Very good John Ford's movie in 1940, under the economic depression, farmers who lived in rural areas were persecuted by landlords and powerful people. They left the place where they were born and became displaced and lost their dignity. Persecution, exploitation and frame-up seem to be outdated now. The left-wing ideology is strong, but it is also very good as a realistic film. There are occasional rays of light in the darkness of corruption. Also very three-dimensional and excellent, worth a look
The Grapes of Wrath quotes
-
Casy: Maybe there ain't no sin and there ain't no virtue, they's just what people does. Some things folks do is nice and some ain't so nice, and that's all any man's got a right to say.

Ma Joad: Well, Pa, a woman can change better'n a man. A man lives sorta - well, in jerks. Baby's born or somebody dies, and that's a jerk. He gets a farm or loses it, and that's a jerk. With a woman, it's all in one flow, like a stream - little eddies and waterfalls - but the river, it goes right on. Woman looks at it thata way.
