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.
