Review of East of Eden (1955) by Vincent G — 16 Apr 2014

Directed by one of the most respected filmmakers in america, East of eden was one of the three movies on James dean's entire career. Dean's performance is so moving,electrifying and powerful that many compared him with another method actor of his time (Marlon brando) and many other called him a copy of brando, Dean was a complete different creature, a phenomenon that lasted around 5 years and vanished forever but that still lives on three superb masterpieces (Rebel without a cause,East of eden and Giant).

East of eden its a brilliant drama about youth rebellion and loss,desiire and conflict, all of the above focus on Dean's character, Cal.
