Imaginarily B Those that are familiar with the labour movements may not find this movie compelling. Those that are unaware of the sacrifices of those that fought unfair labour practices will b3 lost. Labour movements are human rights movements.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/13/23 Full Review Tweety K It's been almost a century since the Great Depression. I'm not sure people understand those times. My mother told me stories of how hard it was. A philosophy of bootstrapping and not complaining was pervasive. A simple directive people were afraid to stray away from, lest they starve. I give James Franco big props for attempting to capture that mindset. I think he did an excellent job with everything in this movie. The attitudes, the clothing, the settings, the language they used. To me it is an important rendering of an important time in American history that is about to slip away from memory. This time literally changed America from the ground up. I also know what it means to pick apples at dawn when it is wet and cold, then roast when the sun comes up. That's how we made our candy money back in the 1960's. But we did it for some spare change. It is difficult work for which those people were paid practically nothing. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I had great expectations, but the whole thing was disappointing Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member L'idea di fondo rappresenta alla perfezione il suo regista e attore James Franco; che quanto mai poliedrico spazia su vari ruoli e continua a cimentarsi in sfide sempre più probanti ed ambiziose, anche se con esiti alterni. Il film si propone di raccontare la storia di uno dei numerosi scioperi del settore agricolo prima delle leggi volte a tutelare le categorie dei lavoratori più esposte. Il lento incedere dello sciopero è ottimamente esposto; le attese, le ansie e le preoccupazioni. Purtroppo ci si sofferma troppo sulla storia di amore platonico tra due dei protagonisti. Visto il cast stellare, ci si poteva comportare diversamente; perchè vedere Duvall, Cranston e Harris relegati a comparse da pochi minuti fa male agli occhi e al cuore. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Great Western. Duvall and Costner are fantastic.
