A masterpiece, pure and simple

Rating: Null/10 (7 March 2004)

It's almost too easy to label a movie a masterpiece today, but The Grapes of Wrath deserves that praise in spades. Not only is this film a masterpiece in scoop and visuals but a masterpiece in it's acting as well. I will say that this film is Henry Fonda best, and he holds your heart like no one does, and never lets go for an instant. Jane Darwell is simply perfect as her role as his mother, and her will and determination is the heart and soul of this movie. John Ford has made perhaps one of the greatest movies ever made, and made a timely massage about the faith of the human Sprit. The people and the landscape will move you as the family travels to the promise land in seach of work but find heart break instead.
One of the best movies ever made.
