Great movie, like many of Elia Kazan, sometimes distressing to see. James Dean transmits his anguish

James Dean was a true talent, and his acting is always superb this is a really great film that has a few plotpoints that don't circle around all the way but that's my only problem with this film because when this film is at it's best it's hard to dislike anything about it.

No amount of words can express how beautiful this movie is. James Dean and Julie Harris's performance felt real. It was magical and very touching. Anyone can relate to this movie, it's a masterpiece. I love it! 10/10
