Comparing things is something we do in everyday life. We compare things such as cars to work out which is the best to buy, you can also compare people like who is better for the job might compare subjects to see which one you will enjoy and do well at also in school you .Films ‘Rainman’ and ‘Of Mice and Men’, present many similarities and differences within the core narrative elements such as plot, characters and themes. ‘Rainman’ is a film made in 1988, directed by Barry Levinson and written by Barry Morrow and Ronald Bass. ‘Of Mice and Men’ is a film made in 1992, based on John Steinbeck's novella of the same name. Directed and produced by Gary Sinise.

Rainman included these themes by showing how Charlies and Raymond’s relationship builds over the week they spend together, Charlie had to make a sacrifice when he let the man take him back to the home he was in this was really hard for Charlie as he build a really good friendship with Raymond and wanted him to stay with him. George and Lennie’s friendship was already stable at the start of the film so we were not able to see it develop, but they mentioned how George was taking advantage of Lennie by showing people how he would do as he said. This stoped when George told Lennie to jump in a river Lennie did he could not swim and almost died from then on George said that he would care for Lennie and look after him. George had to make the huge sacrifice to shot Lennie this was a massive sacrifice for George as he lost his best friend and in this time it was rare to stay with one person for a long time as people would move from job to job. I think that the main theme in both texts is education on mental illness it shows that even though people act different then you don’t mean that they don’t have feelings and know what they want. In the time that both of the films were made there was a stigma around disabilities and I think these films were trying to break that stigma and change the way people
