grapes of wrath

Rating: 7/10 (13 October 2010)

Grapes of Wrath is a story that definitely tells the story of the Depression. Anyone can relate to this movie who have been through the Great Depression or have just had bad luck in their life. As Ma said in the movie though, no matter what they will continue fighting for a good life, which is the entire theme of the movie.
The acting was done very well on every actors part. What was amazing was the photography and lighting in this movie. Though it was in black and white, some how the cinematography of the movie appeared to be so clear. Also, you could notice the use of lighting in this movie. For example, people could tell when it was night time by the darkness in the scene and the light from a candle or a flashlight. The movie did get repetitive since all the family did was move from place to place, but I would expect a story like this from John Steinbeck. Overall, a great movie with great acting and fantastic lighting and picture.
