Script. The characters some were what i thought they would look but some weren’t like lennie he look bigger than i thought and George looked smaller than i imagined. Overall i liked the movie the only characters i really didn’t like was curly and his wife. His wife i felt bad for because she was stuck on the ranch always in the house and if she went out of the house then it was “oh are you cheating on me or trying to flirt with other men”. I really don’t like curly because right off the bat he was rude and immature to lennie and lennie was just standing there. Although George wasn’t exactly exempt because he would always complain about having to care for lennie becasue lennie wasn’t all their. There were 5 characters that played big parts in the movie.

Candy found curley’s wife and and ran out to find George because he figured that Lennie had done it then they went out and told everybody they went out and geared up their horses and went out to find lennie to kill him for killing curley’s wife. Its a sad ending because lennie he is what people call to strong for their own good. Lennie and George are like Bonnie and Clyde they are just always been together they travel together. When George found lennie he at least let him have a happy ending by telling him how they would live out when they had a little house and farm with rabbits that lennie got to tend before he shot lennie with a luger. In the book it says that after George shot lennie that the group catches up with George but in the movie after he shot lennie it shows a scene where he’s on the train leaving the farm they were currently

The answer is simple, George needs to have someone with him, he needs a friend. But, as the story continues on, it becomes clear that with Lennie at his side, George will never reach his goals.

Although others will say that the book was not their favorite, I say that this is probably my favorite book so far. I loved how Alexandre Dumas (the author) wrote out the revenge plot and how complex it was. For the movie, I watched the 1975 version, and to sum it up in one sentence, it was nothing like the book.…

He often mentions leaving George to go live in a cave because he feels as though he is bothering other people. George has to repeat many times what he has said because Lennie’s brain can not process what he is trying to tell him.…
