This movie is strong

Rating: 9/10 (28 February 2009)

This movie is strong, because it accuses simple wrath, and this strength comes from people. At the ending, Ma says "Women are strong, because we accept the situation. We are the people." A man comes to poor farmers in Oklahoma to tell to go out of the land. He says that he got direction from his company; his company got direction from the bank in Tulsa; the banker in Tulsa got direction from the bank headquarters of the East, who makes all decisions to earn money most efficiently. This is the same with what is happening in today's world. Today, the greedy economic animals in the East of America are doing the same, and by their greedy acts the world is going to big depression. Therefore I felt this movie still has a strength that works today.
Though I have not read the book yet, there were some scenes I could not understand well. Kasy was an ex-preacher. He did not know about the economic social problems of the poor and the rich. He is arrested at the camp site to let Tom run away. It seems only few days later when Kasy was in a tent of strikers and he knows the tricks of capitalists. And Tom is deeply moved with Kasy's insight. How come did Kasy get such insight that shortly?
