      "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a Good Movie

      After reading the novel in the afternoon, I hurriedly found the movie and made up for it in the evening. It is indeed a good film, worth reading again and again. Black and white pictures can not resist their charm. The film restores most of the descriptions in the novel. It can make me clear and specific about many vague plots in the book, such as the tree hole in Ah Se, the pocket watch, knife, small statue, etc. in the tree hole, and it can also describe some doubtful but passing...

      Robin's Suffering and Redemption

      Every character perfectly presents the character they should have in the original work, Scott's simplicity and cuteness, Jim's bravery and his growth, Finch played by Parker, my God, each one's restoration is super high, As a film adaptation of a famous book, it is simply a success. Of course, it also omits some small details in the original book, but this does not affect its excellence. Personally, I think that although the whole film is narrated in Scott's tone, it is Jim who really...

      Never judge others arbitrarily

      01

      "Robins only sing to us, they don't do anything bad, they don't eat fruits and vegetables in people's gardens, they don't make nests in corn barns, they just sing for us faithfully."

      This is Atticus's evaluation of the robin. He cleverly compares the robin to a type of people represented by black Tom Robinson. They are kind-hearted and never do anything to hurt others.

      He was a...

      I tried my best to reflect Southern life appropriately in the book, because it is not every day that someone is lynched by a mob before breakfast. I think southerners, like people everywhere else, are appalled by the injustices that are happening on their land. - Harper Lee

      If you simply thought this was just a racist film, you were wrong. . The black discrimination in the film is just a springboard, aiming to lead us to a deeper discussion of moral humanity. The film uses the little girl's self-report to show us how the moral concept is gradually recognized in a child's heart. The little girl finally said "Like To Kill a Mockingbird" is the highlight of the whole...

    • Scout: I said, 'Hey,' Mr. Cunningham. How's your entailment getting along?

      [He turns and looks away]

      Scout: Don't you remember me, Mr. Cunningham? I'm Jean Louise Finch. You brought us some hickory nuts one early morning, remember? We had a talk.

You know something, Mr. Cunningham, entailments are bad. Entailments...

    • Older Scout: [narrating] By October, things had settled down again. I still looked for Boo every time I went by the Radley place. This night my mind was filled with Halloween - there was to be a pageant representing our county's agricultural products; I was to be a ham. Jem said he would escort me to the school auditorium. Thus began our longest journey together.

      Scout: Hey, Boo.

      Atticus Finch: [making introductions] Miss Jean Louise, Mr. Arthur Radley. I believe he already knows you.
