Robert Duvall, James Franco, Selena Gomez, and Nat Wolff in In Dubious Battle (2016)

In the California apple country, nine hundred migratory workers rise up against the landowners after getting paid a faction of the wages they were promised. The group takes on a life of its own -- stronger than its individual members and more frightening. Led by the doomed Jim Nolan, the strike is founded on his tragic idealism -- on the "courage never to submit or yield."

Citas
[last lines]
Mac: [narrating] People think they want wealth or power, but that ain't it. People just wanna know their lives matter. That *they* matter. Having some control over your own life, that's worth fighting for, no matter the cost.

Surprisingly engaging

This film tells the story of a group of workers in an Apple farm in the early 1900's in the United States of America, who demand improved pay and working conditions. As they rise up against exploitation by the farm owner, they pay begin to pay a price they cannot imagine.

I had low expectations when I began watching it, as I have not enjoyed many films directed by James Franco. However, the story of "In Dubious Battle" is unexpectedly engaging, proving my preconceptions wrong. Neither side will budge from their positions, leading to an escalation of clash, ultimately leading to violence and death. It indeed is a dubious battle for both sides, as morality is eroded by desperation, greed and many other factors. It is also captivating to see how the roles of Vincent D'Onofrio and Nat Wolff change throughout the film. I find this film captivating, engaging and thought provoking.
