How is the setting in the movie?is it anything like the book?
what about the sound effects?or the choice of characters?
please help.Of mice and men?movie with 1992 movie version with sinise and Malkovich ?
You usually find when you've read the book,then watched the film,that the movie is nothing like the book,but in this case it is spot on.Malkovichs part of the retarded brother was as touching as in the book and Sinises portrayal as the brother trying to keep things together was brilliant.The settings and every thing about it,was just how I imagined it from the book.A bit like how The Green Mile book compared to the movie.Of mice and men?movie with 1992 movie version with sinise and Malkovich ?
It's hard to go wrong when you have such good material as John Steinbeck! I have seen, and loved, three versions of Steinbeck's classic. There was the 1939 version with Burgess meredith and Lon Chaney, Jr. which is still regarded as one of the best versions of any book on film, and then the TV version from 1980 with Robert Blake (of wife-killing fame) and Randy Quaid, and finally the John Malkevitch -Gary Sinese version.
I found all three to be faithful to Steinbeck's vision of central California being a bread-basket of plenty in a time of hunger and want.
Quite good movie from what I remember, watched it in English class at School after reading the book and it was one of the better films we saw, 10 times better to watch than ';Far from the madding crowd';, another book we were made to read and then watch !
Those were the days ! 16 years ago crikey !
For me there's only ever gonna be one version to watch and that is the 1939 one with Lon Chaney and Burgess Meredith. A classic which needs no remaking whatsoever. But then again I must admit to being prejudice about remakes as I've never seen one yet that beats the original. Want some examples OK. 3-10 to Yuma. The Mark of Zorro. The Wicker Man. The Wicked Lady. . . . . End of!
