Hello...I am 70+ years on this Planet we call Home. I watched and more important listened as this Movie played on this Sunday afternoon in this tiny Beloved 2 room Bunkhouse ..I call my Home. It showed all the emotions of mankind regardless of gender, race or religion in a most profound way... during a very hard time in America's History book. I feel privileged to have seen it today with all the turmoil going on in Our Great Nation. Above all else ...it is a testimony to the facts that Love and Kindness and Humility can help each of us everyday to overcome whatever little or big challenge we may face as a solitary person or as a Nation under God. Thank You for allowing me to express my opinion about this Film.

I just finished watching this Film. Message from one of the Space odyssey Movies...either 2010 or 2001.. " All these worlds are your's EXCEPT Europa- attempt no landing:..." I hand wrote the message and then typed it and it has been hanging on the front of my refrigerator since 2008 when I last saw the Movie, so naturally I wanted to watch this Movie Europa Report* Not a child...by any means...it's been 71+ years since I first opened my eyes*

Oh my Goodness*** What an Enchanting Film!! I had never seen this Film until this Morning*. As I watch and enjoy...I can't help but give full credit to the Cinematographers and the makers of the Sets and the Costumes!! The perfect lighting on each actor and actress faces and the exquisite settings is as amazing as it is Magical*. You will not find this in the Films of today, even with the computer imaging available. Thank You TCM...for another Magical moment*

Good Morning* I just watched...The Good Earth...and took many notes during the Film. What a Wonderful way to start this Day...March 5th of 2022. The symbolism of ..."the Pearls" and "the Land" throughout the story... was so enchanting and full of life's mysteries...as we humans live side by side with Nature. His words at the end " O'lan...you are the Earth*" will forever be in my Heart... Better late ...than never to be Thankful. The sacrifices this woman made in her lifetime... assures me... that what will be...will be* and it is as it should be* for each of us. I am privileged to share this new day and everything I hold near and dear... with my Family and Friends and neighbors*

I just watched this film of 1961...I myself am 70+ years of age , born in 1950. I absolutely came to my own conclusions as I watched. It brought about many childhood memories of children* who I also knew personally to be quite cruel. I personally - think this was the main theme of the Film...gossip is and always will be gossip..either by children or adults. Some of the persons picked to critique the film at the end of the film... were way off in my opinion. But each to his own. I had a steady boyfriend in high school, later married twice and have a grown son from one of the marriages. The ending of the film was in my mind...quite different from from the critiques. I saw the young lady who took her life...desperately wanting her friend, that she had confessed her love to, as making the ultimate sacrifice of herself so her friend, that she so dearly loved,could carry on her life..as she realized that her friend did not have the same deep feelings for her. Not so terribly different from many heterosexual relationships in the 60s or even today. Seems the critics were trying to handle it gently because of today's societal acceptance of gay relationships. Perhaps - too many people now a days..try and please everyone...by over thinking something. After all...it was a film made during the 60s* Thank You for allowing me to post my opinion.

I first saw this Movie in the company of my Dad* We both enjoyed it very much. I am from the Midwest..Illinois area, and moved to Moses Lake,Washington in 2011. I have often wondered what it was like for the first settlers to come across America to pursue their dreams of living on or near the Pacific Coast. This Movie gave me a pretty good idea of the many hardships faced by young and old alike. I would suggest watching this Film...for a bit of History*

At this time in America's History.... or for that case.. anytime in America's History... this is such an emotional film* My tears shed at the end.. were tears of sadness for all people whose lives have been affected by Racism... ignorance and pride* of any sort. What a compelling story*

Good Morning* I am at this very minute watching Shirley Temple portraying- Kathleen* in the Movie* (1941) This is so very witty and entertaining* I have never seen a Film of Shirley Temple's that featured her as anything but a young child... she is excellent at the age she portrayed in this Film also* Thank You Turner Classic Movies...for bringing a Smile to my face.. once again* Merry Christmas..to each of You ...and Yours*

I woke up shortly before 1 am on Monday February 15th, 2021. It was supposed to be snowing here this morning and so I got up like a child expecting the excitement of Christmas morning...and looked out my Bunkhouse window to see the snow. Well...yes it had snowed and I was totally awake and started looking through the remote guide to see what was on TV at this time of the day. I came upon this Enchanting* Movie of kindness and humility. I have read many of the "Official Reviews" and let me tell you from where I sit and observe Life at it's best and not so best moments...those reviews are way off. It depends on who you are and what Life itself... means to you to watch this film with an open mind and heart. I personally was apparently ..."meant" to see this film at this very time in my Life. No...I'm not suicidal and frankly my organs would not be fit for anyone to receive...I am 70+ years and a Grandma. I just wanted to share my experience ...having watched this Wonderful Film. Thank you for the opportunity to express my emotions.

How an ordinary American...Husband...Father...clean cut American working man...can be twisted by ideology and the media to eventually become a monster. Could certainly apply to Society in America now. I rate this film a 5 star* Bogart was " an actor...acting as a man acting out"
