Movie Reviews of The Good Earth
Movie Review: The Good Earth
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie as a child and it simply stole my breath away!
This is from the age of great movie making in Hollywood! Black and white makes it even more dynamic!
Considering that the major actors are NOT really Chinese,but made Chinese by clever makeup, it is even more amazing. They make their characters come alive and REAL!
The story of a poor farmer living with his father, the story takes you from his wedding to a slave to his rise as a rich Landlord.
The journey is the thing!
The slave he marries is meek on the outside, but strong inside.
She even goes out DURING LABOR to help save their wheat crop from the coming hailstorm!
And it is done with REALITY although for its time, the special effects are amazing and devestating. A famine comes and they must kill and eat their beloved ox. It is the WOMAN who can only kill their beloved friend so they can survive.
When someone offers pitance for their land, the woman kills her newborn child so they can keep the land and go to the city for a while to survive.
It is the woman who finds a bag of jewels that propels them to a life of riches.
There is a lot of happiness, heartache and truth in this movie.
It will NOT disappoint.
OUTSTANDING performances!!!
