What were some differences between the book and movie 'Of Mice and Men'?

Answer 1

* George and Lennie are shown sneaking into a train at night to escape from Weed. This was not mentioned in the book.

* The bus is shown to be heading for Tyler Ranch which angers George as the bus driver told him and Lennie to get off the bus earlier on in the movie.

* In the movie, Slim tells George to bring a mule with a sore foot to the barn. Only Curley's wife was around and starts a conversation with George which was later interrupted by Curley. Curley tells her to return to the house and issues a warning to George.

* Though not mentioned in the book, Curley is seen practicing on a punching bag outside his house with his wife watching in boredom.

* A worker named Mike approaches Slim and asks him whether he could switch jobs with someone else as he could not keep up with Lennie. This was not mentioned in the book.

* The conversation between Lennie, Crooks, Candy, and Curley's wife was cut from the movie.

* The part where Lennie hallucinates about Aunt Clara and the giant rabbit was also cut.

* George could not find Lennie in the brush but instead embraced with Lennie in the water.

* In the book, George shoots Lennie with a luger pistol but in the film he uses a colt revolver.

* The ending was also changed: in the book, George remains on the ranch, while in the film, George is seen riding alone in yet another boxcar to his next destination in both the introduction and the ending, indicating that George fled after killing Lennie, and is reminiscing on past events during the ride.

* At the end of the novel Slim, Curley and Carlson come to find Lennie dead and George with the gun in his hand. George lies and tells the men that Lennie took Carlson's gun and he tells them that he took the gun away from Lennie and shot him in the back of his neck. The book ends with Slim saying "You hadda George. I swear you hadda." and the two walking away. Curley then asks Carlson whats bugging the two. This scene was completely cut out of the movie and replaced with George's flashbacks.

Hope this Helped! :D

Answer 2

One key difference between the book and movie 'Of Mice and Men' is that the movie sometimes simplifies or omits certain characters and subplots present in the book. Additionally, the visual nature of the film medium allows for a different interpretation of the characters and setting compared to the reader's imagination.
