JAMES DEAN. THE ETERNAL REBEL


As a teenager had an idol James Dean. My fervor was such that cut out all the articles that appeared in magazines and read them so many times I memorized his biography. The boy blue jeans and red jacket, imitated not only by teenagers in the 50s but for future generations.

With just three films as an actor, the truth is that I had everything to be a symbol of youthful rebellion: handsome, hipster, melancholy, lonely and passionate as the roles he played interpret.
He was nominated for an Oscar for her first role in "East of Eden" based on a novel by John Steinbeck. Cal there was a troubled kid reprimanded by his father who adored eldest son, whose procedure was always right. Cal instead was rough, introverted, questioner.
His next protagonist was the mythical "Rebel Without a Cause," which also played a antisocial guy in conflict with their parents and the values ​​of the adult world. Loaded with a vital anguish is overcome with the help of two friends, the beautiful Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo jovencísimo. Both actors have a tragic end in real life like Jimmy, Natalie drowned at age 43 and Sal was killed with only 37 years.
Finally "Giant" reflects the experiences of a Texan, racist, classist and conservative family, a former worker (Dean) more open-minded, though reclusive and misanthropic. For this role he receives the second Oscar nomination posthumously.
But nothing better to know a person to know how he thought:
"I want to fly so high that no one can reach me. Not to prove anything. I just want to get where you should go. " This says a lot about his technique and love for acting, not in vain was formed in the prestigious Actor s Studio. He gave himself completely, crying, laughing, screaming, hitting ... everything was viscerally.
"I try my hardest people to reject me, why?" Or this one phrase "I do not understand how people can stand to be in a room with me" .The two reflect their own, rough, introverted spirit, perhaps product a suffering child lost his mother because with only 9 years old and was raised by farmers uncles.
They say that his great love was Pier Angeli, who left this suicide note: "I have a horrible fear growing old ... ..The love is behind us, died in a Porch". They seemed, she conformist, quiet, angelic and he was a rebel and take back opposite poles, but the fact is that both were too sensitive and unstable emotionally.
They also say that Dean was gay and had been molested by a reverend.
They say so many things ... as he is no longer difficult to know where the truth lies.
While he spoke well of Pier Angeli "The respect is untouchable. It is one of those girls who put on an altar to worship. But hey, her mother did not like me at all. " So little was pleased that the mother made to breach his fledgling Pier I relación.Poco later married a singer. They say that the wedding day Jimmy was stopped by a motorcycle in front of the church and revved the engine, to make noise during the ceremony.
Another actor famous phrase, "I can not change the wind direction, but adjust my sails to always reach my destination", referring to the willpower perhaps.
A tragic car accident ended his life when he was 24 years old and a promising future ahead. This eventually turn it into legend for moviegoers.
As foreshadowing his fate had said: "You have to live quickly, death comes soon"
- And so it was. His glittering career and premature death aboard a Porche him a youth icon worldwide.
