Of Mice And Men

Overall, I thought the Of Mice and Men movie was fantastic and very well done by
Gary Sinise. Gary Sinise is the director of the movie and also plays the role of
George. This movie was made in 1992, and for a fairly old movie it is very nice.
I feel that the movie is at a much higher level in entertainment than the book
it was derived from. In the movie you can actually see and hear things that you
probably would not catch on to in the book. For example there are the facial
expressions from the talented actors and actresses. The music soundtrack of Of
Mice and Men is very well composed. At the very beginning of the movie, a
spirited mood was set in the audience when we saw Lennie and George running away
from these men who were chasing them. I especially liked how the music is
classical, which is very appealing to all age groups and genders. The music was
a huge part of the movie; it set the mood for the scene the audience was seeing.
The instruments used in the songs were very effective, such as the violin. The
setting in the movie was just as it was described in the book. The time setting
of the story takes place in the 1930s, when there is the Great Depression. It
seems to take place in the southern part of the United States, because of the
increased ethnic tensions we see in the movie. For example there is Crooks, who
is isolated from everyone else because of the color of his skin. Also, the
clothing worn by the actors were very true to the time frame. The audience can
actually feel that they are back in that time period by watching this movie. The
clothing worn by Lennie and George showed that they were not well off, as were
the majority of the population during the Great Depression. In the movie, the
actors were very good. In scenes the audience would get emotional. An example is
when Carlson shoots Candy's old dog, and Candy lies down on the bed and tosses
and turns in pain. In the movie, I actually felt sympathetic for Curley's wife
since she seemed to always be the victim. This is something I had not felt in
the book. Also, the very last scene when George shoots Lennie and then he starts
to cry. In many ways the movie is very similar to the book. Right from the
beginning of the movie you can see that Lennie has a mental illness, and George
is taking care of him like a father. Also, you can tell that George gets
impatient with Lennie numerous times and that he gets frustrated very easily.
The character's speeches were very strong in...
