the good earth be perhaps the most boring film i have see in my life . the plot be slow and lack . the acting be borderline comical . while i love paul muni and i can now say i have see a film that do not do his true ability justice . the only save grace i find with this film be it production value . the use of hundred of extra throughout the film create a very believable and interesting environment . also and the beautiful effect use to create the illusion of million of wasp sell easily and be revolutionary at the time . other than the production value i can say little else that be good or entertain about this film .
