    Between square inches, there are waves. This is the story in the family. The movies at that time always hit the heart. I was longing for love, but I couldn't get a little bit of love. "I even want to buy your love." James Dean is so charming, I really feel pity . Of course, there are not only family differences, but also conflicts between religion and worldview. There is always a person who, in the name of goodness, inflicts pain on others. You want revenge, no, no, no, he is a good man, how...

    Ugh. . . James Dean. . . . Even if you have all the love in one, if you can't get that one person's love, everything else is just a...

    I watched Dean's "East of Eden" at the Beijing Film Festival, and finally felt what Truffaut said, Dean was performing with intuition and inspiration. Every gesture is a show, and he is cute from time to time. He is indeed a good actor who is handsome, charming and has tension in acting. It's a pity that a car accident took his young life. The film is full of fun and interesting, but it is also very bloody. The audience laughed several times, but I didn't expect it to be so...

    The wall between brothers is used to imply the anti-war sentiment of the film itself. Although the tone is a little sad, the film turns the car back to the theme of "love" at the end, with far-reaching meaning. There's something wild about James Dean, and he's...

    It's so blissful to feel the vertigo and oppression of tilting and shaking on the screen. The father and brother are morally and intellectually right, while the younger brother is emotionally right. But it's really strange that when I thought everything was going downhill, I was greeted with a happy and happy reunion by the male protagonist. Ah, after all, it seems that Blanche died again. Dean is indeed a good...

    Haha Deen is so graceful and graceful that he was described as a "smart and sentimental young farmer" by the profile, Lei cried!...

    The flower of hurt and hatred, the dance of love and suffering. The script and acting are top notch. Kazan's dramatic expression is extremely simplified, and the characters' desire for freedom and love is more pure. Return to character and touch the original emotions of people's hearts. Dean's first screen image is also his most extreme role, with a lively, wicked and cute character, and the real drama is indistinguishable to...

    The story was well written, especially when I saw the ending, I still burst into tears; Kazan's training on the actors is really good; my eyes never left Dean for a...

    The father was selfish until the end, like the God of the Bible, favoring Abel and ignoring Cain. The evil fruit of jealousy burns in the male protagonist's mind, causing the camera to tilt like a Libra. "Stay by your side" may be just the male protagonist's imagination. He is trapped in his father's curse. If the final companionship liberation is just an illusion, it would be too tragic. The plot of the film is simple, but the interpretation is very...

    Amazing! A literary-rich family ethics tragedy (or comedy?) that explores morality, love, and sin. My conclusion: the greatest virtue of truth, goodness and beauty should be the truth, otherwise nothing will stand; the self-proclaimed greatest love, if you don’t have the courage to accept the truth, is just a fake flower weaved by yourself, enough for viewing, not for belief; the troubles of mediocrity, Often we create the shackles and carry them ourselves, but most of us should be...

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.
