Honest portrayal of Great Depression.

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2005)

The "Beautiful Mind" team has done it again. An honest, heartwarming and truly inspiring movie that renews my faith in humanity.
Too bad it did not do well at box office but the DVD is well worth the time to view all the extras.
I especially liked the scenes of people in line for work and soup lines. The attention to detail is so real to me. I lived in Detroit at this time and it was just as hard.
Also the movie does not do a "Grapes of Wrath" portrayal of a "dog eat dog" society. Many people tried to help each other and everyone knew what it felt like to struggle.
Hope the younger generation can make the time to realize life was and can be difficult even in America.
