Early vision of neoliberalism

Rating: 9/10 (8 January 2007)

This movie is John Fords best work, cinematographically and in every other sense. First of all it shows where capitalism is ending: in the complete misery of most of the people. Besides, and this is new since this film has been made, capitalism will ruin our planet, too.
But, to use a quote of Ma Joad:
"Rich fellas come up an' they die, an' their kids ain't no good an' they die out. But we keep a'comin'. We're the people that live. They can't wipe us out; they can't lick us. We'll go on forever, Pa, 'cause we're the people."
So let us be optimistic that movies like this help us to work for the time when no ruthless capitalist can oppress and abuse anymore human beings, the people of the whole world.
