Go with the flow
We can't go back anymore, right?
Life is never a joke with us. If you think it's a joke, it's just because you don't know how to live.

grapes of wrath
When you see this topic, don't be surprised. Like you, I know "Angry Birds" first, and now "Grapes of Angry". However, The Grapes of Wrath is Steinbeck's 1939 work. sweat!
The Great Depression of the 1930s, through the process of the Yoder family moving westward, showed meticulously and...

Before filming, the big producer Zanuck sent an undercover agent to the immigration camp to find out whether John Steinbeck’s description of filth and injustice was exaggerated. As a result, he was surprised to discover that the author had actually written it. . But even so, the Grape of Wrath was still banned by Stalin from being released in the Soviet Union because it showed that even the poorest Americans can own a car! ...It should be said that the latter point is by no means merely a political joke. Even if ideology is completely abandoned, and viewed solely from the perspective of the third world audience in Asia, Africa and Latin America, "the poorest Americans own cars" is enough to constitute an identity alienation that is contrary to the original intention of the film. If you want to make a list of universal themes that Hollywood is not suitable for performance, "poverty" is definitely the first to bear the brunt!

From the play to the tone, it is quite old-fashioned. This may be the inevitable result of being faithful to the spirit of the original work. Without being persistent in achieving an emotional climax in "suffering", Ford used reason to announce early in the morning that this is a game that has nothing to do with good or evil and class. The epic of survival, so in the end, the mother will use her survival experience to dissolve her son's class position. "The lines take the audience away" is indeed a problem, but fortunately, the dramatic tension accumulated before is enough.

Tom Joad: That Casy. He might have been a preacher but he seen things clear. He was like a lantern. He helped me to see things clear.

Tom Joad: I been thinking about us, too, about our people living like pigs and good rich land layin' fallow. Or maybe one guy with a million acres and a hundred thousand farmers starvin'. And I been wonderin' if all our folks got together and yelled...
Ma Joad: Oh, Tommy, they'd drag you out and cut you down just like they done to Casy.
Tom Joad: They'd drag me anyways. Sooner or later they'd get me for one thing if not for another. Until then...
Ma Joad: Tommy, you're not aimin' to kill nobody.
Tom Joad: No, Ma, not that. That ain't it. It's just, well as long as I'm an outlaw anyways... maybe I can do somethin'... maybe I can just find out somethin', just scrounge around and maybe find out what it is that's wrong and see if they ain't somethin' that can be done about it. I ain't thought it out all clear, Ma. I can't. I don't know enough.
Ma Joad: How am I gonna know about ya, Tommy? Why they could kill ya and I'd never know. They could hurt ya. How am I gonna know?
Tom Joad: Well, maybe it's like Casy says. A fellow ain't got a soul of his own, just little piece of a big soul, the one big soul that belongs to everybody, then...
Ma Joad: Then what, Tom?
Tom Joad: Then it don't matter. I'll be all around in the dark - I'll be everywhere. Wherever you can look - wherever there's a fight, so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there. I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad. I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry and they know supper's ready, and when the people are eatin' the stuff they raise and livin' in the houses they build - I'll be there, too.
Ma Joad: I don't understand it, Tom.
Tom Joad: Me, neither, Ma, but - just somethin' I been thinkin' about.
