    Kazan abandoned the stage-like performances and lines in A Streetcar Named Desire, and retained a unique sense of imagery and interactive tension between characters. Dean (like Flamboyant!) has shaped a casual but kind heart. This modern version of Quoting and Abel's biblical story preserves the family (husband and father's responsibilities) view of marriage (Abra versus the brothers) and even controversial values ​​(mother and Cal hate "good" so...

    The chaotic and tangled family relationship of the family ethics film is a long and delicate foreshadowing for more than an hour, and the final climax is suddenly touching. btw: 1 tilt the lens 2 as if Cain was born, those who are debauched and those who are uninhibited are not worth the...

    I really don't think James Dean's acting skills are so good and charming, and it's even more exaggerated to say that he is great. The plot and shooting techniques of this film are extremely mediocre. The so-called rebellion and crime of the protagonist are not shown. How much crime did Ellen commit? Didn't kill the brother like Cain...

    In the 1950s, there were many family ethics films involving teenagers or youth growth in the United States. Another work "Rebel without a Cause" starring James_Dean is one of the representative works. The emergence of such films should have a great relationship with the social environment of the year. The film has traces of stage play, the play is rigorous, the details are excellent, and the performance is in...

    #BJIFF# ​​I watched two episodes in which a girl who was obsessed with her father pinned her emotions on a melancholy and rebellious teenager. Although the teenager was slightly dissatisfied with his father, he undoubtedly loved his father deeply. not my...

    This family ethics story, which was born out of the Bible with the label of simile and metaphor for fear that others might not know it, was immortalized only by two names, one named Elijah Kazan and the other named James Dean. The reason why it is immortal is that the father-son relationship and brotherhood it expresses are abnormally distorted and alienated because of moral superiority, and collapse in an instant before being exposed to the ugliness of reality, placing goodness under the...

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.
