Steinbeck understood the human struggle more than any other author I've read. Grapes of Wrath is a master piece. If you've never read it, you should but beware you'll cry a great deal.
When this movie and the book first came out people claimed it promoted from socialism to communism to crypto-nazisim(?). It's not about philosophy, it's about people who try to get by in an always changing and uncertain world.
The cretins who see fit to criticize this are Cops, republicans, and klansman on a break from abusing children to abuse this forum instead. You are welcome...stay a while...set them free. You and your entire wheezing, stinking, heathen peasant lineage, are the best arguement for eugenics so far.
If you aren't a Leninist after watching this movie, you haven't got a brain in your head. This story, the book and the film and the facts are that capitalism is vicious and treats man beast and nature as an idle asset to be used/screwed abused turned into cash. The world is full of populations of people being driven off their patch so Mr Big can make a buck.
@IrishLincoln I said 'Leninist'... clearly, you don't understand the difference. Stalin, also claimed to be a communist.. but simply hijacked the whole thing and destroyed it.
@electrasong I clearly understand what Karl Marx wrote and did and I clearly understand what Lenin did. You clearly do not understand history. Marx wrote it and Lenin practiced it. It is communist society ideology underneath the score of a socialst state. You need to learn Russian history! Lenin, Marx, and all socialist/communists are idiots. It is a system that has always failed and always will. Keep dreaming.
@IrishLincoln Marx didn't invent communism and he wasn't only theorist on socialism and communism. You need to learn some Russian history, yourself. And it was hardly communist or socialist. Workers were not in charge of production and they didn't own their means of production. Capitalism in America or elsewhere has NEVER been free market and has always been a statist system of government protection. Capitalist corporations are hierarchical, authoritarian institutions
@ayguey100 Go read about Historical Materialism, economic production social modes and labor divisions in Soviet Russia. Understand what "soviet" means in Russian, learn about the Prussian ideology (Marxist) of imperial economics. After you do all that come and argue that Karl Marx did not invent communism.
@IrishLincoln it gets circular and ironic arguing Marxist Historical Materialism in order to prove or disprove whether or not he invented it. Fact is, critiques of private property and advocacy of common ownership existed before Marx and his Historical Materialism by people who didnt use his methodology. It's only one theory for how to achieve a stateless society with common ownership. As for workers councils, they're only hierarchical when subjugated to state power, destroying worker control.
@ayguey100 It is a great idea in theory, but in reality it will never work. Since greedy human beings are involved along with nationalism and standardized economic markets then it will never and can never work. As long as there have been humans there has been greed as well as the idea of a utopian society. There will always be greed, states, and nation building. It is human nature.
@electrasong Fuck Leninists, and fuck vanguardism. Workers can't be dependent on parties or government to lead them. The capitalist system may be a system of exploitation, but leninism is self-defeating "socialism" and can't lead to a stateless, classless society. And the dictatorship of the proletariat turns out to be nothing more than a dictatorship over the proletariat. Nobody "hijacked" anything, marx, lenin, and stalin were the greatest threat to worker emancipation.
@garfrain i tried to tell you folks. Somethin it took me a year to find out. Took two kids dead. Took my wife dead to show me. But I can't tell none of you. I shoulda knew that :/
By changing the end of the story Ford demoralised it. Steinbeck should of broke the bank on them. Ford should of showed the starving man forced to suck that tit and the baby floating down the river. Fuck Hollywood.
@lolagraceful If you honestly think that that scene would have played even by today's standards, you're nuts. The movie and the book are two seperate things.

@RayWilliamJohansen I don't doubt the amazing achievement, but it is certainly not unique. The ebb and flow of history is certainly one of poor nations rising to the moment. Heraclius of Constantinople inherited an empire that seemed almost certain to collapse and turned the fortunes around, as did Justinian I 300 years before. England in the late 1600's was bankrupt and without a navy yet managed to, within a generation, became the dominant world naval power. All humanity is resilient
The great actress Jane Darwell. Such a wonderful example of the dustbowl type mother during that period. She easily deserved and earned the Oscar for Best Actress for this performance.
Henry Fonda is one of my favorite actors from the classical era because at a time where actors were so over the top and melodramatic, he seemed like a real person. His performances would work if he filmed them today because they are so modern!
This is an amazing book too. It's too bad the incredible, unforgettable ending could never have been filmed during this time because of the codes.

I used to think that too but when i listened to Springsteens version a few times I realised it was far superior. You should try it. Its softer and isnt as harsh as RATM. Im a fan of both artists btw
@Pattonash Yeah, I suppose it depends on how angry you feel when reflecting on the content of the song. I personally like RATM more, though I can't say I'm a springsteen fan, but mostly because I feel more anger than pensive about well... all of this.
This isn't my favorite scene in the film or book. In a way, it comes off less sincere than other parts of the film and book. For me, the best moments are when Tommy's come home and Ma's face is lit with happiness or just after this when she's calling for him and he can't answer back. Or when they prepare to leave and she's burning her letters and little treasures.
Love the movie. Love it lots, but I think this scene could have been better.
@valdivia562 hmm...well, it wasnt exactly sick...but i'll admit, i thought it was pretty weird. the ending of the book is symbolic i think of life and rebirth....and the ending was also based on a true story
Some people might say that John Ford's best film was this The Searchers but I think that they would be mistaken. The Grapes of Wrath is hands down John Ford's best.
John Ford, arguably the greatest American Director filmed John Steinbeck's masterpiece, The Grapes Of Wrath. Henry Fonda's legendary performance
is magnificent, and now seems puzzling that his great best friend James Stewart would win the Oscar for Philadelphia Story over Fonda's performance but sometimes Oscar gets it wrong. Jane Darwell incomparable as Ma Joad did win the Oscar and hurrah for Ms. Darwell for she imbued the film with soul.
Bravo to 20th's Zanuck, Ford, Fonda and Ms Darwell

John Ford, arguably the greatest American Director filmed John Steinbeck's masterpiece, The Grapes Of Wrath. Henry Fonda's legendary performance
is magnificent, and now seems puzzling that his great best friend James Stewart would win the Oscar for Philadelphia Story over Fonda's performance but sometimes Oscar gets it wrong. Jane Darwell incomparable as Ma Joad did win the Oscar and hurrah for Ms. Darwell for she imbued the film with soul.
Bravo to 20th's Zanuck, Ford, Fonda and Ms Darwell
