Sex & Nudity
-
- While James returns to his father's house in a scene James is sitting in his room and hears his father and new wife having sex. Just heavy breathing and a light moan. We hear his wife repeat his name a few times as she moans.
- James makes out with a woman. 5-8 seconds not that inappropriate.
- James kisses a man forcefully.
- James is briefly seen kissing a girl in bed it's implied they are both nude but we not see anything.
- The girl James says he is in love with is 16 and this takes place in 1951 so that makes Dean 19 or 20.
- James Dean takes provocative photos of his girlfriend.
- After a somewhat physical fight Pier and James are implied to have sex. The scene is confusing because I don't know whether she wanted to or not. He tells her to open her mouth and moves her leg.
- Dean's manager makes slightly inappropriate comments about 17-year old Natalie Wood.
- James Dean is seen fully nude from behind for 2 seconds. The shot is at a distance and only is butt is shown.
Violence & Gore
-
- A brief scuffle happens when Dean freaks out during an improvisation class. He wrestles with other student and is put up against the wall while trying to be calmed down.
- James pulls a knife on a director and holds it against his neck.
- Pier slaps Dean. Dean proceeds to slap her harder. The scene is quick.
- Dean starts to for real choke a man on a movie and he is pulled off.
Profanity
-
- 4 uses of damn, 3 uses of hell, 4 uses of ass, 1 use of crap, son of a bitch is said twice, and 1 dick is used once.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- James Dean smokes and so do other characters.
- Smoking is seen throughout the movie with multiple people shown smoking casually.
- James chugs a beer briefly because he is nervous before an audition.
- Alcohol consumption isn't all that present but smoking is seen throughout. Cigarettes and only one scene with a cigar. They aren't really addressed because it was normal for the frequent smoking.
- Smoking is more for the time period with frequent use being normal for the time.
- James actually gets drunk for one of his scenes in a movie.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Dean's mother is lightly implied to hit by her husband. It is not too apparent but the scene is more sad because his mother has been convinced by his father for her to receive psychiatric evaluation.
Spoilers
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- Dean's mother dies when he is 9 years old. His father leaves him to his grandparents. Not permanently though because the scene ends happily as Dean finally gets some affection from his father.
- While on the train, Dean sits next to his mother's coffin and tries to speak to her.
- Dean's father abandons him and Dean reminisces that he didn't show up to his mother's funeral or his house ever,
- James Dean dies at the end of the movie off-screen. We see the startled look on people's faces as they get the news.
