Cooper worked as an actor for ten years in both cinema and television. With the 2009 film Crazy Heart, starring Jeff Bridges and Maggie Gyllenhaal, he transitioned to directing.

What is The Plot of The Pale Blue Eye?

The Pale Blue Eye ___

The movie is based on Louis Bayard’s 2006 book of the same name. The narrative occurs at the Military Academy in West Point, New York. The academy is disturbed and perplexed when a young student is discovered hung and, subsequently, with his heart removed in the winter of 1830. Hence, they decide to engage the aid of Gus Landor, a former police investigator. The two finally create an odd alliance after Landor eventually turns to the academy for help and meets Edgar Allan Poe, a bright young recruit.

The Pale Blue Eye chronicles the author of The Raven’s early years before he rose to fame as one of his generation’s most famous poets. Poe appears to be in his element in this chilling and gory whodunit. The movie is not based on actual events, even though Poe was a US military member and spent seven months at West Point. The sights and language spectators will encounter appear as real as they take place.

The official synopsis via Netflix reads:

1830 at West Point. A cadet is discovered dead in the early hours of a gloomy winter morning. However, sorrow turns to violence when the body is revealed to have had its heart surgically removed at the mortuary. To solve the murder, the leaders of the newly established military institution resort to a local investigator named Augustus Landor (Christian Bale). Landor, hindered by the cadets’ oath of silence, enlists the aid of one of their own to investigate the case: an eccentric cadet called Edgar Allan Poe, who dislikes the demands of the military and has a fondness for poetry (Harry Melling).
