George relates to Lennie their shared dream of owning a piece of land, where they will be free to live as they please and live off the fat of the land.
One of the best adaptations to a classic of all time. Malkovich was simply brilliant convincing the viewer that he was a huge (he's only 5'10") mentally challenged man. Malkovich and Sinise founded the Steppenwolf Theater in Chicago together. They go way back - which explains their chemistry in this great film.
George didn't kill his best friend. He set him free. Because he knew that if the police would have caught him, they would have treated him horribly, and basicley would have tortured him. Sio george being the true friend that he was killed lenny. So that lenny could tend to the rabbits in Heaven, instead of living the rest of his life in Hell.
This version directed by Gary Sinese is, by far, the best adaptation of Steinbeck's novella. I saw this movie at the beginning of my sophomore year in 1992 and must have watched it a hundred times in just one week. When my Junior-year English class read the book the following year... I was thrilled that my other classmates would actually get to watch this wonderful film. Sadly... my stupid-b***h of an English teacher got in her head to have us watch the 1981 made-for-tv-version with that dufuss Randy Quaid (of all people!!) as Lenny.
I often find reading rather difficult, I just can't seem to commit myself but thanks to English classes in college I was able to read this book cover to cover. I had already seen the film and a stage play but reading the book really was an experience. I loved the reactions people in my class had at the end since not everyone was familiar with the book, it was just like me when I first came across this. I really should read more Steinbeck if any of his other novels are like this.
Am I the only person that think's Lennie's voice is supposed to be much deeper and slower? It makes much more sense judging that in the book he is described as "huge in stature". Although I guess it makes the opposite true, having a huge burly man with a small stupid voice. Goddammit I miss Lennie so much he was just doing his best.
I remember when my dad told me a long time ago, that the Looney toons character who would pick up Bugs bunny, and pet him hard like crazy was inspired by Mice, and men, moreso the original one with Lon Chaney Jr. though, cause I hade no idea what that comedy bit was about back then.
dang. At the end i was like "WHY THE HELL DIDNT YOU GIVE THEM THEIR DAMN DREAM!" but still a good book. Fuck you Steinbeck for being a hell of a good writer. :')
I thought they might actually achieve Their dream when Candy helped pay for the house. and then Lennie accidently kills Curleys wife and george has to kill lennie :,(
@xSODMGxx it was sad :( but he did it so that he wouldn't be locked up or hurt by anyone any more and he made it so that he was happy when he died by getting him excited for the rabbits... such a sad ending :( wish they'd have just run away.
Hey guys need your help regarding these questions. It's for my thesis. 1. Will you consider George and Lenny’s friendship bromance? How? 2. Can bromance exist beyond the borders of high society? Or can it exist in the realms of the blue-collared societal strata as well? Which is more acceptable bromance in higher social group or in lower social group? Why?
How did your thesis go? I see it was 11 years ago and was so curious! Lol Bromances can exist in all demographics. It has been in my experience being from a generational poverty area, it is looked at as, “taking care of your own,” blood or not.
First saw this movie somewhere in the middle of it. I thought, "How innovative of Hollywood to hire a genuine mentally handicapped person!" That was my introduction to Malkovich.

about the the wabbits not tonight... come on george please please please PLEASE *5 hrs later* please please please! *boom* thats how lennie rlly died... lol
@GamerGirlElla Yah, I saw his role in "In the Line of Fire" about four months before I saw him play Lenny...if you haven't seen "Fire," def check it out and you'll see why I was like, "Uh, ok he's got range" lol.
John Malkovic's acting in this is amazing, you could not get a better portrayal of Lennie.
The problem is that he's not convincingly big and strong here like he was supposed to be in the book.
@@ChelseatheCreativeFox-pc2xz i always see people draw Lennie as some big man who looks 9 feet tall, i like him as a actual person TBH
I thought he wasn't big enough either
Lon Chaney Jr. was very good as Lennie in 1939.
I am honestly shocked that Malkovich played Lennie. Talk about becoming someone else.
Lennie's voice is so adoreable
Fr
Reading this for english. I absolutely adore Lennie. 😊❤
Ikk it's so sad. At least he does it in the most humane way possible.
+Lauren Read that guy assumed you didn't read the ending, and decided to be a shit head to try and spoil it for you.
wow i didn't even realize that :'D
Try not to get too attached
I'm watching it for English I love George but I hate him for shooting lennie

Go now quickly!
Tell me about the rabbits, Lt Dan
Holy SHIT YES
WHAT IS THIS MICKEY MOUSE CRAP!?
Me confuse
@@hopper6094I gotta find bubbbaaaaaa
So far I really like this movie, I can't wait to see their farm later on.
im gonna tell him
The scene where Lenny's rabbits eat alfalfa in the tiny garden for the first time is one of the most heartwarming moments in cinema
it seems that George is a bit nicer in the movie than he was in the book
Is he?
Definitely!
How so?
@@dh-uo4lt
While you see George vent his anger & frustation
at Lenny from time to time... he is definitely
more patient and understanding.
@@VredesStall wrong
I have mastered the Lennie voice, yes I'm proud.
What about th chewblaccaa voice?
George wasn’t joking when he said that if he got into trouble he wouldn’t let him tend the rabbits
Lmao
💀

Yeah.plus.itd be mental torture for lenny being seperated from george.if something happened to george and lenny was alone.hed perish from heartbreak.
The Movie is actually a lot closer to the book than i thougth it was
All I typed was "I was only foolin' ya George. I don't want no ketchup," and this came up
That stick that George was holding did an amazing job!
John Malkovich does an amazing job in this movie
He was just being natural
best version hands down
bro thats exactly what i said in our class discussion today and my teachers and friends loved it!! GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE!
Lennie's so cute! ♥
With all of the other work these two men have done, this still stands as their best work. They really nailed the parts.

Ikr it’s so sad. But I thought the same about his voice as well

When he trails off like that.......i completely understand.
The acting is amazing. I love this book /film✨✨👌👌
God I love this movie and book...
John Malkovich is a genius in this movie!!!!!!!!!
My favourite movie all time .
I remember when my dad told me a long time ago, that the Looney toons character who would pick up Bugs bunny, and pet him hard like crazy was inspired by Mice, and men, moreso the original one with Lon Chaney Jr. though, cause I hade no idea what that comedy bit was about back then.
This story kills me every damn time. Jayzus.
me too! lol. we were watching this in English, and once i saw george i was like, "hey! he's from csi ny!!!" gary sinise is my fave. XD
Aww, Lennie!
Lon Chaney Jr. and John Malkovich were both brilliant in this part, but for diffrent reasons.
LIEUTENANT DAN! ICE CREAM!
New legs?
Tell me again about the rabbits, George.
George, I want to tend the... Pow!
Tell me about the rabbits George lol.
The original w Burgess Meredith and Lon Chaney Jr blows this away
I got to find bubbaaa
dang. At the end i was like "WHY THE HELL DIDNT YOU GIVE THEM THEIR DAMN DREAM!" but still a good book. Fuck you Steinbeck for being a hell of a good writer. :')
I want some mother Fucking ketchup with my beans
My eyes wondered onto the related videos and it spoiled the book!!! JESUS!!!
I thought they might actually achieve Their dream when Candy helped pay for the house. and then Lennie accidently kills Curleys wife and george has to kill lennie :,(

I like this one the best. But I also like the 1939 version with Burgess Meredith. And I'm sure the 81 version which I haven't seen is good too.

Whenever I forget what my wife told me I say.... tell me about the rabbits
Where are the great movies of yesterday?...
Anybody know where to get the full movie online?:)
can anyone tell me what page it is in the novel that describes the barn?
The film almost every actor spoken with Southern Accents
Deep.
Lennie would end up finding trouble, folks.
What would this movie have looked like if George was played by Joe Pesci and Lennie was played by Daniel Stern?
which bit is this in the book? what page could someone please tell me
Does anybody know what page number this was on the book????
I agree.
Sad story. He kills his friend
Albert gomez he had to or Curley was gonna torture him
@TheXDsunny Its very near the begging before they get to the ranch about page 5-8
Holy Dog Shit!!! its lieutenant Dan Taylor!
Lennie is so cute, his naivity. N Gary Sinise looked hot
what chapter was this from the book?
Francha Barcelon chapter 1
Poor Lennie :(
1:05 - 1:21 you're welcome
@lmister Yeah, I know. Anyway, I meant that they exaggerated it. Lennie was supposed to have just a slight mental disability.
Who dislikes this shit? Those three people are sad, sad individuals.
Who’s watching for English homework?
Read the book! It's so much better if you do the reading yourself instead of procrastinate and have someone else do the work for you.
English literature
@blushbby sorry to correct you sir but it's wabbits not rabbits xD
Yeah :)
Thumbs up if you jumped at 0:41 ...
2 people didn't have their dreams come true. :(
