Of Mice and Men was a short novel by John Steinbeck which told the story of Lennie Small and George Milton’s fight for survival in a harsh world. They would encounter many challenges along the road which will eventually lead to one of their death’s from the hand of the other.
The actors of the movie played their parts very well. Gary Sinise takes on the role of George Milton, a drifter and ranch hand who takes care of his traveling companion, Lennie Small. Lennie is a strong, friendly, but mentally challenged fellow played by John Malkovich. Other characters from the book in the film are Curley, a brash, mean boxer who is the ranch owner’s son, and Mae, Curley’s unfaithful wife. Crooks, described as a “negro stable buck,” has a crippled back and is treated realistically for the time period. Candy, is an old swamper who befriends the two men, and Slim is a wise and friendly leader. All these actors played their roles exceptionally well, but there were a few flaws.
