Gary Sinise is George!

    Gary Sinise is brilliant in Of Mice and Men. His portrayal of George is spot on! He portrayed his relationship with Lennie flawlessly. He showed both how protective he was of Lennie and how angry he was of him for holding him back in life. This is shown throughout the entire movie when he tries to keep Lennie out of trouble and when he did get into trouble he always did his best to try and get him out of it. This was ultimately displayed at the end of the novel/movie when Lenny got himself in trouble by accidentally murdering the boss' son's wife. Lennie ended up running away into the hills to a spot where George would know where he was. When George met up with Lenny he could hear foot steps and voices of their co-workers getting closer to them. George knew that Lennie's future would not be pleasant if they were to find Lenny. So George got Lennie to think of a happy thought and then abruptly he pointed a gun at Lennie's head and then pulled the trigger. This act of ultimate friendship was brilliantly portrayed by Gary Sinise in Of Mice and Men.
