The Grapes of Wrath

Thanks so much to the Grand management for showing my #1 movie, 'The Grapes of Wrath.' Although I have the DVD (which I watch at least twice a year,) I've always wanted to see it in a theater setting. I never tire of this movie. It gives me strength. I'd never read the book until 2000, when my son checked it out of his HS library for me when I was laid up a bit. If you're a fan of this movie and have never read the book, you're being deprived of a wonderful experience. Some things in the book couldn't be touched on in the movie due to censorship rules at the time. Although they'd be considered very mild today, these scenes are crucial to the Joads' story. The last paragraph of this book moved me like never before or since. Second best feeling I ever had.
