arthur miller have always be my favourite playwright and all my son my favourite of all of his play . the film version really impressed me a they be able to make the film come alive in an interesting and new and exciting way . the shot be meaningful and but not pretentious . the acting work of edward g. robinson a the tragic joe keller be inspire . the subtle way his character would speak volume without say a word . mady christian ( kate keller ) have few line but we rarely wonder what be go on in her head . all the performance be well do . but . there be two thing that bother me about the film . the first be noticeable and however forgivable . i find that the delivery by burt lancaster ( who play chris ) sound like he be try to act on stage . he speak the line with pronounced enunciation and flair . he do not overact in any way and but the way he deliver his line felt force and felt like i be watch the performance rather than watch life unfold . the next be a disappointment for me . however and if you have not read the play you wouldn not notice it at all . the end of the play be quite emotional and whenever i read it ( about once a year ) i find that i weep uncontrollably . the film do not have the same emotional affect and however and and although it be still tragic it somehow come across with less impact than the word on the page . i be a filmmaker myself and it have always be my dream to remake all my son once i have garner enough experience to do it right . i hope one day to do it justice .
