What price would you pay to protect someone you love?

Have you ever been at a family reunion and have to listen people talk about things that have happened in there lives and it seems to drag on for hours and hours, Well if you feel like you want to watch a movie that represents that family reunion just watch " Of Mice and Men".Gary Sinise movie Of mice and men makes you believe that friendship is the ultimate gift in life and no matter the stupid things that your friend may do, you will always be there for them. John Malkovich (Lenny) plays a very big fellow , that all he wants out of life is to have something that he "can pet with his thumb". Lenny wants the to make George (Gary Sinise) proud of him so he will do anything to make George happy, because he doesn't want George to take the rabbits away from him. Gary Sinise does an amazing job of making you feel that you are in the same situation as thousands of people living through the Great Depression. George is the small but mighty of the two man , Lenny is the soft and gentle. As the movie moves along the man travel from Weed to California to try and start over and build a new life . George and Lenny's have a dream of some day owning a piece of there own land, and living off the fatta' of the land.
This movie is one of the worst that i have watched in a very long time, after reading John Steinbecks book and learning about Lenny and his problems , It made me think that Lenny is just a slow and troubled person. But after watching the movie that Gary Sinise put together made me really think if Lenny was just slow or plain stupid? This movie just seems to drag along like someone when they run there fingers along the chalk board and you get the cold pain down your back. Gary needs to learn how to bring the audience into the movie. It just seemed to make me want to fall asleep.
If you are looking for a movie that is going to put you to sleep here is the movie for you.
