“How can you frighten a man whose hunger is not only in his own cramped stomach but in the wretched bellies of his children? You can’t scare him—he has known a fear beyond every other.”
- John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath
I just finished watching The Grapes of Wrath. I didn’t think it was as powerful as the book- probably because it left out some parts- but I still enjoyed watching it. Also, I must say that I thought the beginning was pretty dang spot on with the book, nice.
sidenote: It had been quite a while since I saw a black-and-white film.
