logan stops for a drink when he pulls out the x - men comic that laura was carrying. he notices that the coordinates gabriela has given are from this comic book. this means that there is actually no eden, it was made up by gabriela based on the comic. while eden is not a sanctuary as shown in the comic, it is revealed in the end that the other children have assembled to head there. and the leader rictor is seen talking on a radio with the other side confirming their arrival. so, looks like gabriela has smartly picked the coordinates from a comic to plan the children’s escape. eden is real, but not like it is depicted in the book .

kazanmaintained a high degree of control over east of eden. after the critical and commercial success of on the waterfront (1954), kazan left columbia pictures for warner bros. , who promised him final cut on the film (5). the film waskazan’s first colour film and first film in cinemascope (6). as producer, he was able to control even these facets of production by employing his own colour consultant (john hambleton) and a cinematographer (ted mccord) with no experience and thus no preconceptions about cinemascope (7). this level of control invites an auteur reading of the resulting film. its “baroque visual style”, however, is unusual in kazan’s oeuvre (8). the film’s themes more closely (if clumsily) reveal his character .

to just point out the most obvious issue, the movie details a copious number of murders, several of them committed by the main character herself. this is standard issue for a hollywood film, but in real life, this amounts to mass murder, including the killing of multiple law - enforcement personnel. that' s a major story—if this happened in anything like the way kim said, where' s the massive investigation? why is this being covered in an entertainment review, rather than on the front page ?
“combine this observation with the existence in other parts of africa from 350, 000 to 150, 000 years ago of more archaic populations, then we have to think of africa at this time as a mosaic of hominin populations, a network of gene flow and isolation, from which, in the end, tens of thousands of years later, one form becomes predominant .

in an act of altruism, a mate had lent me a stack of dvds. eden lake happened to be on top of the pile. knowing almost nothing about the film, i stuck it on, although it was hardly the most atmospheric setting for high - octane horror: family members pottering about at will, sunlight streaming through the windows. not, in short, the conditions you’d think a film needs in order to frighten. and yet, it remains one of the most brutally terrifying experiences in my film - watching life .

labelling dangal as “crowd - pleasing” film, mike mccahill writes for the guardian, “as with most of this khan’s crowdpleasers, it’s acutely attuned to wider realities: beyond the mat, the singhs encounter superstition, child brides and institutional slackness, each sidebar reflecting a social struggle. ”
the movie is frustratingly arbitrary in what it shows and what it leaves out. although events are seen from eden’s perspective, we are never given a clear picture of her daily routine. there is no nudity or explicit sex, although eden’s clients — we see only two or three — graphically voice their demands .
eden lake, on the other hand, does not require a doctorate to decode. arriving in 2008, shortly after the happy - slap phenomenon, david cameron’s ill - judged hug - a - hoodie speech and that photo, the fears it plays on appeared on screen exactly as they were doing on the tabloid pages. its reprobates – replete with bmxs, flick - knives and cameraphones – check all the necessary boxes. rather than dealing in allegorical ghosts and ghouls, eden lake plants itself firmly in grim, gritty reality .
well, well. if anyone is wondering
why would she make this up ?
, there' s an answer .
certain images have remained imprinted in my mind since (if you’re ever in the mood for some prolonged scenes of facial mutilation - by - stanley - knife, eden lake’s your film) and when the credits eventually rolled, i felt like i’d been through 12 rounds with mike tyson rather than 90 minutes with michael fassbender .
one can look back on “logan” and pull apart the themes and philosophies of the film, but it’s important to note that it’s a viscerally exciting film to experience. the comparisons to “ children of men ” and classic westerns may lead one to believe that this is overwritten and overly intellectual. nothing is further from the truth. this is a great action movie, first and foremost. the action scenes have purpose and connect so much more powerfully than most superhero films, in which they are often just ways to show off the budget. when “logan” breaks out into action, it feels organic to the plot, moving the themes and characters forward, much like in james cameron ’s “ terminator 2: judgment day, ” another film which this one reflects in its road structure and that of a protector for the next generation (and in another way that i won’t spoil) .

let’s have a look at what happens in the film logan down to the details and explain things out. but let’s take a moment’s pause before that. this is it. this is the last of the movies that will feature hugh jackman playing the role that made him - wolverine. after a 17 year run, it comes down to this film to end the x - men series with the stars who first signed up. of course, you will only see patrick stewart back as professor x and none of the other x - men. the movie is set decades after the end sequence of days of future past (when wolverine wakes up in a universe with everyone alive - jean, scott, etc). the school is gone, the x - men are gone, the movie is set in a time where the world has changed a lot from how we remember the x - men movie universe. so go watch the last of the saga and read further. spoiler alert !
this moral panic is falling apart and reminding me a lot of the satanic panic and false - memory - syndrome panic of the 1990s .
kazan’s use of cinemascope for a family drama was innovative (9). it provides the film with an epic form suitable to the epic themes it attempts to evoke. the mythic qualities the film attempts to portray are analogous to those employed in many of the westerns and historical epics previously shot in cinemascope. east of eden retells the biblical story of cain and abel with cal and aron as their surrogates. as the characters’ names suggest, the film is far from subtle in its biblical allusions. after aron enlists, the town sheriff (burl ives) quotes genesis. he suggests cal go “east ofeden to the city ofnod”. even before this explicit retelling of the cain and abel story, however, cal independently casts himself in the role of cain. when adam asks where aron is, cal responds, “i am not my brother’s keeper” .
other reviewers were not so gracious. samuel f. morse from the hartford courant, labels steinbeck a “moralist” as an insult and denies that the story’s thematic treatment of good and evil has any artistic merit. morse asserts, “ east of eden reveals much more clearly than any of the other novels which have preceded it that john steinbeck is a moralist. he is, in a sense, more moralist than novelist” (sm 18). morse was not alone in his criticism, as others also suggested that steinbeck’s portrayal of good and evil was oversimplified and exaggerated, especially as evil is represented in the odd and despicable character of cathy ames .

another major criticism of east of eden is steinbeck’s intrusive first person narrator, which appears inconsistently throughout the work. in his essay summarizing the critical response to east of eden, scholar richard peterson notes, “most of the attacks on east of eden have focused on the first half of the novel. the structural imbalance between the trask and the hamilton sections, the shifting identity of the ‘i’ narrative voice, the heavy and obvious symbolism, and the unrealistic characterizations, all are prominent in the part of the novel dominated by adam’s journeys and trials” (peterson 77). essentially, some critics have asserted that east of eden would be more successful as two separate novels which deal with the hamilton and trask families respectively .
will pauses by a bedroom but then continues on to the backyard to get the wood. he has a flashback of a children’s birthday party in his mind. from outside, will sees eden enter her bedroom and shove something into a night stand. will returns inside with the wood and then sneaks into eden’s room. he finds a bottle of pills in an unmarked bottle and pockets a few. he looks at the master bathroom and has a flashback to eden and him in the bathtub and their young son walking in to say goodnight .
eden apologizes to ben when they reemerge from the kitchen and offers him a drink, which he says he will never refuse. claire steals will away and they catch up on things. it is mentioned they haven’t seen each other in years. a stranger arrives named pruitt (john carroll lynch) who seems beloved by sadie, eden, and david. gina complains about choi being late; she complains about not having service up there in the hills. david locks them all inside and notices will staring at him as he does. he explains to will that there was a home invasion in the canyon about a month earlier. will suggests david leaves the key in the door in case they need to get out in an emergency. david complies. eden asks will to get some more firewood .

eden lake, on the other hand, is very much in the business of pant - wetting terror. the discomfort begins early on, wastes no time in spiralling hellishly out of control, and, with its conclusion, treats the viewer with steadfast sadism. it was, i realised, a far more effective formula than the wise - cracking fluff i was used to. these psychopathic kids knocked craven’s pasty - faced prank - caller out of the ballpark .
in the living room, everyone is talking about how eden, david, sadie, and pruitt are in a cult called the invitation, which is why they were in mexico. the others are lighthearted about this, teasing them. david tells them it’s a group that comes together to help each other in their grief that now has thousands of members all over. as they inquire more, david says he wants to show them a recruitment video. the video is hosted by a leader who tells them that the human brain has the ability to heal and he has made his life work to rewire traumatic experiences; he says they are not alone and they transcend. it then cuts to a woman in bed, surrounded by the leader and dome members as they assist her in suicide. in the living room, this scene unnerves the non - members. eden tells them the woman was sick and she let her death be filmed to show others that it’s nothing to be afraid of. david tells them that he used to do cocaine to deal with his grief but he has been centered since joining the invitation. eden says that she is finally happy despite the grief she used to feel everyday .
“eden” leaves many details cloudy. we learn late in the film that the babies of the girls who become pregnant are sold. and it is suggested that by the age of 20, when a girl is considered to have outlived her commercial shelf life, she faces execution and burial in the desert. shadowy international connections are referred to. at a certain point, the entire operation considers abruptly relocating to dubai .

critics were both captivated and repelled by east of eden’s themes and steinbeck’s portrayal of violence and aberrant sexuality. one reviewer from the washington post praised the novel and defended steinbeck’s compositional choices by comparing east of eden to beloved classics revered by western literary society: “there will be many who may be affronted by its brutality or who will find steinbeck’s philosophy of life too strong for them. but many of the classical works of fiction, from ‘don quixote’ to fielding’s ‘tom jones, ’ aren’t coherent or artistically graceful” (“‘east of eden’ steinbeck’s best” b6). the same review sums up the novel’s attraction despite noticeable flaws with: “but no one can doubt its merits as the work of a great storyteller. it compels and holds the reader’s fascinated attention from the first chapter to the last” (“‘east of eden’ steinbeck’s best” b6) .

he appears briefly in apocalypse. he’s the man at the underground club who’s helping move around mutants. his power is the ability to sense and track other mutants. sunlight hurts him. it is hinted in the film logan that caliban helped locate many mutants for the mercenary group. the captured mutants were then killed and used for dna splicing. eventually (he grows a conscience), he stops and meets wolverine and decides to help him, to do the right thing. the two of them now keep a low profile and keep the professor safe .
john steinbeck had been envisioning his plan for east of eden well before he began work on it. one of his primary goals for the highly ambitious novel was to tell the story of his maternal family, the hamiltons, for his two sons john and thom. steinbeck firmly believed this novel was his greatest work and that everything he had written before it was merely practice. upon completing his manuscript, he wrote to a friend :

you may call me naïve, but it is deeply upsetting that “eden” is set in the united states and that the organization’s boss, bob gault (beau bridges), is a law - and - order - preaching united states marshal. we imagine this kind of crime flourishing in the shadows of eastern europe and the former soviet union. but in the united states, with a backslapping good old boy running the operation? could it be ?
will ventures into the kitchen to get a glass of water. he has a flashback to a pain - stricken eden trying to kill herself with a knife over the same sink. eden joins him in the kitchen. he asks her why there are bars on the window; she tells him she got it for security from when she was living there alone. she mentions her time in mexico again and tells him she is different and free from pain now. ben interrupts and eden now tells ben that grief and pain are just chemical reactions and they can be changed and expelled from their bodies. ben tells her she sounds like a pamphlet and teases her about her new philosophy. she tries to take this in jest but when he tells her the philosophy sounds crazy, she slaps him hard across the face and exits. ben asks will how he’s been doing, given what he’s gone through. will seems broken and somber still .
now david is the only cult member alive; he is brandishing the butcher knife, calling for eden. will tells david that eden shot herself and david is glad, because she’s with “them” now. kira realizes that the gun is empty. will warns david not to approach because they have a gun but david isn’t worried about his own death because “it’s time. ” he’s stopped short by tommy who has survived the stabbing. tommy wrestles david to the ground, stabbing him in the stomach .
what human dimension there is concerns eden’s ambiguous connection with vaughan (matt o’leary), gault’s bullied, drug - addicted assistant. he is a lost boy, and eden solicits his trust by offering to help him in his various jobs. before long they are de facto partners. he teaches her to drive his van, in which caged girls are ferried back and forth from the storage facility to a makeshift hospital and to bars where they are paraded before mostly white, middle - aged clients .

the film shows the old racial system still taking its toll on all involved. shedrick’s family still grieve over his lynching. mamie baxley’s son says she told him of the rape only once, when near death at the age of 100. no day had passed afterwards, she said, when she did not think of that night. her son wants to escape the memory. one black minister interviewed in the film believes “the best thing is to forgive, and you are releasing yourself from that bitterness that will well up in you. ”
no. and it wasn' t supposed to be, not exactly—griffiths' film was not a documentary. but it did advertise itself as being based on a true story, that of chong kim, a korean - american trafficked into sex slavery in the mid - 1990s .
film is so haphazardly plotted that the action soon resembles a hastily sketched idea that’s been scripted on the fly. that’s certainly true of elena, who at outset is seen getting cozy with slim, and then for absolutely no reason–except that she’s very impressed with his knowledge of island vines and how to tie them together into fishing nets– suddenly shacks up with andreas, this despite the fact that he’s clearly losing his mind. that devolution into insanity is similarly random and unconvincing, peaking with andreas responding to a fellow mate’s food theft by trying to literally tear the food out of the guy’s stomach (via his mouth !), and then going after slim with a knife when he attempts to stop this attack .

but it is deeply upsetting that eden is set in the united states and that the organization' s boss, bob gault (beau bridges), is a law - and - order - preaching united states marshal. we imagine this kind of crime flourishing in the shadows of eastern europe and the former soviet union. but in the united states, with a backslapping good old boy running the operation? could it be ?

anyone who imagines that their problems could be solved just by “getting away from it all” will definitely think twice after seeing this latest collaboration by dayna goldfine and dan geller (ballets russes). indeed, the entire concept of an earthly paradise, a place where one can escape the issues and conflicts inherent in society, is called into question by this sordid tale, which within a few years yielded a far higher mortality rate than even the most dangerous cities .
david asks why will is so suspicious of him  he says will seems distant and off, worried about david locking the door or pruitt moving his car. will apologizes, saying maybe he wasn’t prepared to be at the home he used to live in with eden and their son .

…troubled teenager cal trask in east of eden (1955), the screen adaptation of john steinbeck’s novel. on the set, dean perpetuated his reputation for constantly changing his character interpretation and line readings and for deliberately baiting and challenging his fellow actors, including julie harris, raymond massey, and burl ives. when…
he nonetheless rejected dean’s idol status (22). kazan believed in self - responsibility and thought dean embodied self - pity (23). it is tempting to read east of eden as a film extolling self - pity given abra’s monologue explaining cal’s actions; she says not being loved “makes you feel mean and violent and cruel”. kazan’s story, however, is one in which the hero understands, forgives and accepts his elders. it is thus interesting that abra’s monologue is followed by one in whichcal accepts responsibility for his actions. his father is brought back to consciousness and extols his love only after cal recognises that “a man has a choice” .

the familiarity here is the familiarity of exploitation tropes, which are clustered about so densely and insistently that it' s hard to believe anyone missed them. (...) the film isn' t badly made, as these things go—jamie chung as the lead hyun jae in particular is more talented than the script deserves. but that anyone took this clearly fanciful, clearly derivative fiction for fact is, in retrospect, somewhat shocking. even at the time, some folks saw through it; sex worker mistress matisse tried to convince david schmader at the stranger that the whole thing was bunkum .
as a public speaker, and activist, kim had already told this story many times—here' s her being interviewed for the 2011 book not in my town: exposing and ending human trafficking and sex slavery. she describes how she was kidnapped and trafficked as so:
