Just a little piece of a big soul

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 2013)

This film really captures the trials and tribulations of the immigrants during The Great Depression. With the inclusion of the great devastation of the Dust Bowl period, which was happening at the same time. One forcing families off of their land and the other creating economic despair. A no win situation. The long take of the Joed family entering the Transient camp from the actually family's point of view was really intense. You feel as though your right there with them. The best line in the film is in the last ten minutes of the film when Tom Joed says to his mother " A 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" This was the most beautiful part of the film besides the memorizing landscapes.
