Some people say the book, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, is better than the movie, but I say the movie is better because some people may not know what some of the things they are doing and you can see the emotions in people’s faces. With the things they are doing, some people may not know what “bucking barley” is and in the movie you can see them work with it. Some people may have never heard of or seen people harvesting barley. In the movie, we see George running the machines and Lennie putting heavy bags into the back of the truck. The movie also shows what the whole farm looks like when they’re harvesting the barley. In the movie, you can see the emotions in people’s faces while the book just describes them. Some people may not be
able to imagine the faces of people, or what they look like, but in the movie you can see them. The book just says everyone’s names, but you can forget who’s who when in the movie you can see everyone and put a face to their name. I think the movie is better than the book, because you can actually see the people and their emotions instead of imagining it. The book can’t let you hear or see people. Some people may think Lennie has a British accent and sound intelligent, when really he’s not. The book doesn’t let you see how people walk or the hand gestures they do when they talk. In the movie, we can see Crook’s crooked back when in the book we can’t. The book can describe the setting, but some people may not know what the forests or rivers looked like during the time period the book was written. In the movie, we can see the setting and the weather and the characters’ surroundings. Again, I’d rather watch the movie than read the book because I like to see people’s actions and people’s feelings in their faces. The movie showed me the things I’ve never heard of that were in the book. The book, Of Mice and Men, was good, but I still think the movie’s better.
book was blander. The book did not catch my attention as much. The movie really caught my
Second there is more detail in the book than the movie. Well, I think that more detail is better because the more you know the better you understand the movie or
In conclusion, details involving the characters and symbolic meanings to objects are the factors that make the novel better than the movie. Leaving out aspects of the novel limits the viewer’s appreciation for the story. One may favor the film over the novel or vice versa, but that person will not overlook the intense work that went into the making of both. The film and novel have their similarities and differences, but both effectively communicate their meaning to the public.
As you can all see the movie for once is actually better than the book in showing the
When you get to the beginning, middle, or end u realize they are both very different. The movie and book have a lot in common like they both have the same characters .
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 their friendship. In the end, with Lennie dead, George finds out that dreams aren’t worth striving for, and eventually, loneliness overcomes everything. The movie, running almost two hours, stays very true to the book, although some things are removed or added. While the movie differs from the book in a few ways, it still gives its audience the same message.
Overall, the movie and book have many differences and similarities, some more important than others. The story still is clear without many scenes from the book, but the movie would have more thought in it.

A Comparison of John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men and the 1939 Film Version of the Novel. Looking at the novel 'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck there is the clear comparison that this is a print text, while the 1939 film. version of the novel by Milestone is a visual text. There are many things that need to be taken into consideration when analysing a visual text, these being the use of camera angle, sound, lighting.
John Steinbeck 's book Of Mice and Men is a piece of literature that everyone is familiar with in one form or another. There have been countless stage productions of the book and three film adaptations. The most recent film version was in 1992, and it starred Gary Sinise and John Malkovich. While the film version remains mainly true to the original book, there are a few differences that are noticeable. While many think that a film can actually enhance a story by adding a visual to the text, it often times falls short. In dealing with the loneliness of the characters of the story, the book does a much better job of conveying not only their loneliness, but also the despair and desperation that each character feels when confronted with loneliness.
Of Mice and Men, by Steinbeck, shows many different views on society. This book has a lot different messages you can take and apply to real life. All the people in the story can relate to someone today and also to some stuff that still happens all around the world. When reading this book you can really start to understand and connect with the characters and identify their weaknesses and their strengths. Some things you really start to notice is how powerful some people are and how they use that power in everyday living. Many characters had power, because of that it helped some get by, helped some take advantage and boss people around, but power also hurt them.
The book and the movie were both very good. The book took time to explain things like setting, people’s emotions, people’s traits, and important background information. There was no time for these explanations the movie. The book, however, had parts in the beginning where some readers could become flustered.
In the book Of Mice and Men By: John Steinbeck, it gave us a lot of life lesson to learn about and a lot for us to think about. Also in the movie Million Dollar Baby directed by Clint Eastwood have a lot of similarities to Of Mice and Men. Some similarities are that they have some of the same themes like loneliness and poverty and have characters are have the same traits like Lennie and Maggie also, Frankie and George. Maggie in Million Dollar Baby has a large determination for becoming a good fighter.
From reading the book and watching the movie, I think the book was more insightful, but the movie was more entertaining. The only problem with the movie is that you don't know what is going through Chance's mind and his background information. The movie does help make some things clearer by seeing it, instead of just picturing it in your mind. The added scenes in the movie helps to put some humor into the story and make it more entertaining. By just watching the movie, some people could be confused if they don't know some background on Chance. I think that by reading the book, you can understand the story better and by watching the movie you can enjoy the story better.
There is always a big conflict between which is better, the book or the movie. In my own opinion the book is usually better because of the amount of detail the author can put into it. Movies usually are not able to put all of the details in it because of the time issue. The thing that makes books so good is the intricate detail to the small things. Books almost always have a backstory to things, but in movies they have to get straight to the point to make it only about two hours.
