Jordan Valdez Post #10 Of Mice and Men

Jordan Valdez, Post #10, 1992, Of Mice and Men, Directed by Gary Sinise I read Of Mice and Men when I was in Hugh school so I thought it would interesting to watch the film for this project. I have to say I liked it but most likely because I was anticipating what had happened in the book. The movie was good however definitely not my favorite of the films I have watched. I dont want to say that it was boring, but I think the ideas and events in the book keft for a simple plot. I enjoyed the performances of the actors and I feel that Gary Sinise did a great job as both the director and one of the lead actors. Perhaps because it is not the most exciting story, I didn't get a lasting impression but I can appreciate the film. I think the most important film techniques used in this film were the close ups and the reaction shots. A wide variety of medium and long shots were incorporated as well. OTS shots were appropriately completed and establishing shots made sure we knew where the scenes were taking place. Overall, I think the techniques used did their job and allowed for the smooth telling of Lenny and George's story. I don't know if I will watch this film again but instill do not have anything bad to say about it.
