    How he struggles, he's doing everything to get her attention, that she opens her heart ~ to him. There's no doubt in his look, in his touching - she in her shyness is save.
    That's a big part of what makes him so extraordinaryly attractive, his need his obsession to be loved? To get out of this lonliness in his body. This desire, his need, his shyness. And its all worth for ~ he gives it all back, his love.
    They both look so relaxed, beautiful and happy, when they are in touching, hugging each other at last.
    Thats what i see ... ❤️
    Its a masterpiece of this game ~ of Appeal, Empathy and bonding, ...

    Lois Smith is still acting today at 94. She's been in TV series like Sneaky Pete, Ray Donovan, the new Law and Order Organized Crime, and Gossip girl, just in the past 2 years.

    in all the screen tests of James Dean i see on him that lack of love he was feeling!! 2:05 all in the tests are so correct, giving sparks of their characters...but Jim´s greatness is that he creates an incredible mix between his own spontaneity and the feelings and actions of his characters!!!

    James Dean is effective to watch with music because he was very physical and less verbal. Like all great actors he knew how to express himself when he acted and this was magic to the camera. And in our world we talk a lot but very little do we express ourselves physically and in a way which is honest and simple. Perhaps we feel we would stand out to much or in fear of being ridiculed for who we are. Safer to keep the mask on but is it rewarding? Hell no.

    • @zachham1949
      @zachham1949 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I believe a screen test like this is done more so during the casting/pre-production phase; it's purpose is to allow for the director, cinematographer, casting, etc. to get a visual feel for the on screen chemistry between actors.
      Lighting is determined and done on the spot during filming and is reviewed and examined at the end of each day after filming (called dailies). The exposed film reels were taken to special expedited film photo labs that developed the film and the "dailies" were then rushed back to the studio/set for the crew to either review it same day or the next morning. Lighting would then be examined and adjusted if needed.
      This is of course only regarding classic film production. Nowadays, digital video allows for immediate playback and review on set.
