No wonder he is always compared to Leslie Cheung in "The True Story", the spiritual core of the two characters is probably interlinked (the scene where Dean goes to borrow money from his mother can be compared with the scene where the mother and son reunite in "The True Story" Look, the delicate balance between the mother and son is worth pondering).

After watching these films, you will understand why everyone loves James Dean, such a fragile, vulnerable and beautiful species who died young is born to be loved. Carl's heart-wrenching cry when his father rejects the gift that Carl has painstakingly sent is truly empathetic.
