Gary Sinise has found the perfect balance between comedy, sadness, and friendship to make one of the best films of his time. The first thing you notice in Of Mice And Men is the mellow music with the ominus back tones. Then out of the shadows you see one man then out of nowhere you see the man having some type of flashback.

During the scene where everybody was working out on the fields there was one thing that really made it a happy scene and that was music that was playing, there was a symphony of all kind of instruments paying happy song and in turn making it a happy scene. When Lennie was in the barn it was dark and the whole scene had a big and sad undertone to it that made you feel bad for Lennie. During the saddest scene in Of Mice And Men when George has to kill Lennie, there was an abruptness to it, there was no scene of george lifting up the gun to shoot him it just happened in an instant which caused shock to a lot of watchers. In my opinion this is one of the best scenes in any movie ever, the whole scene just shows how one mistake and you can lose you life and that your best friend could be the one doing

    George and Lennie were lifelong friends and had varying personalities even from the start. Lennie thought about how his Aunt Clara said he should have been more like George. At the time when the story took place, the two men were travelling together, and had been for some time, working and then moving on to search for the next job they could find. They were like many other men in search for work, except it was rare for men to travel together. George felt a need to take care of Lennie because he was somewhat slow. George was an average man of the time. He was a good size, nice, but firm, and he had aspirations to be more than just a nomadic laborer. Lennie, on the other hand, had always been a little different. He was big, goofy, clumsy, but sweet. They were also both good workers. George was concerned with working and getting his money before they got into trouble and had to leave camp. Lennie was the one who normally started the trouble. He was a hard worker and lived to appease George, but he got distracted easily which angered George. George told about how they would own a house and a farm together and work for themselves. Lennie loved to hear the story and think about the possibilities, even though nobody knew if any of it was a possibility. George and Lennie's differences in part led to George's inclination to kill Lennie. Despite their dissimilarity, the two men needed each other probably more than they realized.

    Lennie appeared out of the brush by the deep, green pool of the Salinas River. He had been running. He knelt down quietly by the pool’s edge and drank barely touching his lips to the water. He finished drinking and sat down embracing his knees on the bank, facing the trail entrance. He became very skittish and jumpy. Every little noise prodded for his attention. He knew he had made a huge mistake and George would be mad at him. He had remembered though, that George told him to hide here and wait for him.

  • Character Traits of Lennie in Of Mice and Men

    997 Words  | 2 Pages

    One of Lennie's many traits is his forgetfulness. He easily forgets what he is supposed to do, but he somehow never forgets what he is told. An example of how Lennie is forgetful is when he has the mice in his pocket and when he went to pet them they bit his finger. “Lennie picked up the dead mouse and looked at with a sad face. When they bit him he pinched them, and by doing that he crushed their heads” (page 5) . This is important because he knew that if he squeezed their heads they would die, but since he is forgetful, he squeezed anyway. Another example of how Lennie is forgetful is when he grabbed Curley's hand and crushed it. “ Curley’s fist was swinging when Lennie reached for it. Lennie squeezed on until George came running in shouting ‘let go’. The next moment Curley was on the ground wailing while he held his crushed hand” (page 64). This event is important because Lennie had held on, not knowing what to do next, until George told him what to do. A final exampl...

    What truly led up to this, and how would the story have gone differently if George had not killed Lennie? As aforementioned, they lived in the Great Depression, a time where achieving the American Dream was almost impossible to do, especially with all the farms being lost in Oklahoma. Most of the character's perspective of Lennie was that he was most simply a passive aggressive retard. Later in the novel the reader notices that he is incredibly strong which serves to positive and negative effects in the story.

    ... killing the only friend he had and was someone who he had promised to protect, but he still believed he had to do this. Lennie did not have a chance to stand up for what he had done, society in the 1930’s was different from us today. People did not receive the chance to stand up for what they did and receive the actions of punishment, they would just be shot on the spot or taken and hung. This was the major mercy killing in the book and was foreshadowed by each of the other killings Lennie committed.

    The point is that Lennie does remember most of the things that George tells him. For example, he can remember what George says when he is angry. Thus, since George instructed him to return to a certain place, Lennie does remember this thing. He just can not remember what he can and can not do. As mentioned above, Lennie does not have very much control over his own life and behavior.

    The fact that the story is told through the eyes of Lenore also leaves the reader to wonder what is really going on between George and Sarah behind the scenes. For instance when George and Sarah go on a walk, we have no idea what went on during the walk, where they actually went and the feelings they truly shared for one another. This leads to what Wolfgang Iser would call “illusion,” it leads to an imaginary world the reader is left to create for themselves.

  • Analysis Of The Bechdel Test: A Social History Approach

    In my opinion, there are three specific criteria’s, which make a movie great. First, a great film always has great actors. For example, in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Jack Nicholson, and Danny DeVito are well known actors who played a great role in this film, and wouldn’t have been the same without them. Next, a great movie always has a powerful opening that conveys presents crucial patterns to foreshadow later events in the film. I felt One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest lacked this aspect in its’ opening scene. All that is shown is a beautiful landscape with a mountain in the background, as the viewer sees a car drive by. This scene does not really convey significant patterns that follow throughout the movie. Lastly, a great movie always has a hero with a moral problem. These types of films reveal a unique and significant side to the heroes that give them the strength to prevail at the end of the film. In addition, these films have a hero that tries to override one master problem or goal that help drive the story of the movie. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest fit this criterion excellently. McMurphy, the so-called hero of this film wanted to make the people of the mental institution feel like they were normal. McMurphy constantly helped the group feel like they were men again by doing manly things with them, such as, playing cards, drinking alcohol, going fishing, and playing
