James Dean's first feature film, and he explodes on to the silver screen. Watching Jimmy in this movie is almost watching part of his life. Living with a father that doesn't understand him, and a mother that is gone from his life. Cal (Dean) is a very complex character. He's very silent and reserved. Sadness and Sorrow reflect in his eyes. He's the outcast and loner. His Brother Aaron is, outgoing speaking person. Raymond Massey, in the role of Adam, is the patiarch of this family. The scene in which Cal tries to give the money he made to his father, is so full of dramatic feeling, that it tears at your very being for Cal, who is trying to just be noticed in his fathers eyes.
Sadly, The year this film came out, Jimmy was no longer with us. But Jimmy, as well as his character Cal lives inside all of us, just wanting to be reconized and loved in everyones eyes. Jimmy, however, with Giant, and Rebel Without A Cause, Jimmy will will be remembered forever.
I give East Of Eden **** out of **** stars.
