The brilliance of James Dean in 'East of Eden'

With my obsession of the era that is the 50s, which provided me knowledge an abundance of films that to my opinion surpass the quality of much of the 'crap' (excuse my language)  that is available to us today. As I slowly encompassed myself in the decade that I dreamed of growing up in.

I found one movie that; to my opinion is one the greatest movies that came out of 1950s. With its strong compelling plot line that always keeps you drawn to the screen and its perfectly suited characters that created a whole new benchmark to acting, made East of Eden a movie that is a must see.

Especially, because this is the movie that help bring and create the legend that is James Dean. His performance in East of Eden is one of the most memorable performances that I have ever witnessed, which to me is on par if not greater than todays academy  award winning actors.

I don't want to keep you all any longer, as I would assume you all would be finding a means of seeing this marvellous movie. I strongly recommend it.

PEACE!
