Whether it is a book or a movie, this is a work that is easily dissuaded by its name, but in fact, many people will lament why they didn't see this work earlier after watching the movie or the original.
I didn’t miss it. In fact, it’s still dazzled by the appearance of a powder. Gregorian Parker is a man with a shining appearance from the inside out, so even if he plays such a name, he doesn’t seem to know it is. I also watched movies with enthusiasm. After watching the movies, I still have a lot of thoughts, and then I read the original works. It was amazing.
It is recommended that those who are interested to read the original work, it is never too late to read.
The female writer Harper Lee published this novel in 1960 and subsequently won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. Gregorian Parker starred in the movie of the same name in 1962, and later became the Oscar actor in 1963.
Parker in 1962, a 46-year-old gentleman, could hardly see any traces of skills, as if he had walked out of the original book, and blended with the characters based on his true qualities. Don't think outside as a second person.
This is a story about racial discrimination, this is a story about sinister hearts, this is a story about loneliness and courage against a group of foolish people, and this is a story about small people who are crushed by the social environment.
In the final analysis, this is telling the story of a father.
The novel is narrated in the language of a 6-year-old girl, Scout, and the film unfolds from Scout’s perspective: Atticus, a lawyer in a small town in the southern United States, whose wife died young, raised a pair of children alone, and his 10-year-old brother Jim and his 6-year-old sister Scout. Atticus is not as active and strong as other fathers, but he will read to his daughter every night, and he is well-educated to his son. He is a respected white lawyer in the town, relying on a black maid to take care of him.
The content of the story of the still water is mainly about the life in the small town in the eyes of the little girl Scout, and one of the main lines is an injustice case in the summer: a young black man was accused of rape by a white girl, and Atticus served this name. The black defended. In that era, if a white man said that a black man was guilty, then the black man could not escape the crime anyway. Atticus exposed the false accusation in court in front of everyone in the town. In the end, a jury composed of 12 white men still declared the black man guilty.
Because Atticus defended the black people, he was excluded or even threatened by the white people in the town. His children were retaliated against. The children could not understand the absurdity of the adult world. At the end of the book, Atticus still told Xiaoxiao Scout: Most of the people in this world are good people.
It is sinful to kill a robin, because it is sinful to kill innocent people. However, in this world, the appearance of sin always has entangled and complicated antecedents and consequences, always limited by time and space, and always said Unclear ways are helpless, so although sin is still sin, it is always possible that the robin will be killed.
This was the case in 1930 when the story was written, 1960 when the story was written, and it is still the same in 2021: the robin does nothing bad, only sings, never hurts, but kills a robin The possibility always exists.
The only thing humans can do is to realize that killing a robin is a sin.
If one day, everyone can realize this, then maybe the robin will be safe forever.
How can everyone realize this? The role of the father is very important.
It is not that the role of the mother is not important, but since a child needs two parents to give birth, I believe most people will agree that the different roles of the two parents should also be separated during the growth of the child. Under normal circumstances, the two parents should perform their own duties, each with a different focus, so that the child can grow up in a balanced and perfect manner.
The father’s responsibility is to let his children know what to do and what not to do in this world, what is a righteous act that must be persisted, and what is a sin that must not be done.
If the mother's responsibility is more to take care of, then the role of the father should be to lead.
But it is a pity that the gender of a man is not always equal to the role of a father.
If a father doesn’t even know how to go or doesn’t walk well, what kind of guidance can he talk about?
Atticus, a small town lawyer, set a benchmark for a good father.
He is peaceful and kind, firmly believes that everyone is equal in court, and he does not hesitate to offend relatives and friends for this; he is wise and transparent, and he always considers the feelings of others from the perspective of others, knows respect and tolerance; he disciplines his children, takes care of his family, and leads by example. He is not hypocritical; he is also a low-key sharpshooter, killing a staggering mad dog in the street, even if one eye is out of sight, it will not affect his stable performance.
The most important thing is that what he taught his children should or shouldn't, even if he himself is caught in the malicious whirlpool of surrounding groups, even if he faces opposition and dissuasion from relatives and friends, he persists to the end.
There are two places I like very much in the film. They are very rare moments of dominance for the gentle Atticus. One is the shooting mad dog just mentioned:
The other is that Atticus sits in a single chair outside of the black defendant’s detention room to protect him from attacks by whites. In this scene, Atticus didn’t bring any weapons. He only took an illuminated lamp and a chair. He just sat with his feet cocked and read outside the house, without the slightest anger, as if sitting idle at home, but there was something all around him. A spirit stronger than anyone:
With such a father, no matter what happens, there is nothing to be afraid of, right?
Insecure children usually do not have a father who can bring a sense of dependence. Generally speaking, both parents represent the rationality and sensibility of the world. If the mother’s sensibility cannot warm the child, the child may not be easy. Learn how to love; and if the father's rationality can't rely on the child, then the child may go astray when he is panicked and helpless.
Of course, in the end everyone will inevitably have to learn to grow up on their own. The ups and downs of the outside world have to be dealt with by themselves, but if parents can be competent during the growth period, at least this child will have a good impression of the world. , So as to build the necessary confidence, right?
Otherwise, what is the difference between humans and animals?
Even a child can kill a robin by aiming an air gun, but this is a sin that shouldn’t be committed—knowing this, and doing it, is the difference between humans and animals.
It's like a small town in the southern United States in the 1930s. A hardworking and kind black man can be found guilty even if he is falsely accused by a lower-level white man. How easy it is, just like a kid killing a robin in order to practice a gun, but this is Sins that shouldn't be committed.
Atticus told his children that no matter how noble whites are than blacks, it is scumbag to harm innocent blacks only by relying on their white identity. He taught his children this way, and he did the same. He clearly knew that no matter what he did in the local area at the time, it was a must-lost case, and he would still pay his own price. He still insisted on defending black people.
Otherwise, he can no longer face his children.
What a fascinating father is a father who takes the responsibility of facing his children calmly.
Suddenly I thought, in the Chinese legend that Nuwa, who created humans, is the mother, and the God who created the world in foreign religions is the father. Has this caused the difference in the direction of the two civilizations in the East and the West? Did it divide Jingwei from the very beginning: the East inherits perceptually, while the West advocates rationality?
Think far, stop here.
