Great Filming

Rating: 6/10 (20 October 2010)

This movie had a lot of photography aspects to most of the shots. John Ford had started off the movie with what looked like a moving photo album; he made the countryside look beautiful. As the movie starts going, most of the movie is shot in dark and heavy shadows to show the dark times the Joad family was going through. Also, it seemed as if when the lighting had changed to being less dark, the family was going through a happier time in their journey to California.
I had decided to rate this movie lower on a scale up to ten because I just couldn't get into it as much as I tried. I do appreciate the beauty that is in this movie, I just felt like it lasted too long. It just seemed that you could predict that this poor family could never catch a break and find what they needed and wanted. I feel that I may need to watch it again to understand everything a bit better and I would be willing to give this another try.
