This is great flatter , I remeber it very well, i was in highschool when i saw the movie after i read the book. I loved the crying scene under the tree and the scene with his father before that. James Dean is a wonderfull crier. I guess if he had lived up to his old age he would have had a great deal of crying scenes in the movies.
He also has an awsome break down  scene at the beginning of the ''Rebel Without a Cause''  with a lot of tears streaming down his cheeks. I'm so sorry he died because he would have been amazing.

I remember that scene, great eye for detail, flatter . I noticed  it everytime they aired Rebel Without a Cause on TNT channel and at one point it seemed i saw a drop of tear falling down from one of his eyes.I tried to record it several times to be sure about it but i couldn't decide finally since my video recorder and the tapes that i used showed the image at a very low quality.
Long time i thought this was the only crying scene. Untill  late highschool i never had the opportunity to see this movie from the very beginning when there's that major crying scene with visible tears. Taking into account the scene at the end when he opens his mouth wailing a little bit i thought James Dean was overacting it a bit there.
I also had the same impression in East of Eden before he goes out of the kitchen though the sounds he makes later on are much more convincing..
