LIFE

REVIEWED
This is a very slow story about 2 men who become friends where one is hoping for the other to make their career works. These were about James Dean and his photographer friend Dennis Stock. It happened around 1955 before JD became famous.

Theres no climax or outburst or even comedy in this one. Its OK if you are a fan of James Dean and wanting to know more about his life which could be rather surprising as to what being painted he was about. He was actually a home farm boy who care for his roots. though sloopy and easy going with his way which annoyed his bosses, he was actually not what we thought he was - womaniser, drug addiction et all. The film also tells about his struggle and how hard he wanted to be famous.

Nostalgic in seeing how a picture was taken in those days with Black and White film spooled camera. How the flash require a new bulb after every takes.

This film has a natural scene when JD was with his girl friend (Pier) in one of the scene. No issue of having a bra whilst on bed. Thou the boobs shot was unnecessary guess they want to make it in to make some spice for the film.

This is one of those film where you have 2 British actors playing Americans. One happened to be an icon. But they did it well where you wont know they are not Americans at all

Joel Edgarton is also in this movie. How good he is to look and act differently from his characters in other movies his in. 

As mentioned, this is a very slow movie. Good if you just want to know the man James Dean.
