A moody but shallow endeavor
The problem with this movie is that neither DeHaan, nor Pattinson hold the attention of the audience. The script is nondescript, and the directing cannot make up for the lack of a compelling story and characterization.DeHaan looks like a childish version of Dean with his unlined face, rounded cheeks, feathered, rubbable hair and those full, pink lips.
Dean was young, but had an old soul reflected in his lined face, sunken eyes, and impossibly attractive visage. Even James Franco — much as I detest that actor — was better than DeHaan. The story had no real climax… its twin journeys (of the co-protagonists) made shallow and dull via the absence of any real conflict or urgency of mission.
I’m sure Corbijn had good intentions.
I gave this one a four.
Real Life is Dull
Not that this necessarily pertains to the period of interaction between Dean and a photographer, but Dean was a race car driver. He was heavily involved in that during that year. So he wasn’t just a restless spirit laying around. He had a daredevil spirit and lots of races. He was portrayed here as a bored farm boy. What I did like was showing how people get to know each other over time, and how life is actually fairly boring even for a burgeoning star during the inactive hours of a week. Even James Dean has to eat, sleep, visit family, and sign paperwork.But there was not much reason shown for anyone to find Dean interesting. Even the photographer, who was initially captivated by some indescribable quality, scolded him for being a whiny self-interested nobody.
Having said that, and having read comments from Dean fans, I am willing to believe that the real Dean had charisma and a face that expressed pain and depth.
I liked the farm sequence. It showed you that Dean wasn’t really a rebel, because he loved his family, his home town, and America. Everyone comes from somewhere. He’s from a sleepy small town in the Midwest and his mother died when he was young. That should explain his sleepy demeanor tinged with sadness.
The nudity was great, because that girl was beautiful. But it was totally gratuitous. There is absolutely no reason to show boobs when two people are talking in bed.
You do get a sense that the country is on the brink of a new vibe, with the balance of old and new in the culture., and our characters’ comfort in hanging out with black folks.
Look, there’s not much to this story, but it is mildly interesting to see the life of a struggling early Hollywood photographer, and a fresh star. Plus I always enjoy depictions of male bonding, with all their ups and downs.
Unless those things interest you, avoid it. Because like life itself, this thing is dull.
