Every boy has a Dean in his heart

It was the night a few years ago, with my hands in my pockets, I was alone on the street where the snowflakes were flying, like a lonely wanderer. Recalling this situation and situation reminds me of the lonely teenager who disappeared in the world half a century ago.
The boy had a miserable childhood, his eyes were deep with melancholy, his beauty was suffocating, his talents made Marlon Brando ashamed, and his incredible stubbornness made him lonely. . But after that, a whole generation of Americans followed!
As an actor, he is great. Long before Robert De Niro, he had already performed the "methodist" to the point of proficiency. In order to act a good show, he can do nothing. Elizabeth Taylor worked with him for the first time that year, and he was still a rookie. He was very nervous. In order to restrain his emotions, he quickly entered the scene. He untied his belt and started to urinate under Taylor's surprised eyes. He told himself: If I If I can do this, I can conquer my character! This scene is enough to make all young professional actors reflect!
Perhaps, he is really too good, some of the good ones do not eat the fireworks in the world, so his life died prematurely, just like the old saying: Since ancient times, the beauty is like a famous general, and the world is not allowed to see white heads. "My idols are all going to die. Only if they die, they can live." When James Dean uttered these words without shame in an interview, he certainly did not expect that he would drive towards a road when he was driving his beloved Porsche. No return.
In the middle of the night on September 30, 1955, Dean’s soul was scattered around the scene of the car accident, and then rushed into space, falling into the hearts of generations of ignorant boys, no matter what their race or skin color, whether the land they were born in was poverty or rich. Since then, every boy has a Dean in his heart, whether he knows it or not. On the lonely long street, in the lonely wilderness, in the bewildered concrete forest, there is always a voice guiding them in their hearts, bravely facing the pain of beautiful growth!

East of Eden quotes

  • [Abra pleads with Adam to reconcile with his son]

    Abra: Mr. Trask, it's awful not to be loved. It's the worst thing in the world. Don't ask me - even if you could - how I know that. I just know it. It makes you mean, and violent, and cruel. And that's the way Cal has always felt, Mr. Trask. All his life! Maybe you didn't mean it that way - but it's true. You never gave him your love. You never asked for his. You never asked him for one thing.

  • Abra: But you must give him some sign, Mr. Trask, some sign that you love him... or he'll never be a man. All his life he'll feel guilty and alone unless you release him.
