Of Mice and Men: The Movie
Spoiler Alert!
This could spoil the end of Of Mice and Men (book and movie) if you didn't already watch or read it.
Section III
Although the plot has the same ending in both the book and the movie, the actual ending moments of each piece are different. The movie ends with a flashback; the book ends with dialogue.
In the movie, there is a flashback. The flashback is George and Lennie finishing their work for the day, and walking off into the sunset. This means to me that maybe, they got the money and their going to go achieve their dream. George and Lennie always had a dream together, which was buying a little ranch. They looked happy, and they seemed like they were finishing their work. This could've been an imagination too. A flashback of the future, or just an imagination, if he chose the other choice.
This ending may have made the reader in one of those moods like, "They look very happy together, and they accomplished their goals, although the time were indeed rough." Personally, this left me in one of those moods like, that was them. They could've did that, they are extremely happy. This may have made some people tear up because it was a very powerful ending. I think that it was powerful, although I didn't tear up. Very powerful ending... I personally rate the movie and book 10/10.
First off, I'm glad you decided to include a spoiler alert at the beginning of your blog, I don't think many people remembered to do that. This was another good blog from you, and you expressed your feelings with a lot of thought put into your words. Great job!
