Excellent film, it's amazing how things have changed so little for the underclasses.
Listen to Woody Guthrie singing The Ballad of Tom Joad and compare it to Bruce Springsteen singing The Ghost of Tom Joad. I'm just about to re-read the book.

With their house and farmland at the mercy of the weather and a greedy banking industry, the Joad family leave the Oklahoma dust bowl and head for California - the land of milk and honey, or so they believe. The harsh travel and living conditions they encounter along the way offer precious little hope. Can the family stay together till journeys end?

5 stars for the book, 4 stars for the film.

It seems that the world has not changed much since the time when Steinebeck first wrote his novel the Grapes of Wrath. The problems of those sharecroppers from Oklahoma in the film are not much different from those of the impoverished peasantry in many parts of our contemporary world. Leaving your native lands in search of better prospects somewhere else,willingly or forcibly,is another theme in the film having validity in the present world. Thus, the film has an universal appeal. In spite of its sombre mood,trials and tribulations of the sharecroppers, the film ends on an optimistic note. The main character of the film,Tom Joad,played superbly by Henry Fonda,breaks himself loose from the miseries for a better world tomorrow.

Not to miss: haunting black and white photography of the film. As a director, this must be one of the best of John Ford.

A thought-provoking film indeed!!

If you like older type movies, you will love this one. The acting us superb, and the film gives a real insight into how many people from the State of Oklahoma had to travel along 'Route 66', all the way to California, to find work and new homes after theirs were taken away from them.
