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.
To: SMARTY
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.

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.

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.
To: informavoracious
Everything is a platform for grandstanding and perpetuating the Liberal shtick.
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!

If you don't like The Grapes of Wrath but are interested in Dust Bowl-era internal migration and the Okie diaspora, you might like the non-fiction book Rising in the West : The True Story of an "Okie" Family from the Great Depression through the Reagan Years by Dan Morgan (New York: Knopf, 1992). This is a non-fiction work that is a good alternative to Steinbeck's leftist tome.
To: xkaydet65
Spielberg thinks hes John Ford.He's barely Joe Isuzu.
To: SMARTY
I know Steinbeck was a liberal/socialist but still, he could tell a great story.
A splendid writer - East of Eden was my favorite (a diamond among gems).
