    70 years later, this movie, like the working class in the world, has never dimmed, and some great feelings just never...

    Unexpectedly, the people of the US imperialists also have such a miserable past, and the reality is as piercing as the bones. At the end, the old lady said: We will not become extinct because we are...

    The film uses a profound and realistic lens to show the scenes of American farmers struggling and resisting on the line of life and death at that time, and the expression of human nature is naturally vivid. The soundtrack "Red River Valley" has a touch of sadness. The film has obvious socialist tendencies, and it exposes social problems with critical realism, which can be called a powerful attack on the evils of capitalism. But the film failed to pass censorship in the Soviet Union that year...

    In those days, the United States had already attached great importance to the spread of crops, unlike today's China, which is still recklessly introducing species. ....

    All I can say is, it's great! The narrative is smooth and impeccable, and several night scenes are beautiful! A lot of composition and big vision also have some ideas. Fordism or Socialism? Or Fordian socialism, disintegration of homeland/tenant/home, migration/employee/community. . . Another level is actually the question of modernity. ....

    The film has obvious socialist tendencies, which can be called a powerful attack on the evils of capitalism. But it is interesting that the film did not pass the censorship in the Soviet Union because the Soviet censors could not understand why the poorest family in the United States owned a truck, they thought it was suspected of glorifying...

    The sensational scenes in Ford's films are always so touching, in contrast to his unruly exterior, and people who are vulnerable like Akira Kurosawa and me are always immersed in them, unable to extricate...

    `

    Tom got into an argument with someone after drinking and committed manslaughter. Because the other party took out the knife first, he was able to be released on parole after four years in prison. On the way home, he met the pastor Jim, but now he has become a homeless man. They drove away because...

    nice

    What Grapes of Wrath describes is that at the time of the economic downturn, small and medium-sized farmers were precarious and bankrupt under the monopoly and mergers of large corporate consortia. Thousands of families suddenly lost their land and were displaced everywhere. At this time, they...

The Grapes of Wrath quotes

  • Tom Joad: That Casy. He might have been a preacher but he seen things clear. He was like a lantern. He helped me to see things clear.

  • Tom Joad: I been thinking about us, too, about our people living like pigs and good rich land layin' fallow. Or maybe one guy with a million acres and a hundred thousand farmers starvin'. And I been wonderin' if all our folks got together and yelled...

    Ma Joad: Oh, Tommy, they'd drag you out and cut you down just like they done to Casy.

    Tom Joad: They'd drag me anyways. Sooner or later they'd get me for one thing if not for another. Until then...

    Ma Joad: Tommy, you're not aimin' to kill nobody.

    Tom Joad: No, Ma, not that. That ain't it. It's just, well as long as I'm an outlaw anyways... maybe I can do somethin'... maybe I can just find out somethin', just scrounge around and maybe find out what it is that's wrong and see if they ain't somethin' that can be done about it. I ain't thought it out all clear, Ma. I can't. I don't know enough.

    Ma Joad: How am I gonna know about ya, Tommy? Why they could kill ya and I'd never know. They could hurt ya. How am I gonna know?

    Tom Joad: Well, maybe it's like Casy says. A fellow ain't got a soul of his own, just little piece of a big soul, the one big soul that belongs to everybody, then...

    Ma Joad: Then what, Tom?

    Tom Joad: Then it don't matter. I'll be all around in the dark - I'll be everywhere. Wherever you can look - wherever there's a fight, so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there. I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad. I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry and they know supper's ready, and when the people are eatin' the stuff they raise and livin' in the houses they build - I'll be there, too.

    Ma Joad: I don't understand it, Tom.

    Tom Joad: Me, neither, Ma, but - just somethin' I been thinkin' about.
