Change trucks to donkey carts, picking grapes instead of harvesting wheat

I always thought "Easy Rider" was the first road movie, but now I understand that as early as 1940, Grape of Wrath had the elements that a road movie should have, broken trucks, traveling west along the highway, and constantly encountering people and things.

Is the director of the Communist Party of America? The leftist color of the film is so strong, the ratio of good, bad, positive, and opposition is like black and white. Ordinary people are kind, even at any gas station grocery store, shop assistants and truck drivers are so humane.
If the film is replaced by Chinese actors, trucks and donkey carts, grape picking is changed to wheat harvesting, and the title is changed to "Angry People", wouldn't it be a main theme film that exposed the darkness of capitalists and the people's consciousness in the early days of my country's liberation?
It was released in the 1940s. In the McCarthy era, hehe~

I admire the trucks in the film very much. They look dilapidated and may fall apart at any time, but they can travel more than a thousand kilometers west without repairs. No wonder Khrushchev refuses to let the Soviet Union. When the film was released, the quality of American trucks was so good, what about the Soviet Union? The abject poor in the United States could even buy a broken car during the Great Depression. What about the people in the Soviet Union who lived in honey?

    The ending must not be the original intention of the author of the original novel. It accommodates the tastes of the audience, likes classical narratives, likes Ford, likes Henry Fonda and his hat
