Of Mice and Men FIlm Critique
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 Depressi
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 language, just like the speeches were in the novel. The characters in the movie are almost exactly like their book counterparts. Lennie is very big and bulky, while George is small with a tanned face. In the movie, Lennie is absolutely crazy about rabbits, if not more than in the book. Throughout the movie we see time and time again how much Lennie cares for rabbits, he says numerous times, "An' I get to tend the rabbits!" Whenever he says that you can see the gleam in his eye. Slim is well respected, and he acts and dresses like he is the best without being a showoff. We get this feeling that Curley OWNS his wife and pushes her around. This is evident when we actually see him yelling at her to "go home where she belongs," and "shutup, I wasn't talking to you!" Also, Curley's wife tells George and Lennie outside the barn one night how Curley broke all her records because she would charge ten cents for a dance. Of Mice and Men movie; 1992; Director: Gary Sinise Like most films derived from novels, there are many differences. In the very beginning of the movie we see why George and Lennie are running away. They are running away because Lennie had accidentally harassed a girl b
