Of Mice and Men? More like, of Retards and Rabbits

Seriously i am not impressed with both the Novel and film adaptation of 'Of Mice and Men'. The story follows two men eager on working and making a future for themselves during the great depression. Such a task is not very easy for these two misfits. Enter George Milton(Gary Sinise), a short tempered, scrawny, man of small stature. George's role in this story is basically to look after his counter-part, mentally challenged, over weight and beastly, Lenny Small(John Malkovich), who for some reason is just absolutely CRAZY about tending rabbits. I can minimally understand why he is so nuts about touching soft surfaces, but Lenny turns it into an obsession, and considering he maims or kills everything he comes into contact with, would you even let him tend YOUR rabbits, or talk to your wife? So i guess before Gary Sinise (George) was figuring out the trajectory of bullets at a crime scene, he was diminished to play the role of a redneck, who'd a thunk it! Another thing that bothers me about this film adaption was the ending, way too sudden, it leaves the viewer in disbelief that the film has even ended, and there has got to be more to come, but no, it just ends with a bullet in Lenny's skull, while he hasn't even finished his previous sentence, where has your respect run off to George. All in all, the movie projects a fairly good message, even though i am not sure what it is. The book was an alright read and readers have a little time to get connected and attached to their favorite characters before they aree killed off in mid speech.
