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. They drove away because the landlords had modern agricultural machinery and they didn't need them as tenant farmers. Just then there was a flyer saying there was a job in California, so they sold the property and bought a car and set off there. In California, they stopped in a refugee camp. When the job came but a deceived person told everyone that we must let him sign a contract with us or they would severely reduce the salary after recruiting too many people. Then the police came forward and said he was an instigator and wanted to arrest him and that person wanted to run away The police shot him, but Tom got angry and punched the police and ran away. Jim didn't want Tom to get caught during his parole, so he helped Tom find a job for Tom's family, but the daily salary was just enough to cover the living expenses. Tom sneaked at night. When I got out of the station, I met Jim. He was arrested by the police because he was on strike to protest against the employer's lower wages. The police killed Jim and Tom killed the policeman and fled back to the place. I just got another job and the cops came here this time Tom didn't plan to say goodbye to his family Mom asked him what was your plan when he was leaving Tom said I wanted to do something to change it all while I was still a fugitive

It reflects the American spirit and philosophy very well. I don't understand what this movie has to do with grapes?

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 because it glorified capitalism.

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.
