Unlike Peary, I didn&#8217;t find it &#8220;hard not to get exasperated with Jimmy J.&#8221; &#8212; and while the &#8220;concept of star-worship and star-identification&#8221; is indeed &#8220;scary&#8221;, I didn&#8217;t necessarily think that Jimmy could have controlled his grief any better. Indeed, Jimmy&#8217;s idolatry of Dean reflects the need we <em>all<\/em> have to project our fantasies and fears onto larger-than-life heroes; his grief rings true. As Peary notes, &#8220;What&#8217;s most striking is how the film conveys the sadness, loneliness, and frustration that a teenager feels when no one shares his emotions about something meaningful.&#8221; Particularly poignant scenes include the opening scene, as Jimmy J. is watching <a href=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=37302\"><em>East of Eden<\/em> (1955)<\/a> for the third
