      grapes of wrath

      The music of the original song "Red River Valley" came from this movie. This music reminded me of my school days. When I hummed this song in those days, I released the sadness of my adolescence, my desire to go home, and my attachment to my family. ;The plot of the movie reminds me of those days in the 1990s, when my hometown was relocated, my younger brother and I rushed home specially. After my mother worshiped our ancestors, we had an incense, a car, a family, and our parents took us with...

      Tom got into an argument with someone after drinking and committed manslaughter. Because the other party took out the knife first, he was able to be released on parole after four years in prison. On the way home, he met the pastor Jim, but now he has become a homeless man.

      The film uses a profound and realistic lens to show the scenes of American farmers struggling and resisting on the line of life and death at that time, and the expression of human nature is naturally vivid. The soundtrack "Red River Valley" has a touch of sadness. The film has obvious socialist tendencies, and it exposes social problems with critical realism, which can be called a powerful attack on the evils of capitalism. But the film failed to pass censorship in the Soviet Union that year...

      All I can say is, it's great! The narrative is smooth and impeccable, and several night scenes are beautiful! A lot of composition and big vision also have some ideas. Fordism or Socialism? Or Fordian socialism, disintegration of homeland/tenant/home, migration/employee/community. . . Another level is actually the question of modernity. ....

State commercial organizations would obstruct them from filming in the state. The company blocked all relevant...

    • Tom Joad: If there was a law, they was workin' with maybe we could take it, but it ain't the law. They're workin' away our spirits, tryin' to make us cringe and crawl, takin' away our decency.

    • Casy: Tom, you gotta learn like I'm learnin'. I don't know it right yet myself. That's why I can't ever be a preacher again. Preachers gotta know. I don't know. I gotta ask.

    • 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.
