Of Mice and Men (1992)
Very emotional movie that gives you good insight on what living during great depression was like.
Of Mice and Men was written as a book then turned into a movie in 1992. It is set back in the 1930 during the Great Depression. With John Malkovich starring as Lennie a big disable man with a mindset of a child and Grey Sinise starring as George his best friend who watches after him. During the Great Depression it is hard to make money and even harder to have your own land. You do not usually see men working together from place to place, but George and Lennie are not like usual men. George and Lennie have to stick together to help each other out and keep Lennie away from homes for disable people and out of trouble. Lennie is about thirty five but has a mindset of a six year old. He keeps making mistakes and George has to pay the price, but the mistakes that Lennie make are not all his fault he can not help himself. The two both have to go through tough situations in which not all have a good out come. The film overall is good it gives you a vision of what it was like living in the great depression and with someone with a mental disability. It shows the roles of what certain people have. The only thing that I do not agree with is how George has to make a very difficult decision and the action he takes.
