Review of The Good Earth (1937) by Calvin C — 11 Feb 2014
Watching it now with non-Chinese actors playing Chinese people is a bit silly, but considering the time it was made, it isn't as a big deal. This is a story about appreciating what you have when you have nothing and appreciating what you have when you have everything. Luise Rainer won her second of back-to-back Best Actress Oscars in her emotional and brilliant performance as the humble and faithful wife O-Lan.
