Of Mice of Men is a whimsical tale about 2 men in the great depression , you may be thinking great a movie based upon a funny,heart throbbing book, but this is where the shy should stray their eyes and avoid the burning of the retinas and the brain.
If you're willing to sit back and allow the movie to fry your brain of anything remotely good in book, and still enjoy , well if you still enjoyed it you either decided not to read the book and saw film or it was a dare with your friends.
The movie may be based on the book , but for how much was actually in the movie you're given what seems to be maybe a page worth of script and a half assed movie.
The movie starts of with George and Lenny escaping from Weeds , because Lenny being portrayed as the big tard that he is had just grabbed some ladies dress , just for the heck of feeling something soft.
They escape and head out for a occupation , they end up taking refuge in a barn full of rough and tough men , this is where things start to get a bit controversial
It really does not make much sense that sometimes Lenny is able to actually bring forth full sentences , but other times can't even bring forth a word.
Beside the many bad things about the movie there were some particularly good things were that movie did show some key scenes , when Slims dog is taking out for it's final minutes, I found this scene relitivialy the same as I would of saw it in the book.
All in all though , the finer details that made the book seemed to be left out , along with the emotion that was felt with each character, the acting was bogie if anything.
The transition from book to movie just needed more planning , it seemed very rushed and made just for the hell of making money.
