Had he made a different film for his one lead role, would he be forever known as the great lost cowboy, private detective or suave ladies man?Dessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172245410667624187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335502008944631925.post-60968974341818140192019-05-30T13:34:27.439-07:002019-05-30T13:34:27.439-07:00Maybe I had more of a problem with the main charac...Maybe I had more of a problem with the main character in Rebel rather than James Dean...I think past Amanda was generous with Rock (I still love him but the term "great" might be a little much)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13701724130997076650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335502008944631925.post-16834869876692795362019-05-11T08:25:29.465-07:002019-05-11T08:25:29.465-07:00I actually thought James Dean was a pretty good ac...I actually thought James Dean was a pretty good actor in Rebel... and even more so here. Whereas I find Rock Hudson to be a pretty face who doesn't act so much as look enigmatically expressionless in the hope that you paint your own thoughts onto his blank canvas. One man's meat is another man's poison, I suppose.<br /><br />I'm torn between saying this film was bloated and empty, or saying it was a well made epic.

I think...Yes, this was kind of long, wasn't it?<br />I think I liked it better than you, but that may be down to my practice of chopping up movies into multiple viewing sessions. Then it is easier to get through.<br />I found the general sentiments in the movie ranging from mildly to grossly offensive, but that may be me not being Texan.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.com
