Of Mice and Men: The Movie

             The indecent in Weed was different from what we had read in the book. It was different from the book because in the movie the indecent was what started the whole movie and inside the book you don't know what happens until later when George is talking to Slim. I think the director chose to do it this way because it could have added more of a back story to George and Lennie. It changes the story because now we didn't need to try imagining the setting as it was displayed inside the movie, so there was more space for the indecent in Weed.

             I think that the directer would start off the movie with George on the train instead of them being at the pond because it shows how their life was back then, moving from job to job. I think it also showed how they where very poor by the way his face was dirty. I this tells us that George has had a very hard time during his life. Taking care of Lennie yet also having to move places to find work must be hard. I feel the director is telling us that maybe George must be very emotionally and physically tired, like he has done so much for Lennie and himself that maybe thats why he wants the little ranch. We can see this in the ending of the movie when George shoots Lennie. It shows how he had done so much for him, and the best way to help Lennie and himself was to let him go. 

             I didn't like the directors choice for Curley's wife. I kind of thought she would be blonde and more like meaner towards the men. She wasn't what I imagined, I thought she would have been a blonde like mean attitude, kind of like Tallulah from the musical we saw Wednesday. I would have put Emma Stone as the role for Curley's wife because from what she looks like in her pictures, she always looks serious and to be honest very scary, or mean. I'm not sure what kind of woman she is like (I'm guessing she is a good person) but if I saw her in the movie I would probably say she would do great as the role of Curley's wife. 

             Overall I thought that Of Mice and Men was a very good book. I liked that it wasn't one of those books where everything in life has a happy ending, because it doesn't. I think that from Of Mice and Men was when George had to shoot Lennie. I say this because It shows what true friendship is. That even though George didn't want to do it, he did it for Lennie because he knew that Lennie was dangerous like when he had killed Curley's wife and he knew it was for his own good. It shows how he put Lennie in front of himself by actually shooting him and not letting them take Lennie to jail as they would of if they had found him. I would recommend this book to my friend Karen because she loves books that have sad endings, (I don't know why that's just her) and I feel like this would get her very emotional just like it did to me.
