A must see Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review richard m Along with 'The Grapes of Wrath' John Steinbeck created 2 of the best depictions of the hardships and the humanity of desperate migrations to survive the privations of the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression Both film adaptations are top quality and draw the viewer back 70 years to a time before America was a super power and one of the most prosperous and powerful societies ever. The hard scrabble roots of our nation are a revelation.

For nearly an academic term I studied the written version of this story, written by John Steinbeck. It gave me an insight on how The Great Depression of America affected the average proletariat, and also the average mentally challenged proletariat. This shows how Steinbeck was ahead of his time, by including a man with autistic tendencies into his story, furthermore making him a main character. But, what about the movie itself? For me the casting, voices, acting, and the overall appearance of the actors/characters make this film the "default version" of the story if you're looking for the best adaptation from book to live-action. What I also really like about this movie is the actor of Lennie, John Malkovich (also the writer of the 100 years movie). He perfectly reenacts how Lennie would be if he were real and even makes his lines funnier to watch. When compared to other adaptations of the story into film, I find his voice to be the perfect tone for his character, not too deep/masculine, and enough to sound childlike. In conclusion, I think that this movie is the right one to watch if you want see the story in live-action, and as a way to give a teacher a break while teaching/studying the book itself.
