Love this film and your brief review, John. Scarily, we're likely only at the beginning of Grapes 2.0. It may get much, much worse. Greed was a big contributor to the collapse a century ago, but this time malice is an equal cause.
I recently watched this film again and what I noticed this time is Tom Joad was a killer just getting out of prison when he joined his family on the road to California. He continued to be a hothead, skipped town so he already was in violation of his parole, and then he killed another man in a rage. He endangers his family, makes terrible decisions but comes out looking like a saint. Any thoughts?
