Excellent film

[cmatt-1 · 5 March 2002]

This was an excellent film, depicting the trials of a family of share croppers in early American development. I especially enjoyed the performances of Mark Harmon and new-comer Ronnie Dee Blair who played the roll of Elijah Parsons. I am Hoping to see more of Mr. Blair in future films.

i didn't think it was that great

prefab of what it may have looked like at that time. wannabe grapes of wrath. for the hard earned money, I'd skip it.

not totally crazy about the white stereotype portrayed in this film. It illustrates a time when only the home kept homosexuals that would go along with a production get casted.

I don't find the characters very attractive either, anything but.

this product wasn't worth very much in terms of syndication or any form of rerun-able material. Cannot play commercials with a product that has very little significance.

I give it a lousy review for a lousy production. time will be better spent watching cartoon network.

Trivia

I was an extra on this film along with several other members of a local community theater company from nearby Gilroy and Morgan Hill. During the parade scene in San Juan Bautista, the driver of the vintage tractor pulling the wagon of farmers was supposed to stop when surrounded by rioters. However, the driver, and owner of the beautifully restored John Deere, didn't seem to understand his roll and kept right on driving past the mark and out of the scene. After a couple of resets, Director Korty finally parked the wagon on it's spot. It should also be noted that there were children on the farmer's wagon in the initial scenes, but when the riot breaks out, the children are no longer present. The director did not want to take a chance on them getting hurt in the "riot."

The night scenes in the tent were actually filmed inside a warehouse.
