Wow. I did not like this movie. I love the book but not the movie. Lennie (John Malkovich) is a big guy who isn’t smart. He is a slow character. George (Gary Sanise) is a normal guy looking for work. George always brought Lennie around ever since Lennie’s Aunt Clara died. They go from job to job because Lennie always seems to get into trouble. Lennie loves touching soft things. That is his problem and it follows him through out the story. Lennie loves rubbing mice because of their softness and kills them because he doesn’t realize his strength. He doesn’t do it on purpose. Curly (Casey Siemaszko) is the boss’ son and always picks on Lennie because of Lennie’s size. Curly hates guys that are tall because he himself isn’t. Curly’s Wife (Sherilyn Fenn) is some one who wants attention. She usually tries talking, seducing the workers at the farm. Slim (John Terry) is a well respected character at the ranch. He is the one in charge. Curly doesn’t even try to take charge when Slim is around. Candy (Ray Walston) was and old person who worked at the ranch. He was disabled and just there basically to die.
This story takes place after the depression so these characters had it tough looking for jobs. Now that they found one, they try heard to keep it. This film is not as good as the book. Steinbeck (the writer of the book) did a great job creating the characters. In the film the main characters aren’t as close. I believe that that is the most important thing that the movie had to capture. It didn’t.

i strongly disagree with you i feel like it was very while directed and produced . i also feel like the movies actors mashed well together that was great on the directors part. but i guess it depends on the version you watch
ReplyDeletei've seen this movie in class many times. I really do like this movie. It shows at one point people just had dreams that are so simple to us now but it goes to show where everything really started that not everything in life is given to you.
