    The complexity of human feelings is not just that the various intimate relationships between lovers can become "because you don't love me, so I love you" state may be explained as a sense of distance.//James Dean's image, personality and state are in a certain To a certain extent, it has condensed into the impression of the United States of that era, as if there was always anger and always...

    Dean was so lucky, the information hadn't exploded when he was alive, and the beauty hadn't faded when he died. He starred in the three movies so rebellious and sentimental, the condensed screen image has been larger than life. The movie itself is seven-pointed black and three-pointed romance, full of drama, and there are many commendable fragments. Perhaps it is the compromise of Hollywood in that era. Kazan gave the tragic story a small happy...

    It is almost James Dean's true character. Under the mask of arrogance and unruly, there is a sensitive and fragile heart hidden deep, using "bad" behavior to attract attention. "Bad" children do not need to forgive but only need love; Dean's charm Infinite, half-sophisticated and half-naive between a boy and a man, the scene of embracing his father and crying bitterly is heartbreaking; at the end, the father and son talk a little bit, shouldn't it be the catcher in the wheat field who walks...

    Longing for love is not so painful for a lifetime. What's more painful is that this kind of love is not love, but family. You can't be as easy as changing a lover, this is a bond that can never...

    The term "angry" was born specifically for James Dean, who is a leopard waiting for an opportunity in the jungle, and the movie he is participating in is shrouded in dangerous emotions. There are boys' slenderness and sensitivity, and men's stubbornness. Even the way of walking exudes unique sexy, both arrogant and weak. He is not afraid of the camera, even willing to tease. A movie legend, a star leader, unique in a...

    [Restored 4K version screened in the archive] Family ethics drama. Much better than "Rebellion Without a Cause" and "The Giant's Biography"! The first half hour of foreshadowing and narration finally successfully brought out the theme and reached the climax of the whole film, which came to an abrupt end. It's great. The photography style is very unique, deliberately using tilting and shaking to set off the atmosphere, which is more innovative. The repaired picture is very delicate. The personal...

    2013/10/11 Although only the last paragraph of the novel was intercepted, and many changes were made everywhere, two hours can be regarded as the story of Cal's fight for his father's love. James Dean is fascinated by the charm of thousands of people, a little bit away from the essence of the original, but it adds a lot to the movie; Abra's role is also fuller. But I still prefer Steinbeck's more precipitation narrative.

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.
