the good earth be a great movie . everybody must see . it be tear jerking and very heart warm . it cater to the enhancement of value formation on perseverance and humility and the love of family . the story can be relate to our life today especially that poverty be at the threshold . the way on how we respond to such problem be very crucial and if a person be not strong enough to face such and he may be leave defenseless and useless . i be very pleased on how the character justify their role even the young actor . their emotion have captivate the audience . the movie may have be do in black and white and but the story be so captivate that you do not want to end . that make it really great . there should be a re make for this very nice movie .
