    If you mean "The Grapes of Wrath" Ford's film was made in 1940 so it was far easier to achieve an authentic look than a period film made decades later.

      You dare to compare the two?
      It is a joke!

        I believe it was you who compared the two. I was just commenting on your comparison, which is unfair to begin with.

          That is true but who said Sea was the best film on the great depression?

    Hi,
    my Mom grew up in the Depression. My Grandfather used to talk about it; and when we went to retirement homes to see his friends they would talk about the Good Old Days. What sets Seabiscuit apart is the way it captures the language, attitudes, and mood of the era.
    Clearly, the people in Grapes of Wrath had a very different experience, and just as valid. But I can tell you that nothing I have seen captures that feel the way Seabiscuit does.
