The history of the Democratic wife's influence on the Republican husband

It's a waste of a Western epic if you're just thinking of James Dean's final film as James Dean's last film in memory of a teenage icon who died young: 10 Oscar nominations on full display (the year's most-nominated film) .But there were too many good films that year, and the awards were too scattered, so the film finally won only one - George Stevens' second best director award), and the 40 million box office highlights its popularity (maintaining Warner Bros.' box office record until "Superman" 20 years later), 95% of Rotten Tomatoes confirms its reputation, and its inclusion in the National Film Registry affirms its historical status... But I would like to like the original book more here. This is another best-selling novel by female author Edna Ferber, which tells the story of the struggle of Texas farmers in the first half of the last century, especially the confrontation between the new oil tycoon and the traditional livestock industry. But from today’s perspective, it’s more like a value propaganda film where a Democratic wife (Taylor) from a blue state gradually influences a Republican husband (Hudson) from a red state over decades. Family honor, industriousness, piety tradition, various (etc.) divisions (levels) and their (sub) positions (clearly), these American conservatives cherish and abide by the creeds, in the equality of men and women, racial equality, openness and tolerance, respect for individual freedom In the face of ism had to give way.

    You never know how far James Dean would have gone had he not left us a dominant image of youth idol.

    After watching a lot of stunt movies now, suddenly returning to this epic film of the 1950s and 1960s, I feel very back to basics.
