awesome film

Rating: Null/10 (19 February 2010)

The film Grape of Wrath was shot in 1940. It is a film based off the novel by writer John Steinbeck. Right away just from knowing what the film was based off of. I'm a fan of John Stinebeck other works. So naturally I was excited to see this film. The film takes place during the great depression which was a time of hardship with little employment. This is a story of a family and friend's journey from Oklahoma to California in search of work and a new way of life. Watching the film I felt sad, seeing the condition due to the depression. The film gave views great insight to life during the depression, and the hardship faced by the people who had to live and make through it. How the conditions were so bad at this time that this group of people had to leave their homes, for one evening violating parole, to find a place when they could work and survive. I also was sad because of the misfortunes of the group traveling. The grape of wrath is a film that has great actors who play their parts well. They are believable. This is a film of realism. It's done so well that it's not only believable the viewers could see this film as an actual even that occur during that time in history. As far as the quality of the film's production go. It's fantastic. The scenes are admiral. Lighting is perfect. And the cast is exceptional.
