    Dean has such depth in his character here. He looked deep inside his own fears and loneliness. And put those emotions into his character. Great acting .

    I love the way James Dean's voice breaks in some places, yet he doesnt the loose the character in the flood of his emotions, a proof of his unfiltered and raw acting! Reagan did a good job too, an organized and composed demeanor thruout.

    • @Nikes62
      @Nikes62 3 роки тому +2

      Reagan was one dimensional and of the wooden variety, his acting career came to a grinding halt. He became successful as a spokesperson for Westinghouse, then as the narrator on the TV western "Wagon Train", his last acting job, then shortly after he started his long foray into politics as gov of California. Even his first wife, Jane Wyman did not think that much of him as an actor.

    Thanks! It was great to see James Dean with a big star. James would have been a big star and I guess really he was for the little we saw of him. Those three movies were so good. R.I.P. James Dean

    Maybe thre's a lot of peoples think that Dean have done just 3 movies as me in a recent time but never thought that he did a TV drama like this 'n' in addition with Reagan. Amazing.

    Wow! High and intense drama. I had never seen this clip before. All TV in those days was presented live and everyone was very convincing. Dean as always, so powerful. Imagine if he had lived instead of having his young life cut short so suddenly. Only 24 at the time of his death in 1955 and even then a true star which still shines brightly.

    Two distinct acting styles collide. This is the best example I can think of if you want to SEE the fact that acting changes over time, and rarely but occasionally, two very different eras run right into each other. Don't write RR off, look tat 5:00 in the scene and you'll see he's just as powerful as JD, who at that point is getting overwrought. Amazing opportunity to see this.

    Reagan may not have been a great actor, but was not a bad one. He was very dedicated to his career and had some truly good moments on film. His ability to memorize a lot of dialogue helped him become an excellent public speaker, first as a General Electric spokesman and then as a politician. Regardless of whether you agreed with his politics, he certainly succeeded in the careers he undertook.

      Agreed and people that do not like him conveniently ignore that he was a leading man for many years at the great Warner Bros. Studio and was very much part of the "Golden Age of Hollywood" He had a long and solid, if not spectacular career and nothing to be ashamed of. He did well and received his "Hollywood Star on the Walk of Fame" years before he went into politics.

      On Nov. 13, 1986, President Reagan declared in a national address, “We did not - repeat - did not trade weapons or anything else for hostages - nor will we.”
      He lied. Arms sales to Iran acted as leverage to assist in getting American hostages released from Lebanon. Missile shipments were huge. Two thousand and four TOW missiles, along with 18 HAWK missiles. By early 1986, profits from the arms sales were being channeled to provide unauthorized support for the Contras. Have we all forgotten the facts? Look into it. Unfortunately we need a leader with substance, not an actor.

      troybirch Troy is is possible Reagan didn't know? If it was proved that he lied the Democrats would have impeached him. How many times now do we see the,"President didn't know" line with Obama? I bet you accept that he didn't know, why not Reagan?

    • @troybirch
      @troybirch 10 років тому +1

      Thanks for the civil response! Rare from either "side". Yes, it is possible Reagan was unaware of what was done- unfortunately, that is the problem. He made it clear what he wanted and fostered the environment where this could happen. It is also clear that Reagan did suffer from early stages of the horrible disease that killed him while in office. I agree that Reagan was the kind of guy you'd like to have a beer with, but we need more from our leaders then that. Thanks!

      For decades, acting was his profession. He was a leading man at Warner Bros. for a long time and made over fifty movies, not counting a lot of TV Later on. On UA-cam, you can see him in many clips as a younger man in Hollywood. He was in Hollywood from 1937 - 1965.

    This is my favorite thing that Dean did. It has a slight "Pulp Fiction" feel to it. You can see where Tarantino got some of his ideas from in 1940s and '50s movies. Pill poppers getting into trouble and falling on dark times.

    Fun fact: Ronald Reagan was fired from hosting General Electric Theater in 1962 after he criticized the TVA, an agency that gave federal government contracts to GE. His son Michael has suggested that Bobby Kennedy, who was Attorney General in his brother's Cabinet at the time, threatened to withhold future contracts unless the show was cancelled or Reagan was fired, and GE chose the latter.
    Two years later, the TVA was also the subject of a Democrat attack ad against Barry Goldwater in the 1964 presidential campaign, which quoted Goldwater as endorsing a sale of the agency.
