After the Soviet Union won the Cold War, a new movie of The Grapes of Wrath was made in the late 21st century. Like nearly every other cultural art work, the film was a boring, unimaginative propaganda piece, extolling the virtues of communism above the evils of capitalism. Annarita Crosetti and Gianfranco Mazzilli saw this version to celebrate the end of finals. Neither enjoyed the film; Annarita preferred the novel.

  • The Grapes Of Wrath is a small multiplayer map in Medal of Honor: Vanguard. It is based on the mission Requiem.
  • 1939 novel by John Steinbeck, made later into a film directed by John Ford and starring Henry Fonda. The film is considered one of Henry Fonda's finest performances, and the book makes a strong political statement (of the social liberal kind) and is pretty much the antithesis of anything by Ayn Rand. The story follows a poor family from Oklahoma hit by the dust bowl that travel all the way to California (losing the grandparents along the way) to find jobs on the orange farms. Sadly, they discover that the work conditions are horrid and farms are overpopulated.
  • The Grapes of Wrath is an American realist novel written by John Steinbeck and published in 1939. As a result, he won the annual National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize for novels and it was cited prominently when he won the Nobel Prize in 1962.

  • The Grapes of Wrath is an American realist novel written by John Steinbeck and published in 1939. As a result, he won the annual National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize for novels and it was cited prominently when he won the Nobel Prize in 1962. Set during the Great Depression, the novel focuses on the Joads, a poor family of tenant farmers driven from their Oklahoma home by drought, economic hardship, and changes in the agricultural industry forcing tenant farmers out of work. Due to their nearly hopeless situation, and in part because they were trapped in the Dust Bowl, the Joads set out for California. Along with thousands of other "Okies", they sought jobs, land, dignity, and a future. The Grapes of Wrath is frequently read in American high school and college literature classes due to its historical context and enduring legacy. A celebrated Hollywood film version, starring Henry Fonda and directed by John Ford, was made in 1940.
