James Dean (2001 TV Movie)
9/10
James Franco's on top of his game
4 August 2005
Before I started my senior year in high school, I had watched the premiere of the TNT original movie about the famous actor who died at a young age in the 1950's. The actor who portrays the late actor is James Franco (who strikes a resemblance) in which throughout the film, Franco portrays the character with such realism that we are convinced that he IS James Dean. This film is a look from how he started off in Hollywood doing famous films as "Giant" and "Rebel Without A Cause" to the conflicts he had in his family and the early marriage he had. Yet, as of now, people still cherish James Dean as a recognizable actor who died too young; as of 2005, I only pray that James Franco doesn't leave us anytime soon as he continues to make movies.
