Percy vs Goliath, Christopher Walken vs Monsanto.
How that ends is, of course, clear from the outset, and the film is an easy watch to get there—not a millimeter off the straight and narrow, because the American rural audience needs to be able to grasp it too. But the film does leave a big gap, because the original story takes place in the last century, and in the meantime, Monsanto has certainly come out on top. Perhaps not exactly with the GMOs and Roundup-Ready crops, but certainly with the corporate grip on rural America. More profit for a few billionaires, no livelihood left for farmers.
And because of that, the aftertaste is really quite bitter.
