Great All American Film

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2010)

The film revolves around Tom Joad and his family during the great depression in the dustbowl. Jobs are scarce and in order to find a good one, one needs to search and search hard to find it. The family loses everything and is forced to abandon their home after much dismay. They travel to California in search of jobs as flyers were sent out all over the United States advertising them. To much disappointment upon entering California - the jobs were even scarcer there. Tom has a falling out with the law and the family is forced to pick up and go again - this time without him as it would put his family at risk.
This film was really an amazing film with great photography and beautiful settings. It's a long film but well worth it just to see the great photography, the story is also very interesting at that. This was a film that I honestly did not think I was going to like but much to my surprise it's now a film that I respect and would definitely have to watch again.
