Product Description

Product Description

This remarkable film version of Steinbeck?s novel was nominated for seven Academy Awards®, including for Best Picture, Actor (Henry Fonda), Film Editing, Sound and Writing. John Ford won the Best Director Oscar® and actress Jane Darwell won Best Actress for her portrayal of Ma Joad, the matriarch of the struggling migrant farmer family. Following a prison term he served for manslaughter, Tom Joad returns to find his family homestead overwhelmed by weather and the greed of the banking industry. With little work potential on the horizon of the Oklahoma dust bowls, the entire family packs up and heads for the promised land ? California. But the arduous trip and harsh living conditions they encounter offer little hope, and family unity proves as daunting a challenge as any other they face.

Amazon.com

Ranking No. 21 on the American Film Institute's list of the 100 greatest American films, this 1940 classic is a bit dated in its noble sentimentality, but it remains a luminous example of Hollywood classicism from the peerless director of mythic Americana, John Ford. Adapted by Nunnally Johnson from John Steinbeck's classic novel, the film tells a simple story about Oklahoma farmers leaving the depression-era dustbowl for the promised land of California, but it's the story's emotional resonance and theme of human perseverance that makes the movie so richly and timelessly rewarding. It's all about the humble Joad family's cross-country trek to escape the economic devastation of their ruined farmland, beginning when Tom Joad (Henry Fonda) returns from a four-year prison term to discover that his family home is empty. He's reunited with his family just as they're setting out for the westbound journey, and thus begins an odyssey of saddening losses and strengthening hopes. As Ma Joad, Oscar-winner Jane Darwell is the embodiment of one of America's greatest social tragedies and the "Okie" spirit of pressing forward against all odds (as she says, "because we're the people"). A documentary-styled production for which Ford and cinematographer Gregg Toland demanded painstaking authenticity, The Grapes of Wrath is much more than a classy, old-fashioned history lesson. With dialogue and scenes that rank among the most moving and memorable ever filmed, it's a classic among classics--simply put, one of the finest films ever made. --Jeff Shannon

"The Grapes Of Wrath" is a timeless classic that delves deep into the hardships faced by families during the Great Depression. Directed by John Ford and based on John Steinbeck's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, this film offers a poignant and gripping portrayal of the American experience during one of its most challenging periods.

From the outset, the film captivates audiences with its compelling narrative and rich character development. The story follows the Joad family as they are forced to leave their drought-ridden farm in Oklahoma and journey to California in search of a better life. Along the way, they encounter numerous obstacles and injustices, highlighting the harsh realities of poverty and economic inequality.

One of the film's greatest strengths is its ability to evoke a strong sense of empathy and compassion for the characters. Through powerful performances and emotive storytelling, viewers are drawn into the struggles and triumphs of the Joad family, experiencing their joys and sorrows as if they were their own.

Moreover, "The Grapes Of Wrath" remains highly relevant today, serving as a poignant reminder of the enduring human spirit in the face of adversity. Its themes of resilience, solidarity, and the pursuit of justice resonate deeply with audiences of all generations, making it a must-watch for anyone seeking insight into the complexities of the human condition.

In conclusion, "The Grapes Of Wrath" is a cinematic masterpiece that continues to stand the test of time. Its compelling narrative, stellar performances, and profound themes make it an essential viewing experience for cinephiles and history enthusiasts alike. I wholeheartedly recommend this film to anyone looking for a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant journey through America's past.

The Grapes of Wrath is a film adaptation of the fictional novel written by John Steinbeck in 1939. The film was directed by John Ford who was considered the most celebrated American film director and featured some of the best actors of its time like Henry Fonda and Jane Darwell to name a few. In the movie, we meet the protagonist Tom Joad when he is coming home after serving a four-year prison sentence for murder. In this incredibly sober and beautifully crafted film, we are plunged into a poor farming family's struggles during the Great Depression of 1929 -1939 and the Dust Bowl. As we follow Tom along, he meets Jim Casy, a former preacher that has given up his life of service. Both men then set off for Tom's family farm only to find it deserted like that of all his neighbors. There both men find Muley Graves who is a fellow farmer and neighbor. He proceeds to explain that all the farmers have been forced off their land by big landowners, and together the tree man set off to Tom's uncles' farm where they find the rest of Tom's family as they are preparing to leave the only home they have known for generations. From this point, the film follows Tom, his family, and his friends as they set into a long, arduous and trying quest as they travel from Oklahoma, through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and finally to their destination in California as they search for work.
Analysis of Plot Elements
There are so many powerful and moving plot elements in this movie. Early in the story, you can sense elements of personal conflict. One of the scenes that for me exemplified this personal conflict first in the film is the scene at the beginning of the movie when Tom, Jim, and Muley are hiding from the superintendent. The animosity, frustration, and fear are for the superintendent, and vice versa is palpable, and it saturates the scene. But the story centers in the age-old struggle of man vs. environment as the Joads are driven from their home by hard economic times, the drought and changes to the agricultural landscape in Oklahoma. This struggle is the inciting incident which sets in motion the family's travel from Oklahoma to California and sets off our elements of progressive complication, crisis, climax and resolution in this storyline. The progressive difficulty occurs as a series of events unfold as it becomes clear that grandpa Joad is in decline and MA takes the leadership role of the family. It continues through a series of ups and downs throughout their trip as they pass through different states. Some examples that were very powerful to me while watching this film were the dead of grandpa Joad early on in their trip & the scene at the truck stop. The movie clearly depicted the values of life/dead & hate/compassion beautifully. The Grapes of Wrath movie continues as the family arrives at Hooverville to discover appalling migrant conditions. This is followed by Tom and Casy's fight with the policy and Casy's arrest. Then the family is forced to flee and subsequently arrive at Weedpatch camp, but immediately unknown to Tom and his family there is tension between the workers as the people who run the field barely pay enough for people to eat. Things come to a head when Tom unknowingly discovers a group of strikers lead by none other than his friend Casy who was released from Jail. Then we enter the climax when Casy is killed when he was stroked by the police officers, and Tom kills a police officer in return.
The creative elements
The characters are represented in a very human and raw way. The actors' performances were truly stunning. One of the scenes that touched me deeply was when Ma Joad was destroying her pictures and packing on their last night in Oklahoma. Her eyes said it all. Mrs. Darwell was an outstanding actress. Grandpa Joad's performance also added so much emotion to the scene on the family's last day in Oklahoma as he fought and had had to be consoled and put in the truck as a child. Concerning the cinematography, for its time, even though the movie is in black and white, it is surprisingly crisp looking, and you are able to distinguish the scenes well enough.
I usually do not enjoy black and white films. But this film has converted me. I truly enjoyed how the themes of individuals vs. community, meekness vs. wrath and selfishness vs. kindness were portrayed. This movie is in my opinion timeless. It truly represented the struggles of the poor and their desire for their basic needs like food, shelter, and safety to be met. I think that this movie is very sobering in an age of consumerism in which many people just want the latest gadget irrespective of consequences. In conclusion, I would recommend it as a sobering, enjoyable departure of modern Hollywood.

Arrivato con una settimana e mezzo di anticipo sulla data concordata, perfettamente sigillato e curato in ogni dettaglio. Confermo che la versione tedesca del blu-ray, anche se non riportato da alcuna parte, è provvisto della traccia con il doppiaggio italiano in dts mono. Questo capolavoro premio Oscar di John Ford (sul quale è superfluo soffermarsi), è presentato in doppia versione: una anche con una introduzione esplicativa.

Au-delà du témoignage de l’extraordinaire courage d’un producteur d’Hollywood qui se met en tête d’adapter un roman d’un auteur aussi sulfureux et aux antipodes de la-pensée WASP que Steinbeck, d’adapter un drame de la condition ouvrière, à une époque où Hoover est le président paranoïaque du FBI, un producteur qui s’attache les services d’un John Ford honni et d’un acteur hors contrat comme Henri Fonda.

C’est d’abord un film qui a l’immense mérite de pouvoir être rangé sur l’étagère des chefs-d’œuvre de la filmographie mondiale de ces 80 dernières années.

Ce film est aussi à mettre en perspective avec les événements des années 30, la période de grande dépression des suites de 1929 et le "dust bowl", ce bassin de poussière à cheval sur l’Oklahoma, le Kansas et le Texas.
La catastrophe écologique a plusieurs causes humaines : l’augmentation du productivisme pour maintenir les profits que la crise met à mal, l’utilisation d’une mécanisation à outrance, provoquant une érosion des sols que la période de sécheresse de 1932 va transformer en poussière.

Les métayers ont été les premiers à souffrir de l’appétit des banquiers, les tempêtes de poussière ont fait le reste, des dizaines de milliers de familles ont été poussées à l’exil dans le dénuement le plus total, vers la terre promise de Californie.
Ces familles seront dénommées les Okies, bien que seules 20% d’entre-elles ne vienne réellement de l’Oklahoma, leur afflux dépassant les capacités d’accueil sanitaire et d’emploi de la Californie, les condamnant à une vie misérable et à une considération indigne de la part des locaux.

Le contexte social est parfaitement décrit par le film, l’exploitation de la misère, les grèves, les camps de bidonvilles, la collusion de la police avec les gros intérêts locaux, l’émergence de milices semblables au Ku Klux Klan.
