I am reading that the film "Grapes of Wrath" will be re made.
It’s a Dreamworks/Spielberg plan.
I am so heartily sick to death of the Hollywood smarmy and criminally skewed interpretation of American life and American history.
I don’t even want to think of the Liberal orgy of ‘I hate America’ this will be. All the while they are cashing in and living like royalty for ritually subverting the historical facts.
Capitalism works… the inevitable boom and bust cycles are what hard working people save for and the reason that credit should always be avoided like poison.
However, the entitlement mentality of generation after generation of Americans is by now a perfectly fertile ground for Spielberg to work is mediocre and mundane skill as a film maker.
Re hashing all the familiar socialist ideologies and serving them up for the idiots who couldn’t/wouldn’t read a book if their lives depended on it, is how he makes a living.
These films ought to be boycotted by every serf respecting Conservative.
Just for the record, I was a child when I saw the film and Henry Fonda has nauseated me ever since.
Solution...if they remake it, boycott it, just like we do all of the socially re-engineered remakes out of commiewood.
Will it have any relevance in 2013 the way it did in the Dust Bowl?
Talk about hubris! Hanoi Jane is liable to go kick Spielberg in the nads for wrecking her father’s best work.
I’m just positive....positive......that the young people of America will swarm to see a movie about white people moving in the 1930s. Speilberg’s arteries must be hardening.
I heard they are remaking the Godfather as well with Leonardo DiCaprio as Don Corleone.
Just kidding, well....maybe not. With all these remakes it’s just a matter of time isn’t it?
I didn’t like the first one that much.
It’s an awful book...read it in high school, thought it was communist propaganda then...still do so today. The movie is a cartoon of the book...ALL the poor people are lionized...everybody else is shown as part of the problem.
That Hollywood is going back to this...speaks volumes about why their movies have so little interest for the great majority.
They just don’t get it.
“Will it have any relevance in 2013 the way it did in the Dust Bowl?”
You can bet your sweet a$# Spielberg will make sure it does . ..in SPADES!
He will make absolutely SURE that everyone walking out of the film will have a renewed (or brand new, as the case may be) hatred for Conservatism and Capitalism. BANK ON IT!
When I saw the film at a young age and being pre-politically conscience, I was disturbed most by government man wearing white, IIRC. He represented Saint Sam and not Uncle Sam.
I don’t get it either.
Will never happen. Coppola and Spielberg are buds and to add, both protect their own work. It’s just what we call in Hollywood development as “bullsh*t breakfast”.
They like to remake old movies so they can insert sex and lots of f-bombs, even though that word was rarely used by decent people.
They ‘get it’ alright.
They are ONLY interested in $$$$
Facts, taste, originality and everything else have gone by the way.

I had to read the book in school and it was the most boring book ever!
SCTV had a funny parody about it called Grapes of Mud I recall though.
Spielberg thinks he’s John Ford. He needs to think harder.
How challenging is that? The audience of American movie goers is by now completely sold on Communism and ‘I Hate America’!
That's what I meant when I said Spielberg is a mediocre talent.
How tough is it to articulate and present an idea to idiots who are preconditioned to be wholly inimical to Capitalism and Conservatism AND who can barely make a sentence with a subject and predicate?
Spielberg must laugh his ass off every time he cashes a check!
He's barely Joe Isuzu.
