FILM REVIEW for Of Mice and Men
Main Actors: - Lennie played by John Malkovich and George played by Gary Sinise.
Basic Storyline: George and Lennie have been run out of their hometown, Weed and are heading to a new ranch for work in Soledad. Here they make many new friends and everything is going normally, however Lennie’s behaviour is still a little odd. He suffers with mental problems and they affect his understanding and communication in life. It eventually leads to a terrible accident which forces him out of the ranch, But what is George going to do?
Both actors portrayed the father/son relationship very well in the film. It is emphasised when Lennie gets into a fight with Curley, the boss’s son; Lennie wouldn’t know how to handle himself in this situation, and follows George’s instructions on retaliation. The close nature of their friendship might have been played out more and this would have made the death of Lennie, at the end a little more realistically sad.
