I am the man. I like movies

     I have chosen to portray the character George from the book of Mice and Men to the movie. Due to illness I was not able to watch the first part of the movie, although I did catch the second half. I believe that George in the movie was a little more intelligent and larger in scale than I imagined in the book. When I was reading the book I thought of George more of a street smart kind of guy instead of an actual educated gentleman. I also thought of George more a man who had Lennie around because he did not have the physical properties he needed to work at the ranch, but in the movie he seems that he does not even need Lennie in fact in looks as if he could handle him self on the ranch. I also pictured Lennie and Georges friendship a little differently in the book it seems that George treats Lennie more like a little kid that never behaves and in the movie I thought he treated him more like an adult. The George in the book was the one I preferred because it was the one that my mind created and when I watched the movie that kind of just ruined it for me. So in conclusion I give the Mice of Men movie a rating 5 out of 10 for its poor performance to display the characters the way the book did.
