who he was and how the world looked at him. he was a social icon portraying a rebel, when in reality he was just trying to find himself. more people should be like him. james dean will always be remembered, and i wish i had known him.
If the sincerity would have been formed like a being alive this would have been James Dean. He was so true...absolutelly. that way of involve his true self with his characters and make them Connect in some amazing point...was his true genious
Good initial observationits hard to say---he was a professional. his roles may have reflected his own persona--where does it stop and being? he would have moved on had he lived---
James Dean 1955 - Porsche spyder 550 - he wa stopped for speeding in a 55 mph limit, he was been Followed by a 1955 Ford County Squire Station wagon pulling a trailer ! Also just watched UA-cam video - James Dean's Spyder...Found? SEE 22 seconds says Serial number of car 550-0055
@titleistisadamscott i'm a huge james dean fan, but i wouldnt like to meet him simply because to most people he met he was very moody and ignorant. people identify with him as a person because they have similar personality traits as a person i think meeting him wouldnt be as enlightening and amazing as people belive it would be
jesus, fell here- am 43 years old, he was just a man- no discerning thing, i forgot him, and will again, just really nothing actors...t.s.elliott, rimbaud, bohmul hrabel, stefan zweig, i carry these in my heart- 'barbed-wire twisting the heart'- perhaps for you though..? dean....there is greater art, soul, music and the breath stolen from your very mouth elsewhere, just look...
@LilyNoelleArt No..an actor's job isnt to create a persona for themselves (which surely by definition would be false or phoney), it's to create a character, mostly using someone else's words, in a play or film. James Dean DID create a persona for himself..the lonely, misunderstood lost boy wandering the mean streets of New York looking for work, love and affection..all false, all "phoney". Self-obsessed, insensitive to other people's feeling and narcissistic..much closer to the truth.
@dadesmom "Jelous"..is that the best you can come up with? Or "he's the man" and I'm not..that's just pathetic. And I dont hate him, or you. I used to be a fan..I have a large collection of books and videos/dvds on him.I too believed the myth but when I realised it really WAS a myth I felt so let down and, no exageration, betrayed. So, although you obviously disagree, you cant deny that, given my years of being a devoted fan, I have a right to my views.
+Anna Comloski One of Al Pacino's biggest acting influences was James Dean...just sayin. The fact that he only made three films and became that famous should tell you just how truly great of an actor he was.
There's four legends that live on . James Dean. Elvis. Marilyn Monroe. Bob Marley. They ware different .They set trends that young generations still follow to this day . But taxi driver & scareface are classics .
Those guys are great, and two of my favorites. The thing is, they didn't get their lives snuffed out at age 24, fortunately. Either actor would tout Dean's acting skills, and have done.
He is in a better place. Thank you James Byron Dean for making all of us so happy. We love and miss you RIP

Amazing photos. A lot from photographers Dennis Stock and Sanford Roth. The best ever.

james dean was the man and um - yur not.
