Elijah Kazan is very powerful, Steinbeck is such an ambitious masterpiece, he changed it into a melodrama of less than 2 hours, directly from Cal’s search for mother, the emotional entanglement between brothers, father and son, mother and son, and men and women. Everything is covered. James Dean fits Cal, a kid with evil nature and angel face. After that, his characters in the Legend of Giants and Unreasonable Resistance are also very similar to Cal. I really like my father Adam, a purist. He finally went to the station to chase Aron and watched Aron smash the car window with his head. His expression was too good. But after all, 2 hours is not addictive. There are some clues and details that are not explained clearly. For example, why Aron is so opposed to participating in the war. This should be causally related to the characterization of the character, just because we are from the second half of the novel. It started partially, so it lacked many details.
I watched the beginning of the Korean drama version, and I didn't have time to watch it anymore, because it didn't attract me the first time. Steinbeck is an American writer I like very much. "The Grapes of Wrath" is equally powerful. He is the kind of compassionate and compassionate type who writes for Nobel. With such a grand narrative structure, if it wasn't for commercial considerations at the time, or it was postponed to the 70s, the film should have been shot for 3-4 hours.
The previous paragraph saw how Kazan killed Boomerang! , The same praise, it also aroused me a little creative idea.
