Smith reverently views the touching scene with patriotic pride.An elderly black man with his hat against his chest also looks up reverently.To locate Smith, Saunders caustically suggests to Senator Paine on the phone: "Why don""t they try the police? Call out some bloodhounds or Indian guides.Plot SynopsisBehind the credits, the film opens in Los Angeles with one of the three teenagers, the major character, lone troublemaker Jim Stark (James Dean) seen tipsy-drunk in the darkness, lying contentedly (in a fetal position) on a sidewalk curb with a beatific smile on his face.) when relationships have become insubstantial, unsupportive, or hurtful.In a broader, more universal sense, the stability of the home and natural world environment, symbolized by broken teacups at the domestic level, is in jeopardy and becoming disordered when people cannot ""see"" the dangers gathering nearby, and cannot adequately protect themselves from violence behind transparent windows, telephone booths, eyeglasses, or facades.Following up on the clue given him by Lecter ("You looked but didn""t see"), Graham further examined the Jacobi personal effects, including their home movies." He is drawn o gospel-singers in a nearby all-black church, is taken in as a dirty hobo (after ardently singing in the congregation), and soon is back on his feet as a traveling salesman hustling vacuum cleaners.
