The film tells the story of a young man who feels that he is neglected and immature, so he looks rebellious on the surface, but in fact he is full of anger and does not know how to communicate with others normally. James Dean's performance in the film is very tense and self-destructive, and this style feels inspired by Marlon Brando in "A Streetcar Named Desire" and Mickey Rourke in "Betta Fish".

Adapted from John Steinbeck's novel, this film is an inversion of the biblical story of two brothers, Cain and Abel killing each other. It has evolved into a deep and powerful family ethics film. The film is extremely detailed about the complex feelings between father and son. Although the rhythm is slow, the plot is rich. The film is also James Dean's blockbuster and famous work. The sentimental and rebellious youth image he performed in the film was popular all over the world in the 1950s, and it is still the spiritual idol of a generation.

[Abra pleads with Adam to reconcile with his son]
Abra: Mr. Trask, it's awful not to be loved. It's the worst thing in the world. Don't ask me - even if you could - how I know that. I just know it. It makes you mean, and violent, and cruel. And that's the way Cal has always felt, Mr. Trask. All his life! Maybe you didn't mean it that way - but it's true. You never gave him your love. You never asked for his. You never asked him for one thing.
