Just a great rewatchable film!!! James dean best performance.
East of Eden shows the complexity of having a parent who doesn’t want to be part of your life, leaving a lasting sense of never truly being wanted. The film also depicts the consequences of parental favoritism, showing negative impact it can have.
Cal Trask feel rejected by both parents and that impacts his relationship with other people. He just wants to feel seen and accepted
East of Eden, truly has many layers
