Grapes of Wrath: Review

Rating: 9/10 (10 May 2010)

This film was a great adaptation of a great American novel. It presents a historical overview of life following the Great Depression through the eyes of the common American family. American's from the midwest were struggling for survival against elitist's performing inhumane acts of taking away land from them. These robber barons stole from the poor only to feed their own quest for power. One of the things you get from this film is a depiction of human spirit backed by the power of love, family, and togetherness. After countless failures, the Joad's move on with noble determination to create a new life where they are not slaves to the giant industrial machine.
