Maybe it was a pioneer in that era, but it was a pity that "East of Eden"

The long-admired James Dean retreated from the gorgeous exterior in my heart. He was not as rebellious and unruly as I had imagined. The feminine character and blurred eyes are a little outdated in our time, and there is no fascinating color.
In addition, it’s a pity that Steinbeck’s East of Eden, to be honest, it was only when Bill pushed Adam to his mother that I was surprised that it was adapted from "Eden of Eden". The biggest mistake of the movie was to The huge incentive for Bill’s mother to be a prostitute was erased, and one of the most accomplished female businesses in the area was sealed. All of the ethical conflicts all at once faded too much, so it was completely impossible to induce Adam’s collapse. People cannot be convinced.
The first time I watched Dean’s film, I couldn’t help but smile knowingly, because too many late actors have the shadow of James Dean. Brad Pide can be said to be a replica of Dean. "Autumn Legend" can also be said to be a reprint of "Heavenly Dream", but with a little masculinity added to the character, or it is more like "Love in the River". And James Dean's slightly dull expression and pace, you can find it in the kung fu superstar Bruce Lee, who makes people want to laugh, so no matter what kind of aesthetics, the most important thing is to create.
