Universe - Happy Haven?

 Of mice and men, a beautiful adaptation of the novel of the same name. 

This movie beautifully captures the reality of the American Dream and how unrealistic it can be in this greedy world. The plight of migrant workers and tenant farmers is a cause of concern even now. The depiction of them in this movie is still relevant. The huge divide between rich and poor makes it difficult to create a level playing field. Unless the rich and the state decide to bridge this gap, the dream will remain just as a dream.

It is not the failed plan portrayed in the film that affected me. But it was the way the world treated an intellectually disabled person. It is disturbing and questions humanity. 

Though Lennie received love and care from his friend, he had to die at the hands of his own friend. His friend had to carry this scar in order to relieve Lennie from the cruel men and failed systems. 

The society failed to notice the strengths of these two young men rather condemned and enjoyed their weakness and eventually shattered their dreams. This society evolves by making such people victim of their disadvantaged conditions. One has to learn to grow by lifting others instead of pulling them down. 

Hope this discrimination and disparity end and let the mice and men enjoy their presence in this universe.
