Bound for Glory (Great depression)
It is a dramatic movie that is related to the reality of Woody's life. He was an amazing guy. The movie was actually so depressing because at that time Texas, the town that Woody live, had got so many problem for example the dust storm and unemployment.
People in the Texas were just wishing to move to California for the better life and job. First Woody didn't believe that things would be better if he moved his family to the California. He tried his best for having the great life in Texas.
But things became worsen after Texas was faced to the dust storm. He decided to go to California alone. It was such a terrible time until he got to the California there were so many obstacle because he didn't really have any money to travel there properly.
Fortunately he was an artist. It's just in his blood that he could sing and paint very well. With his Talent he could get a chance to be signed to the record company. First he got the job by meeting one singer that time population were so depressing they really needed the entertaining, so the singer was just raveling around and sing for the unemployed people or any other crowd to entertaining make them relax.
Woody met that single when he came to sing for the unemployed crowd. The singer had discovered Woody's talent then he took Woody to cast and Woody got a job since then.
Woody was becoming famous and richer so that he called his family at Texas to move to live with him.
More Woody worked in the record company more he got tired of the manager because he was forced to sing some songs that he didn't write himself or even rushed him to get the new list of songs.
Woody had such a strong artist blood. He was tough with his boss because Woody didn't like anybody to tell him what to do. He care a lot for his Glory. So he didn't really care about the job anymore. Woody's wife scared of becoming poor again so she tried to ask him about the job and family. They had a big fight one day and later she left Woody because she was just felt unsecure.
Too bad that his wife didn't know Woody was getting a big chance for being a singer in the hotel to sing on the stage for rich people. But anyway Woody didn't like the job and he was just left the cast.
Woody had left a great chance of getting more money and came back to sing on the street encourage unemployed people, poor people and any other people who he could meet on the ground.
Woody's Characteristics
I am telling u how impressive I was when i watched this money. Woody's characteristices were so outstanding then any others in the movie.
- Optimistic: is the first thing I saw in the movie, He kept smiling eventhough he knew there was nothing good really happen to his life at that time.
-Artistic: it was so strong inside Woody's blood. The songs he wrote were just came out from his heart and his soul. He wrote the song very well and it made him famous because he wrote the song that exactly what people at that time felt like and face to.
-Tought: Oh yeah! he was such a tough guy. I like all the words that came out from his mouth. He was not fake at all. He could even be tought with his manager who gave him the job. This is amazing! he didn't really care..lol
-Generousity: I couldn't believe that he gave away his 50 dollar to the guy who he took his car with. He gave 50 dollar to that guy because the guy drove with 2 young kids and when they arrived to the boarder of California people had to pay 50 dollar to get into the place.
-Flirty: this is the only big thing i don't like about him because he slept with 2 ladies whom were not his wife on the way to Califoria. First lady he met on the way and the second one he met at the Lady Aid Associate. It was still good of him that he told the truth that he had wife and children..lol
* We are all have trouble and hard time. Nobody's trouble is harder than the others tt's just how would we look at the trouble to be look like. If we would just be like Woody, I'm sure there will be the way out someday soon.*_^

Wow, Ms. Tori, an outstanding blog. What can I write that you have not covered.
The only thing I thought was wrong with the movie was that Woody stayed too long in Texas. I figured he should have left a long time ago and start the adventure which I was expecting.
Woody Guthrie is Folk Music in America. Everyone who followed Woody copied his style and did the same songs he did. Some (like Bob Dylan) actually stole the music and used it as their own.
There is the Woody Guthrie Festival in Okeene, Oklahoma every year and it is fun to attend. There are contests for song writers and singers and generally a good old-fashioned get together. I think Dale mentioned this in one of his blogs.
You really did good on this blog and I especially liked the way you organized everything.
Thank you Ajarn Cecil!
