Carlton to Curly:" You God damned punk! You're yellow as a frog's belly. I don't care if you're the best damned welter in the country. You come for me and I'll kick you're goddamned head off!" And Curly took it!
@whywhywhywhyshame He knew Lennie wouldn't fight back so he didn't bother. Besides, he wasn't really a hot shot boxer; he just bragged all the time. Even lod Carlson wasn't was ready to take him on!
@whywhywhywhyshame "Just lead twice wit' the left, den bring in the right cross! The good ol' one two!" CUrly was a chump! Lenny busted him up but good! LOL
It seemed like in this movie, unlike in the book, Lennie WAS laughing at Curley. Slim said about how he tried to throw a scare into Slim and then said "I seen him"; it sounded like Lennie said, "yeah I seen him"; I thought from the book that Lennie was smiling because George had just told him about the rabbits.
Ya right, they're always better when they reflect conventional, "modern" standards of moviemaking.
You might criticize this or any movie, or any work of literature, by the dramatic effect (or lack thereof), and its presentation. But when you criticize solely by when it was made, then you are lost.
this is super cool i really love watching old movies it shows that even though technology isn't that great it was great like 50 years from now what was good to us will not be. Thanks =)
Lon Chaney Jr created the character of Lennie so well that in years to come, directors would ask him to repeat it in their low budget horror films. It was perhaps the most sensitive rolle that Chaney had done to date and even his Wolf Man portrayal has to take a back seat in the depth of the acting he displayed.
At least you seem to get this. Unlike the prisoners of "modernism" who seem to infect this thread. Those who lack old souls. I feel very sorry for them.
Matter of taste, and you have a right to your opinion. At least you're not invoking a half century of technical "improvements" as proof that what we see "new" now is always better.
Well it was made back in the time when violence wasn't shown as much. Why do you think all those Universal Monsters either killed you offscreen or just strangled you? They only SAID the people got their hands crushed or their throats torn out. It doesn't make it terrible just less violent. It's not much different from the 2000's either. Both look less kinndly on violence and gore. It still does a good job with the story.
i know rite although this version was more realistic to the book i thought it was shit and the 1992 version was better this was the worst acting i have ever seen but its true that curley was not this thin in the newer version
the book was great. nothing about the book was changed in both movies.

When you see Lon Chaney Jr. crushing Curley's hand, his face looks terrified.
