a movie only mice would like.

Watching Of Mice and Men is like watching your grandmother take a bath. This could be the worst movie that I have ever had to endure. First off the movie is Gary Sinise recreation of the short novel about two friends who work on a ranch in order to save up enough money to buy their own house, and the troubling events that unfold while they work. Other than quoting exact works and lines out of the book the similarities run dry. For a short story of only 6 chapters you would think that they would be able to fit almost everything into the movie, but this is a lie. They change the symbolic characteristics of many characters and cut out very important events. The worst mistake that they could have made was Lennie (John Malkovich). In the movie they portray Lennie to be severely handicapped, when in the novel he is just dumb witted and has a bad memory. This movie lacks the creativity and imagination that would be vital to make any movie great. This movie was made on a low budget and the quality of acting reflects that. The ending of the movie is the most important chapter in the novel, but the movie decided to cut it short. The heartfelt life and death decision that George (Gary Sinise) had to make was too fast and was made without any empathy and remorse.
