Movie Reviews of Bound for Glory

Movie Review: Bound for Glory
Summary: 5 Stars

Affecting film achieves potent immediacy via its vivid recreation of period, thanks to Ashby's keen eye and Haskell Wexler's stunning cinematography. Carradine embodies the everyman engine of America's heartland in his rendering of Guthrie, an ordinary man with an extraordinary gift- the ability to inspire those who have virtually nothing left but hope. Both a triumphant film and an important history lesson, suitable for viewing with older children.

Movie Review: Wonderful Biopic of Woody Guthrie
Summary: 5 Stars

Hal Ashby made a wonderful film about Woody Guthrie. It is still a wonder today. It centers on Woody's wondering lifestyle and his experience with Oakies during the Great Depression. Woody was an Oakie himself. The music Woody wrote came out of his experiences. David Carradine never had a great role to play and was never better. It's too bad he didn't win a Best Picture Oscar. I highly recommend this film.

Movie Review: A Walking Tour of The Depression and Dust Bowl
Summary: 5 Stars

My parents survived the depression and the dustbowl, both of them moving as children with their families across the country at that time. They were spellboundby the acting, the props, and scenery, but most of all by the fantastic music that was played throughout the movie. I learned a lot just watching it with them.

Movie Review: For TEACHERS!
Summary: 5 Stars

If you're a US History teacher who uses Grapes of Wrath to show what it was like during the depression...and English teachers get upset because they show it,too. Here's the movie you SHOULD show....and...it's in color. Far better example of Americana of the 1930s.
