Biographers often analyze complex personality through the prism of Dean uneasy childhood. Born February 8, 1931, spent the first years of life in the relative stability that ensured the family's father - a dental technician. But at age 8 orphaned by his mother goes to education for relatives and trauma, which then survives, cast a shadow over his later life. Short, bespectacled filigree is a tough kid, but at the same time - contrary to the physical weakness - is the star of the basketball team. Then he goes on to study law but quickly abandoned them for acting. Begins standard: episodes in the cinema and television advertising. The breakthrough is moving to New York City and education at the legendary Actors Studio. And then two performances at Broadway theaters: in the "See the Jaguar" and "Immoraliście. This last piece that makes the young actor gets the call for a screen test from Elia Kazan, who starts shooting "East of Eden" by the last part of the great saga of John Steinbeck. The role of Cala Trask Dean opens the door to fame. Already during the premiere of hysterical teenage audience reacts to his every appearance on screen. In the same season, almost simultaneously, playing three main roles. The second is Jim Nicholas Ray film in a prophetic title of "Rebel Without a Cause." Third, the figure Jetta Rink in "Giant," George Stevens remains virtually infinite: Dean died in a car accident, and some scenes replaced by understudy. This disaster of 30 September 1955, made history. Just as silver porsche actor, whose remains were taken interests. But - ironically - it was the tragic death of Dean has brought a true immortality.
James Dean
The question is whether it justifies his acting craft? Canons of acting, such as canons of beauty change with time, but a distinctive style of play is placed outside the Dean's eras. Graduate of the Actors Studio, of course, derives from the famous Stanislavski and Strasberg's Method (complete identification the character played), but adds a lot more from each other. Not only elements of mime and expression of the silent film - primarily equips his characters in exhibitionism, which today may seem manieryczny, but still impresses with sincerity and strength. Dean always play the whole body, does not flinch from improvisation. Just as in the famous scene from "East of Eden" when Cal throws herself sobbing into the arms of his father, surprising him playing Raymond Massey (written by Dean had run out of room). The effect of spontaneous reaction of both actors was excellent. The Dean has identified a to such an extent with the character of Jim Stark in "Rebel Without a Cause" that moved to the screen his private lifestyle and the now famous "uniform": faded jeans, white shirt, short jacket. Since the beginning of his career he was also known that clears whole lot of dialogue, saying its own issues. Field to truly show off the acting gave him the role of the Jetta with the "Giant". But playing a rebellious young man first, then bitter old man is not the end of the call. The sequences of the 60-year-old Jette reflect on all the characterization and artificiality of the game, the actor, who clearly the problems lay not so advanced age group. What is most interesting characters played by him, applies directly to him and to his peers. It is primarily an outsider in conflict with the world of adults (Cal, Jim) and their own environment (Jett). None of these characters is not met in love and no one can find his place under the sun. Even success in life turns out to be only half (Jett). This "personal coherence," the actor and the roles played by him meant that it could be - forever - baptized as a "rebel without a reason."
