Movie Reviews of Of Mice & Men
Movie Review: Mice and Men - perfectly played by John Malkovich
Summary: 5 Stars
On of the most famous novels by John Steinbeck, ? Of Mice and Men" has also been made into a film, directed by Gary Sinise and written by Horton Foote. The main idea of this novel, the friendship between George and Lennie, has been worked up very good. Every time George tells Lennie about their plan to have a own little house with a garden and of course rabbits, there is a background soundtrack witch sounds a bit too romantic, but all in all the songs in the film are well selected. But also the other roles are well setted and the scenes on the fields show how life was in that periode of time the novel plays. We tend to smile when we see Lennie acting as a big baby and the type of man Lennie seems to be, is perfectly played by John Malkovich. George is Lennies protector, having promised Lennie's aunt he would take of him after she died. Lennie and George, they have got a dream and they keep each other alive for awhile, but in the end as Lennie gets into big trouble once again, George doesn't see a different way...
Movie Review: Of Mice and Men
Summary: 5 Stars
'Of Mice and Men' is a wonderful adaptation of Steinbecks novel starring, produced by and directed by Gary Sinise. Both Sinise and Malkovich turn out stellar performances and you are almost immediately engrossed in the story. I was SO thankful that this stayed faithful to the novel and wasn't ruined by the typical 'Hollywood' treatment, the power of the book stands up on it's own two feet without any additional tinkering! The locations were wonderful and that, coupled with the costumes, drew me in to the era being portrayed. Having read the book I was aware of the ending and yet it was still powerful and moving, a sign of a top film. I even found myself making links I hadn't previously considered as I watched this for the first time. Sinise has pulled off a masterly adaptation of the book and this comes highly recommended indeed. Well worth a viewing if you're studying this for school or not.

Movie Review: Of Mice And Men
Summary: 5 Stars
This great John Steinbeck novel was recreated for the big screen wonderfully by director Gary Sinise. Sinise stars in the movie as well, portraying the character George. George is the smaller caretaker of Lenny who is depicted by John Malkovich. Malkovich does a magnificent job in illustrating Lenny, who is large and strong, but mentally-challenged. The two travel together, finding jobs at ranches across California. A rancher is a lonesome job, but the two have hope in buying their own place one day. This hope is what keeps the two persevering. The movie recreates the events in the book exactly. From the scenery of the desolate southern California plains, to the bunk houses of the ranch, Sinise portrays them just as you pictured them when reading the book. Even the expressions of the characters are perfectly done by every actor in the movie. If there ever was a perfect portrayal of a novel, Gary Sinise's Of Mice and Men is it.Movie Review: The Best Adaptation of Steinbeck's Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Horton Foote's 1992 adaptation of Steinbeck's classic depression-era tale shines brightly with the simply impeccable performances of its leading men, Gary Sinise and John Malkovich.
The story is the classic tale of two hoboes from the Dust Bowl who come to make a new life as ranch hands in California during the 1930s. Gary Sinise plays George, the hardworking and caring custodian of his retarded but herculean cousin Lennie (John Malkovich.) As they come closer to reaching their independence, their dreams are shattered by the seductive advances by a woman (Sherilyn Fenn) whose husband is one the farm's owners (Casey Siemaszko.) Trouble ensues and George must bear the weight of his cousin's failings once again.
A very touching story brought to life by the amazing talents of Sinise and Malkovich. This is truly the best adaptation of Steinbeck's story that I've seen to date.
Movie Review: gary sinse and john malkovich join together again!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
when i watch this movie, i left crying. i couldnt imagine two more perfect actors to play the roles of george milton and lennie small( which his name carries a big irony, b/c he isnt small at all). it was a touching movie and perfect to watch together with good friends, but you must read the book first!!!
john malkovich(lennie small) was adorable in the movie, and made it really funny. he is an excellent actor.
and might i say, gary sinise(george milton) was completly buff and soooooo hot!!!especially with a pitchfork and an undershirt, he showed off his mucsles and u could see his abs!!!i guess it b/c of his rugged cowboy looks that make him real good to look at. Plus, he was only 32yrs old when he filmed it(this is not the only reason i watched the movie...)
it's a really good movie and i recommend it everyone, but i must warn u, u will get sad in the end.
