Movie Reviews of Of Mice & Men
Movie Review: Of Mice & Men
Summary: 5 Stars
I have not read the book, but a couple of years ago, I rented the movie. After watching it, I decided that this is a "must have" for the collection. I watch it every once in awhile and I truely enjoy it each time, just like I did the first time I saw it.
The acting between Malkovich and Sinise is excellent. The scenery is beautiful and such a wonderful story about life and dreams.
The dreams of owning a place of their own, having a garden, tending rabbits and living off of the fat of the land was truely an American dream for many many people of a bygone era.
It remains one of my favorite movies in my collection.
Movie Review: 99.9% follow the book - awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie, directed by Gary Sinese, (and he stars as George) is an excellent testimony to the book written by John Steinbeck. If you are a teacher, this is the perfect movie to show along with the reading of the novella.
Although Curly's Wife is depicted a bit sweeter in the movie than the book, and the beginning starts with "showing" what happened in the town of Weed (it was briefly explained in the book), the movie is 99.9% true to the story.
If you are not a teacher and want to see the movie for your personal interest, the acting is superb. You will not be disappointed!
Great choice!
Movie Review: An Amazing Work
Summary: 5 Stars
I just happened to catch this film on television and was of the mistaken impression that it would be just another version of the same old Steinbeck story, but Malkovich is utterly convincing as Lenny and Gary Sinise is powerfully compelling as George. A wonderful supporting cast and beautiful cinematography. I was even more amazed to discover that this film was directed by Sinise, whose talents are certainly underrated. This version is probably even better than Steinbeck's novel, although it may seem sacreligious to say it. Not to be missed under any circumstances.Movie Review: You will never be bored
Summary: 5 Stars
Of MIce and Men is simple, but still an amazing read. The short amount of pages just adds to the fact that you will never be bored. I loved the fact that you can put your self in the main character's shoes and decide what you would do if you were him.
Of Mice and Men represents friendship and also doing what is right even if it is the hardest thing in the world. Even if it prevents you from getting the thing you want the most in the world which was a house to share with a person. I strongly recommend this book to anyone looking for a meaningful read.
Movie Review: Sensitive human drama!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was the third adaptation, whose Op. 1 was directed by Lewis Milestone in the early thirties The portrait focuses around the value of the friendship and shelter given to a weak mind. Two lonely men who bet for a better life and challenging it, elusive dreamers of a uncertainty future, but as you know the fate will come for them to fade.
Fine performances, specially mention for John Malkovich as the defenseless human being. Sherilyn Penn made a very credible role. Her beauty runs parallel to her talent.
