This was the story of my family! My family came from Oklahoma and Arkansas. The men, women and children worked the fields. I can remember the Sheriff pulling into the driveway behind my Uncle beating him up and hauling him off! My Grandmother said, “Someday that Sheriff is going to kill my boy!” And he did! I was watching TV and my Uncle’s house was in the news. I called my Mom, she never was the same! She died not to long after that I was eleven! All Steinbeck’s books are great!
So Im currently reading this book, about 3/4 through, and I would highly encourage everyone to read it. Its a little slow tempo at the start, and very sad, but a great piece of work.
Every politician in DC should be required to watch this movie before taking office, then they would know what people that have to work for a living go through
I never knew Kenneth Starr was reviewing moivies????
What a ridiculous comment. It’s like comparing how many people read nowadays Dan Brown’s Da Vinci code as compared to Shakespeare or Steinbeck himself and say Dan Brown is a much better writer, one who has surpassed old classic writers… what a fool!!!
I Like This Movie A Lot….
My Top 7 of the best movie all time:
1. The Godfather
2. The Godfather Part II
3. Schindler’s List
4. Goodfellas
5. The Apartment
6. Wild Bunch
7. The Grapes of Wrath
Top 10 on my list. One of the few movies that I keep going back to. The feeling of the time can’t be recreated with CGI.
haha…you guys make me laugh.
Hey look he’s confirming my douche bag comment, what a fool…
hey look he is trying to justify exacly how he really is a big kid. how nice.
See what I mean now you just sound stupid…
A five year old couldn’t type with no grammatical errors or make over 300 videos. Then download all of them and combine it into 1 music video. Like I said you’re making yourself seem like a douche right now but please continue if you want…
Wow. I am arguing with a 5 year old.
One example Remember The Titans, everyone I know has seen that…How many people have seen The Grapes of Wrath since it’s SOOOOOO Great. Almost no one, also if they were SOOOO good. Why do we have re-makes of so many movies. So please SHUT UP and stop trying to sound arrogant and smart it just makes you look like an ass
Sorry that was my brother. First off STFU you’re an idiot check my account and look at my subs then tell me it’s nothing RETARD. Lastly if those movies you speak of were so great acting wouldn’t have become what it is today people would revert to watching old ass movies like these and not the new ones. And don’t say Old Movies don’t do well because i can name 8 that almost everyone has seen and are still being watched today from when I was a child.
exacly. state your opinion in wrestling and nothing else. even though wrestling falls into the category of “nothing”.
eat dick honkey
haha, acting has been going on for centuries you fool. And if you knew anything you would know that movies today are principally commercial, which means they appeal to philistines like you.
Most of the loans that were made were subprime loans, and the lenders were told to “steer” people toward the subprime even though they were eligible for non sub prime. Minorities were purposely steered toward these loans.
The reason I am is debt is my own fault.
People buying houses they can’t afford in the first place. Companies wanting hand outs. To lose your job and can’t pay is one thing but to buy something you knew you shouldn’t or couldn’t is another. My house is worth 52,000 or maybe less. People need to take responiblity for their actions. If you haven’t learn that buying things on credit is wrong, I am glad to tell you. Borrowing money digs a hole that is difficult to climb out of
almost as good as the novel, in fact it’s the novel come to life without the inter-chapter commentary Steinbeck introduced
Uh, that’s in your opinion which is a stupid one at that how is a craft that had just started back then better then it is now. When you have guys like Denzel Washington Will Smith and Tom Cruise who play their roles so well you believe they are those characters
Because the acting back then was a lot better than the acting today.
How am I a fool?
