The photos and interviews from his hometown were great. However, this piece sought to create a troubled boy of "rage, rebellion..." He was a creative person, he wasn't an outcast. My family and his were from Fairmount, for generations. He was accepted, had friends and dated one of my aunts. He even, (and this doesn't fit the image) had to ride in a car with my other aunt and her boyfriend to go to the skating rink in Marion, because my Grandmother wouldn't let my young aunt ride on his motorcycle. He was very talented, had big dreams and left the farm to make his way. Not unlike many young men of his time. He was just much more gifted than most...

What's this end you speak of?

Who are YOU calling a jackass?

By the way, today is January 26, 2012.

I'm still here. I must have missed "the end."

James Franco did indeed portray James Dean in a made for TV movie that was produced and aired on the TNT network years ago. I am not sure it is on DVD, but I'll bet you could find it on Netflix. Franco did a marvelous job. I think he should have gotten more acclaim than he did, but he is a big star now so it paid off anyway.

Yes, I would be interested if James Franco portrayed Dean. I love would it if he did Jeff Buckley too.

Although the producers were still using him for their promotion, we can easily look past the hype of the day. The photos tell his story. His devoted fans knew that he had a rare combination of talent, sensitivity and passion. Most likely he drank quite a bit.... acceptable in the day....which would account for his attitude at times. He was so very young to do what he did with no support or polished training. He knew for a long time that he was "on his own". If anything, James Dean was true to himself. Above all he was honest and the kids knew it. He had the courage to be himself. Sad that he did'nt get a chance to mature fully.....the twenties are such tough years.

I have no clue if it's just me or what but I kept seeing James Franco! He looks like James Dean and kinda sounds like him too. I think this was interesting to watch, but yet I lost some interest; at some parts it was just in the background as I did something else.

James Dean did very fine acting in the movie Giant. After watching this documentary, it is clear that the boy was not quite right in the head. It's probably from having to grow up without father and mother. Terrible life, terrible death too. He seemed to have a good heart though.
