This film started out in the Dust Bowl and is the story of a farmer and his family looking for work and a new home. Due to drought, depression and a changing society, they were forced to leave their last home.
This film was most popular "left Leaning" movie of the pre WWII Hollywood.
The style that this movie was filmed in seemed close to a documentary, showing the "True Life" of rural mid west farmers at the time. Another thing I noticed, (if it wasn't the screen we were watching it on) was the lighting. the lighting of the movie seems very low as if it was candle lit. This added an amount of realism to the film, and really set the mood in this harsh time film.
In my own opinion it wasn't a bad film, but one that felt way to long. After a while it felt like it was never ending and it made it hard to really pay attention to what was going on.
