Excellent movie about the Great Depression, that was created and watched while the Great Depression was still happening. It's a piece of history if nothing else.

It's well made and pretty depressing. Henry Fonda was really good.

Good adaptation of one of my favorite books. To me, it's good but not great, primarily because it waters down the radicalism of the book's political arguments in order (I presume) to appease the censors. Whereas the book locates salvation in the power of collective action, the movie seems to suggest that the promised land is a federal camp and takes great pains to have Tom disavow any "red" talk. I also felt like there was something about the movie that felt very character-specific. That is, the Joads in the book felt allegorical--the family is all families. But here, it felt a bit more like we were watching a character study that was a bit less universal. Still, the power of the narrative comes through and the performances are wonderful across the board.

Interesting from an historical standpoint, but quite boring otherwise. I can understand that this might be worth a higher rating of you’re an American and you looking at the history of your country, but for me? Nope.

A picture of the economic depression of the 1930s

Worth the watch. Still relevant to current times and suffering of workers 80 years later.

Cinema Paco 2 image 3.5/5 Sound 2.5/5. Great movie about the depression of the 30s, with great performances. Very topical for the current abuses of the recruiters with the crisis

I don't understand what the point of this movie was. As far as I was concerned they could have put 'the end' 20, 30, 40 minutes earlier in the movie and it would have made as much sense as a film. Plot was weak, nothing stood out that made it seem worth my time.
