Review of East of Eden (1955) by Vanessa P — 01 Oct 2013
Although this movie could've been seen as good and filled with great acting in comparison to movies from its time, East of Eden lacked background information to viewers who didn't already know the background given in the book.
East of Eden did however integrate some humor into the typically serious story. A lot of scenes from the movie were arranged differently than they were placed in the book, but it helped the reader's understanding of the boom by giving a visual picture of the events portrayed in the original story.
The characters of East of Eden, the movie, were also slightly exaggerated in comparison to the book. Overall, this movie was helpful for the most part and I would say I liked it. I would have enjoyed it a bit more if it would've been created in present day Hollywood using better actors and better effects.
