Of Mice And Men Movie Analysis

Even though George sometimes says how much better his life would be without Lennie, he will always protect Lennie. George is devoted to watching out for Lennie. He is always telling Lennie not to talk because that will probably lead to trouble. If Lennie gets in trouble that will block the both of them from living their dream. So George is inspired to keep Lennie out of trouble.

Strong friendships have the power to make people’s lives better. George and Lennie travel together and eventually live together, resulting in a strong bond between them. George cares for Lennie and he makes sure

The problem with Lennie was that he was mentally disabled, back in the 1930's people did not understand things like that, and had no clue about disabled people. Lennie was sweet and loved thing that were soft. Lennie would put himself in very dangerous situations and with disability he lacked the capacity to control himself physically. Lennie did not understand how strong he was and they damage he would do until after the fact. He also shares the dream of having the small farm and tending to his small rabbit hutch. Since Lennie is mentally disabled he depends on George for almost everything. Lennie is like a small child that has to a have a parent nearby always or he will get into

Although George does have his faults he also has a good side. He is a kind and courteous person. This can first be seen when Lennie asks for ketchup while he and George are basically in the middle of nowhere going to the ranch

In addition to George being protective he is also fair. He never does or says anything to Lennie without a reason. In chapter two, George told Lennie not to talk. Now some may see this as telling Lennie he is too dumb to talk but all George wanted to do was to get a job to help provide for Lennie and himself. In chapter one, George says that he wants Lennie to stay with him so George can take care off him, ""I want you to stay with me, Lennie. Jesus Christ, somebody'd shoot you for a coyote if you was by yourself." (13) George and Lennie are sitting by the fire and Lennie said that he could go off into the woods and find a cave to live in, George wouldn't let him because no matter how much of a nuisance Lennie is, George will always care for

George not only controlled Lennie but he also looked out for him and he wanted him to be happy. An example of this is how he constantly reminds Lennie of their dream,

I knowed his Aunt Clara. She took him when he was a baby and raised him up. When his Aunt Clara died, Lennie just come along with me out workin'. Got kinda used to each other after a little while." (steinbeck p.39-40) george has known lennie for probably longer than candy and his dog.

George is the one that always cleans up the trouble Lennie causes. They dream of having a ranch of their own where they can be the owners. Lennie was accused of rape in the ranch they used to work at so they had to find a new job. When they arrive at the new ranch they meet with the boss’s son’s wife, the tart, George warns Lennie to stay away from her because she is just trouble. They also meet Candy, another worker, He decides he wanted to help George and Lennie in their dream to buy a ranch of their own.

Aw, Lennie!' George put his hand on Lennie’s shoulder. ' I ain’t takin’ it away jus’ for meanness'" (Page 9). He understands Lennie and how he thinks.

Because the two characters are ranked the lowest in society, the moment the two shared in Crooks’ room was very significant to his role. Crooks is an outcast on the ranch, but has his own room and is surrounded by books. Crooks is very advanced academically wise, while Lennie is not mentally past a toddler's age. Besides the fact Crooks was kicked in the back, he is measured nowhere close to Lennie’s physical strength. Since Crooks is ranked the lowest on the ranch, he is a realist and sees things for how they are, “Nobody never gets to heaven, and nobody gets no land. It's just in their head. They're all the time talkin' about it, but it's jus' in their head” (80). Crooks tells Lennie that no matter the amount of books he has, a man needs someone to talk to because a man can go crazy. Crooks does not really understand the bond that Lennie shares with George because he has never been able to understand that human connection, after he realizes what he says to Lennie is hurtful to him and uncalled for, he wants Lennie to try to understand where he is coming from at this point, he states, “This is just a nigger talkin', an' a busted-back nigger. So it don't mean nothing, see?" (4.39). Crooks defines his own notion of himself not based on what he believes he's worth, but on knowing that no matter how he feels, others around him

Lennie will follow George wherever he goes and do whatever George wants, for example: the time when George told him to jump off of a bridge and Lennie did it without question even though he couldn't swim (which he probably didn't know). Lennie's love was truly shown when George leaves for the night with all of the other ranchers, and Lennie ventures into crooks room on the account that he saw his light.Crooks asked Lennie “S’pose George don't come back no more. S’pose he took a powder and just aint coming back. What'll you do then?” and Lennie responds by questioning crooks about who hurt his friend, and getting angry. It seems as if Lennie looks up to George more than anything, both as a brother and a father because he doesn't question anything about him.

When Lennie was in Crook’s bunk, Crooks kept pressuring Lennie with questions about “S’pose George don’t come back no more. S’pose he took a powder and just ain’t coming back. What’ll you do then?”(Steinbeck 53) And of course, Lennie being Lennie got angry at the man’s distrust and almost beat up the stable buck for even saying mean things about George. Crooks was fortunate enough to be able to talk him down and reassure Lennie that George is fine and will come back unscathed. This proves that Lennie cares and wants to protect George just as George does for Lennie. In other words, Lennie and George display reciprocity which is a sign of true friendship according to Karen Karbo. “People in successful same-sex friendships seem to possess a well-developed, intuitive understanding of the give and take of intimacy.”(Karbo

In my perspective, I do not believe any characters have changed. As the film went on, taking action was just trying the get “the general” back so Johnnie can continue his job as an engineer. Even though Elizabeth was kept hostage, he saved her which he would have done even if she wasn’t mad at him for not joining the army. Anyways at the end of it all he got the girl and had a new position. His attitude didn’t show any improvement he is the same kind of person he was in the beginning of the motion

It would show all the different views of scenes making the audience feel what it would be like to actually be in the scene. They would finish it off with loud sounds, they would be very descriptive about all sound. They would play certain songs that had the ability to set a mood over the scene. It all has many common themes that are showed through the film. Lennie and George have a goal to become wealthy and have there own house. This is showed many times in the film and shows constant hope that they will reach this goal. Also at the end one of the themes could be the killings because there are many different killings. All of these factors can Overall all of the different categories add together to make a very thrilling

The opening of the film starts with a flashback of a girl running with a ripped red dress. It seems that Lennie and George have done something wrong because there are multiple men chasing them with guns. This scene builds anticipation and suspense for what is going to happen to Lennie and George. The more anticipation that is built, the more the audience will want to watch the movie because this makes it seem that the movie will have something very important going on and it makes you curious about what is going to happen next.
