One second I was thinking about how cute the old man is, but the next second he died. A little uncomfortable. The movie is very realistic. Since the family moved out of their homeland, they began to experience despair one after another. The old man also fulfilled his last wish and stayed in this homeland. The ugly face of the capitalists is in sharp contrast with the hardships of the displaced people who have been driven over. The poor are not human beings in their eyes, and the Oklahoma people look down on them even more. What country doesn't have a dark time? Record a sentence from a movie. Did you bust you ofjail? -No,they paroled me. -Jailbreak? - No, it's parole. -Suppose he's telling the truth, that fella? -He's telling the truth. The truth for him. He wasn't making it up. -Was the truth for us? -I don't know. -They ain't human. No human being would live the way they do. A human being couldn't stand to be so miserable. -Just don't know any better, I guess. I don't mind telling you, the guy they ought to lock up is the guy that sent them things out. Fella ain't got a soul of his own, just a little piece of a big soul. The one big soul that belongs to everybody. I was though, for a while it looked as though we was beat. Good and beat.

    One day a bulldozer flattened our house and we were kicked out of our home, living a life of wandering, the world was so big but there was nowhere to go, we couldn’t make a living even if we worked, we were kicked around like a ball, we lived Not like a person, let alone dignity. They long for a fair and harmonious world, they need to stand up to defend their right to exist, and they have the desire to fight for happiness. They are the people.

    Light and darkness are two sides of the same body that each other achieves under mutual impetus. Fortunately or unfortunately, the darkness is so dark that tenant farmers feel that "The Grapes of Wrath" has been baptized and calmed in "Green Hills and Green Valley". Because people have been able to rationalize the "unsolvable sin" through the pastor's preaching, this self-consistent reconciliation is just like the male protagonist is granted parole in accordance with the law. The most worthy of reflection in the film is that everyone who has never walked out of this barren land thinks that the male protagonist has gained freedom through illegal means. In fact, he has been blessed by human civilization (moral self-discipline). Return home-temporarily reunite with relatives. Obviously, this civilization is good based on sin and punishment. Sin brings punishment, punishment brings love, love brings progress and a new round of sin. At the end of "Green Hills and Green Valley", we saw the scene of the Trinity slowly rising from the ground. In this dynamic cycle, mankind has walked all the way to today-2020-Unsolved Sins and Impossibility From the perspective of trust, is the "epidemic" that once again caused the Great Depression not a crisis of faith?

  • Tom Joad: [At 1:18:50 into the movie, Tom Joad pulls off the road to change the left front tire. Jane Darwell gets out of the truck and sits on the front bumper. As Tom begins to get under the truck to jack the truck up, he says to Jane,] "Ma, will you get the hell off'a there! It's gonna be heavy enough..." That somehow passed the Board of Review censors.
