I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
I watched this a few weeks ago in my English class, and to be honest, I wasn't expecting much. I thought it was just going to be another generic, low budget adaptation of a classic novel, but actually it was way better than I thought it'd be. The acting was really good and it's very well shot. The cast is perfect, but there is one thing I want to complain about.Some characters are completely over-exaggerated. The best two examples of these are Lennie and Curley's wife. Having read the book, I know Curley's missus is meant to be very flirtatious and stuff, but in the movie she literally tries to get with every single guy she sees. As for Lennie, he's too retarded. From reading the book, I thought he was reasonably normal, just with some learning difficulties, but in the movie his childishness is extremely over the top.Other than that, it's a fantastic adaptation. *cough* Chris Fable *cough* It's not an easy task to adapt an 80-year-old text for a modern-day audience. A job well done!(P.S. I love when George swears Lennie says, "You shouldn't do that, George. It's not clever, George." I laughed so hard I nearly wet myself! xD)Dialogue and Acting: 9/10 Animation: 5/10 Structuring: 10/10 Subtlety and Themes: 9/10 Originality: 8/10Total: 41/50
'Of Mice and Men' is about two guys who had just changed the ranch they worked at because Lennie caused trouble. It's genre is period drama. The main character are Lennie, the big baby, who is played by John Malkovich and George, the small guy, who is played by Gary Sinise. In my opinion the film is successful, because the act was very well done.I think the character that did the best was Lenie, because acting stupid is not an easy thing. The best part of the movie is when Lennie crushes Curley's hand because at first Lennie had to act frightened, what he did well, and then he had to act furious, in which he did again good job. The film starts and ends different from the novel. One particularly successful aspect of the film is that there weren't almost any special effects. The camera was always positioned on the right angle.I think the worst part from the movie was when Curley's wife came at the field where the boys were working and began asking questions about her husbands' hand (Curley). I think the portrayal of Curley's wife was incorrect because in the movie she is not as bad described as in the book. They could have made her look worse like in the book.My overall opinion is that the film is quite good, although there were some parts that were not good. I think the movie can be watched from any age groups. I would give the film 4 stars out of 5.
The movie was good. The movie gave me a better understanding about what the book was about. I liked the story behind it. I liked the story of George and Lennie's friendship, and how they cared for each other, and protected each other. They always cared for each other, no matter what. Also, the actors and actresses did a realistic job at playing their roles. However, I did not like that not everything that was in the film was the same thing that happened in the book. Also, some of the characters were portrayed differently in the book than in the movie. They reacted differently to situations in the movie, than how they did in the book. In my opinion, this was confusing.
I thought the movie was generally the same as the book, and I thought both were great. The casting was pretty good. All of the characters, except for Lennie, were exactly as I pictured them while reading the novel. From the book, I thought Lennie to be much younger than he was in the movie. I liked the book better than the movie mainly due to the end. In the novel, it seemed to me that George killed Lennie after they talked about the house for a little longer, whereas in the movie, the murder of Lennie seemed to be much more abrupt. Although certain parts of the movie didn't match up with the book, I still thought that it deserved an 8/10 since most of the events did match up. I also felt that the movie went into deeper detail than the book did in some of the scenes.
