Friend Or Foe?



How would you feel if you had a friend who's always nagging on your every move , even when you do nothing negetive at all? If you had a first rate idea come to mind , and all of a sudden it's shot down by a figure who is apparent to be your best friend? If you were always happy go lucky and did your best to apprehend situations that were above your intelligence level - but still did your best , and all you got was a slap in the side of the head , and a demand to shut up? This is exactly what takes place in the slow moving novela ' Of Mice And Men ' by John Steinbeck.
Sit down and relax , grab a bowl of popcorn , and prepare to be bored to death in this short film about two companions who travel the world together and toil on various ranches in hopes of one day fufilling thier dreams. Add in a side of dull imagery , improper grammer , and a corny little tart and you've got you're self Tyler Ranch. When the two main character George Milton and Lennie Small dismount at the ranch they are quickly introduced to all of the not so friendly folks whom they will be spending the next little while with. George arrived at the ranch with his best friend , but after a short time , a foe would be the preferred word to describe how he feels for Lennie.
George has a mouthful to say to Lennie at all times . Hell , I wouldn't doubt if the bruises that appeared on Lennie's face was an outcome of an agrument with Geroge rather then Curley. Even though Lennie was a bit dense, all he wanted was a friend , After time something that George could not even offer. George Milton was brainwashed by all the other men to do away with Lennie ,ironically - just like what happened to Candys Dog. At the end of the film George has no problem getting the job done by shooting him in the back of the head. This is a enchanting example about what friendship really is , if your aggrivated with a friend , just shoot him right?....
If your ever having a day when your sick of one of your friends attitudes or the way they are treating you just invite them over for a evening flick , perhaps ' Of Mice And Men ' , I'm sure they will get the hint , or the fear that this could be them.
