A very long classic

Rating: 8/10 (13 March 2013)

This movie portrays the average life of an American citizen that was dealing with the Dust Bowl. In a constant search for good work, the Joad family is forced to travel away from their home in Oklahoma to the "promised land" of California, where the family hoped that they would be able to find work and make a better life for themselves. I was very pleased with most of the aspects of this movie, except for one major thing; the movie is over two hours long. It's very difficult to keep someone entertained for this long, but this film does a good job at it, thanks to a very interesting storyline and a desire to see whether or not the Joad family does eventually find the "promised land" that they were searching for.
