Love that movie, and the novel, both.
My sister had the same reaction when she watched Of Mice & Men on tv when she was about 13. Completely traumatized.

I love Steinbeck, but a bit too much of him in one sitting will have a person slitting their wrists. East of Eden is my absolute favorite of his works.
