Difference Between Of Mice And Men Movie And Book

One significant difference is when Leonard Mead picks up a dandelion in the film compared to a dead leaf in the book. This is an important difference because the dandelion represents hope and a future, where the dead leaf is quite the opposite and tells us that civilization is dead and their is no chance of bringing it back. This is one key difference and these actions decide how it ends. Another difference is whether Leonard has communication with other humans or not. In the story Leonard has not had any contact in 10 years, but in the book he has a friend he can visit and talk to. In the story they were setting it up for their to be no hope for a future. But in the film his friend will “spread the seed” and bring humanity back to being

The movie, “Of Mice and Men” portrays the harsh life of migrant farm workers in the 1930s. Directed and produced by Gary Sinise, it is a heartwarming movie starring John Malkovich (Lennie), Gary Sinise (George) and more. The movie, based off the popular and once infamous novella Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, talks about the working class in the 1930s when the stock market crashed. Overall, the movie depicts aspects of the lower class realistically, and how the two men, George and Lennie, go on their lives. The setting gives the audience a direct point of view of life in the early 1900s. By watching the movie, the viewers know that the plot is often very troublesome, since the two main characters attract trouble.

For instance, in the book Joppy knew Albright; Albright knew Todd Carter; Todd Carter knew Richard McGee as well as Matthew Terrell whereas in the movie every character denied knowing each other except Albright and Joppy. Another noticeable difference is that in the book Frank Green, Daphne’s brother ends up murdered and in the movie he lives and they both end up moving. The third noticeable difference is a character name change from the book to the movie; Matthew Teran in the book is Matthew Terrell in the movie and he ends up being murdered in the book whereas at the end of the movie he’s running for mayor. A fourth noticeable difference is the pier scene. In the book Albright and Easy meet at the Santa Monica pier and in the movie it is the Malibu pier. And the last most noticeable difference between the book and the movie is that Mouse knows Daphne Monet or shall we call her by her real name Ruby Hanks; however, in the movie the audience never finds that out. In the movie the only true thing you get to know about Daphne is that she is both black and white. Therefore, due to the many differences between the book and the movie it is confusing to the audience since it is almost like dealing with two different stories because of the plot inconsistencies.

Dr. Manette does not have as prominent of a role in the movie as the book, as well as Lorry and Jerry Cruncher.

“So you forgot that awready, did you? I gotta tell you again , do I ? Jesus christ, you're a crazy bastard!” George says (4-5). You can infer that the two characters have some issues with each other. In Of Mice And Men, John Steinbeck shows the weaknesses that most of the characters have and the trials they face with those weaknesses. The characters such as Lennie, Crooks and Candy all have something that happens to them in the story that brings out their weaknesses. John Steinbeck portrays the effects that weak people reveal through the characters Lennie, Crooks and Candy.

When Lennie ends up crushing Curley’s hand. The whole scene is when Curley walks into the bunkhouse looking for his wife. He asks Lennie and Lennie doesn't answer so Curley gets mad and already wants to fight Lennie anyway so he starts punching him in the face and Lennie doesn't fight back till George tells him to. So when george finally does tell him to fight back the next punch that Curley threw Lennie ended up catching and he squeezed so tight on his hand it crushed it.

The classic novel, Of Mice and Men, written by John Steinbeck was made into a Hollywood Blockbuster in 1992. Directed and acted by Gary Sinise and John Malkovich, Hollywood took a stab at trying to recreate this literary success. The novel, which takes place in the 1930’s, follows the lives of two men, George and Lennie, as they try to attain their dream of owning a farm. George is a smart man who always seems to have things figured out. Lennie is massive, but has the mind of a young child. George looks after him, but it is not easy since Lennie always seems to get himself in some kind of trouble. As they struggle towards their dreams, George and Lennie face obstacles that test

After that George and Lennie board a grey hound bus in a town, it is

The movie Of Mice and Men and the novel Of Mice and Men are very different from each other. Starting off with the incident in weed. In the book, the incident doesn’t happen. It just tells us that Lennie and George are already away from weeds. In the movie, it shows the girl in a ripped red dress running and getting help because Lennie “raped” her and it shows dogs and men on horses chasing Lennie and George.

After having read the original version and the more recent film adaptation of John Steinbeck’s majorly successful novel, Of Mice and Men, the apparency of differences between the two is at times subtle while also being very obvious during different portions of the movie. In the film there are several major differences between the movie and the book with three being particularly apparent. We are shown the differences through the portrayals of characters, Lennie’s sanity and, simply, the scenes themselves.

The novel Of mice and Men is an engaging story, and is filled with climatic moments to keep the readers interested. The book does a phenomenal job at individualizing the voices of its characters. The book's description of the characters' makeup helps give the readers a vivid image of their appearance. The movie Of Mice and Men lacked the ability to give the characters a distinct voice. The appearance of the characters was mediocre at best in the movie, whereas the book gave the characters a sense of liveliness. The book was far superior to the movie in many aspects.

The book and the movie are also different in many ways. The book had more detail in some things but the movie has a better way of showing it. One of the ways that it is different is in the movie Scrooge sold corn to the three men at the bank but in the book that never happened at all! Another thing that was different between the movie

I read the Westing game and saw “get a clue” the movie version of that book. I personally think the book was way better then the movie for these reasons. First, the movie had way less heirs then in the book. Another reason is that the characters were a lot weirder in the movie than in the book. The final reason is that they were missing some key components and details , for example they made angela's hair brown and there was no smoke from the westing house.

In the book, the character Four, Tobias Eaton, is a poster-child for the Dauntless faction. His habits made him seem like he could be a Dauntless born, because he has always been a very strong individual. He is described as a tall, dark-haired, and handsome young man. He was the one of the trainers for Tris’ transfer group, and was definitely someone the transfers should have been looking up to during the initiation process. As a viewer and reader, Four takes you on a wild ride, while learning about him and his background. Four also has very strong feelings for one of the transfers, Beatrice “Tris” Prior, throughout the book these feelings play a major role.

What would you rather have, to harm your bestfriend or watch him suffer? Overall the movie Of Mice And Men was a movie book. It is about two men who have been best friends since the day they met, they met through Lennie's aunt Clara. Lennie got in trouble in that town so they had to get away quick. Now George spends his time keeping Lennie out of trouble and they both keep occupied while they work in the fields. Sometimes it can be hard on George because Lennie is mentally challenged and doesn't remember much.
