Joshua Tree, 1951: A Portrait of James Dean - 8/10

James Preston does a fairly decent job of portraying Dean in this one. I found it odd that they never mentioned his roommate William Bast by name - he is just credited as "The Roommate"

I also have never heard of this Violet women that is in a large part of the film. They also refer to Rogers Brackett as just Roger.

I was glad to see a film that explored Dean's sexuality as we see him having sex with both men and women. Most films have just mostly hinted at it.

most of the scenes taking place at Brackett's home are shot beautifully.
