“East of Eden” – an adaptation of Steinbeck’s famous novel, a novel about the family drama of a young man who is jealous and suffers, seeing his father gives undeserved preference to his other son – the favorite. And the greater his despair, the more hopeless it is, the stronger his desire to find the forgotten parental love.

Knowledge is limited. Words are futile. The increasing number of paintings viewed is depressing. The feeling is dead, the thrill of a once upon a time. Boredom makes you want to hang yourself. On the right – annoying morality, in front – reason that warns against stupidity, on the left – weak-mindedness. And so we live our lives. cursing the idol who died at such a bad time. ‘Watch East of Eden,’ whispers temptation, ‘one more time, one last time…’. ‘What’s the big deal?” the mind is perplexed. Shattered, tormented by doubts, I slowly shake my head, refusing the previously pleasant offer. We’ve seen it before. And always sad. Going over the words, you can’t find the right ones. When in ‘Giant’ he pours tea to Elizabeth Taylor, in ‘Rebel Without a Cause’ he talks to Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo, and here he lies on the field and smiles at Julie Harris, knowing the future, forgetting that it’s a movie, that you have a screen in front of you, not reality, you constantly want to take the guy out of the frame, to tear him out of the shackles of blind circumstances, to protect him. It doesn’t work, of course. It’s a shame. It’s getting close to zero. Goodbye, Jimmy.

James Franco’s smile in ‘The Howl’ is stunning, reminiscent of James Dean in his movies. Do you remember his first movie? Do you remember how it charmed you, and in particular the unfamiliar handsome actor? Then perhaps you understood what the magic of cinema is, what it means to play, to charm. True, still lacked the ability to express their feelings through speech. I had words, but they were so trite and trite that it was a shame to say them. Ah, this joint scene of Dean and Jo Van Fleet, son and mother: on the road are walking leisurely strangers’ relatives, leading a bizarre, only they understand the dialog. They are enveloped in a fog – how cinematic the image, tactful the editing, precise the direction and subtle the acting, in the aggregate of all factors in such a pattern bewitches the whole movie. Perhaps the adaptation is not accurate, and aesthetics is not everywhere to the place, but the merits outweigh these annoying moments. Admittedly, it’s been a long time since we’ve revisited a movie. We should. A sadistic memory stitches together masterfully different memories: a glimpse of Cheshire Allen Ginsberg photographing a lover in ‘The Howl’, followed by a jolly Cal Stark at the ‘Paradise’ fair. ‘What’s the point?” the mind is perplexed. – ‘What’s your point? Of course, everyone is served by arguments, terms and definitions, criticality and rationalism. Feelings don’t count. Knowledge is limited.

Everything is terribly interesting. So many new acquaintances. You used to know only Meryl Streep, Al Pacino, De Niro and DiCaprio, but now with pleasure you remember new faces, new movies, learn a lot of things curious about the world of cinema. Although sometimes you have to face sad facts. For example, James Dean died at the age of 24 in a car accident. It’s hard for you to imagine such a fate. You’re even less old at this point than your favorite actor was on the day he died. You know so little, but every day something in the world absorbs your greedy attention. There’s so much fascinating variety ahead. In Elia Kazan’s movie, Dean conquered forever, never to forget that frown of expressive eyes, the gait and gestures nervous, the character withdrawn, lonely and at times iridescent in the presence of Julie Harris’ character. It turns out he only had three full-fledged characters, three roles, each of which later became famous. He was posthumously nominated for an ‘Oscar’ but not awarded. What Oscar? I think Streep definitely has one. Why didn’t they give Dean an award? Who won? Ernest Borgnine? We don’t know that one. It doesn’t matter, though. You still love James. That scene with Dean improvising a hug for his stern father was incredibly heartwarming. And the way he spoke to him in the finale, wasn’t that touching? “What’s the big deal? – Something harmful inside wakes up. – ‘You’re just a sentimental wuss, buddy. ‘Well, how… After all… I remembered him. He may not have deserved the accolades and the glory that came down on him, but he… Look at him, mind. Drop your skepticism. James Dean. His smile. His smile.

Summer evening. Parents haven’t come home yet. Alone. Bored. Watching TV. Switching channels. Suddenly we see a guy sitting on the sidewalk, quietly watching a haughty woman walk by. He follows her. A silent scene. Why are we still on this channel? It’s retro. Retro’s always boring. At least it’s not black and white. But we watch while being totally absorbed by the image of a bright son who can’t get a father’s encouragement and a mother’s love. What’s this guy’s name? Damn, I missed the credits. He’s brilliant. His acting is mesmerizing. We’re in love. But my father comes in, and of course we keep quiet about our newfound excitement, wondering how my parents were at a friend’s house, whether the preference game was a success, and so on and so forth. My father tells us something, and we are confused – a train rushes by, a guy on the roof of the train that is unfamiliar and at the same time something close, understandable, pleasant. My father is smarter, he knows so much, he would have been better able to express my emotions. Night comes. It’s restless. We’re going to find out your name, Cal Trask. For real. Well, I’ll see you again, Cal. See you again!

For his stubborn and tenacious character, Luke earned from his fellow inmates the respectful nickname Luke the Cold-Blooded, and with it the hatred of the camp wardens for his desire for freedom and unruly temper. Three escapes, three arrests and three cruel punishments did not break his will to live, he became a hero to the other prisoners, a lone hero, who put himself against the system …

Movies about rebellious loners who disagree, or rather do not want to live by the rules of modern society, were popular long before the release of “Cold Blooded Luke”. Suffice it to recall the sensational films with James Dean and Marlon Brando. But, by far, the most striking and universally recognized picture on this topic was “Cool Hand Luke,” where one of the best roles played by the magnificent Paul Newman. Moreover, most viewers exactly the image of a born rebel Luke associated with the type of the actor himself.

What motivated him that night, when the drunken, Luke “cut off the heads” at the parking meters? We can only guess. Maybe it was his way of settling a long-standing score with someone, or maybe he just wanted to prove himself, to demonstrate his badass temper. One way or another, Luke is sentenced to two years in prison for damaging government property.

But of what he did, our hero, in my opinion, does not regret. The filmmakers initially present him as a “rebel without reason,” who is bored with “living like everyone else,” constrained by dozens of what is called the “social system.” For Luke, the “system” is just someone else’s bad joke, which can easily be laughed at with a savory spit in the face of its creators. Otherwise, how else to perceive the fact that a man went to war (which one we are not told) and served up to the rank of sergeant, lets everything go on its own and leaves the army, as he came, a simple private. It is his unwillingness to be a hero and the denial of any hierarchical order that is the primary basis for understanding Luke’s character.

It must be said that in prison he follows the same path. The inmates immediately notice the cocky temper of the newcomer, always keeping to himself with a proud head held high and a faint smirk on his face. Most of all, this infuriates Dregline (in a terrific performance by the Oscar-winning George Kennedy for this role), the unofficial leader of the prisoners, a formidable big guy who is actually simple and naive as a child. He decides to bring down the main character’s snobbery and show “who’s boss in the house.” But the quickly organized fist fight turns into a mockery of himself. Dregline, vastly superior in weight, pummels the skinny Luke for no reason, but he does not give up, showing his opponent incredible fortitude, when, inferior to the enemy, you can only rely on your own tenacity and strength of spirit.

The next moment, where Luke triumphs at cards without having a single trump card in hand, further proves that this character is able to keep a “good face on a bad game” (“Sometimes nothing can be a good help”). The apotheosis in revealing Luke’s character is the legendary egg-eating scene – Luke agrees to swallow 50 boiled eggs in 60 minutes on a dare. And in doing so, he doesn’t care that there is a risk of death from intestinal congestion – a bet is a bet.

Luke’s equanimity, his incredible boldness, and his ability to lead, are gradually admired by the other inmates, and now Dregline himself recedes into the background – Luke becomes the leader of the convicts. It would seem the ideal situation: authority is earned, the remaining year-plus, serve time and get out – but, no, the hero Newman and there is trouble on his head, and with the news of the death of his mother, and did “go crazy”, deciding on his first prison escape …

To the credit of director Stuart Rosenberg, who has not limited himself to the narrative mechanism, there is room in the film for other no less important issues. In particular, the theme of the penetration of divine wrath into the fate of the protagonist is addressed in a rather curious way. Not shy in expressions, Luke curses the Almighty, calling him a Severe Accident, and asks to inflict his punishment. The answer, of course, is silence, but there is no doubt that God heard him – one of the final scenes proves it (“All we have here is a misunderstanding”).

However, Rosenberg’s primary task, of course, was to show an independent individual striving with all his strength for freedom in all its manifestations, which, it must be admitted, the director has perfectly coped with. The image of Luke is a kind of hymn to the triumph of the indomitable human will, and at the same time a visual demonstration of what, sometimes, this most unrestrained desire for the will can lead to.
