    How long does it take to fall in love with James Dean? Half the time of East of Eden. Such a lovely boy, such a good actor, such a moving movie. At the end, I was crying and laughing. Sometimes love is about feeling...

    The more they love, the more they rebel. In the end, the reconciliation of father and son's family love is still based on tragedy. Wise lines masterfully dominate the film with a bitter sense of humour. Dean's character traits are almost in the same line, and it is well-deserved to be promoted to the ranks of the best actors of the golden age with only three...

    No matter how orthodox style is, it can't resist the hypnosis of western educational films. I withdraw halfway after watching it. It's serious enough to pretend to force. And no matter how handsome Dean is, he can't stand the old playful and neurotic young man. If he survived the disaster, his acting career would also have a huge flaw. Too handsome is not a good...

East of Eden quotes

  • [Abra pleads with Adam to reconcile with his son]

    Abra: Mr. Trask, it's awful not to be loved. It's the worst thing in the world. Don't ask me - even if you could - how I know that. I just know it. It makes you mean, and violent, and cruel. And that's the way Cal has always felt, Mr. Trask. All his life! Maybe you didn't mean it that way - but it's true. You never gave him your love. You never asked for his. You never asked him for one thing.

  • Abra: But you must give him some sign, Mr. Trask, some sign that you love him... or he'll never be a man. All his life he'll feel guilty and alone unless you release him.
