It’s hard to see a new movie like this old and classic movie in one breath, and it’s still not addictive. The story of "Killing a Mockingbird" is plain and plain, but it’s clear and clear. Unfolding the story from the perspective of a child has a fatal appeal. "Robin" in the movie symbolizes kindness and innocence. The name of the movie can be understood as "how do people kill good and innocent", explaining the impact of killing "robins" on children's outlook on life and the world. There are two "robins" in the movie. One is innocent, the black man who was wrongly guilty of rape and died. This is related to the issue of racial discrimination in American society at that time. It is a bit profound and not much to be discussed; the other It’s just kind. It’s the neighbor who was demonized by the children without communicating with outsiders. In fact, he is an extremely kind person and he likes the children very much. It was he who saved the two protagonists in times of crisis. Also won the recognition of the protagonist child.

Tom Robinson: I can't use my left hand at all. I got it caught in a cotton gin when I was twelve years old. All my muscles were tore loose.

[testifying]
Tom Robinson: Well, I said I best be goin', I couldn't do nothin' for her, an' she said, oh, yes I could. An' I asked her what, and she said to jus' step on the chair yonder an' git that box down from on top of the chifforobe. So I done like she told me, and I was reachin' when the next thing I know she... grabbed me aroun' the legs.
[a murmur erupts in the courthouse]
Tom Robinson: She scared me so bad I hopped down an' turned the chair over. That was the only thing, only furniture 'sturbed in the room, Mr. Finch, I swear, when I left it... Mr. Finch, I got down off the chair, and I turned around an' she sorta jumped on me. She hugged me aroun' the waist. She reached up an' kissed me on the face. She said she'd never kissed a grown man before an' she might as well kiss me. She says for me to kiss her back.
[Tom shakes his head, re-living the ordeal with his eyes half-closed]
Tom Robinson: And I said, Miss Mayella, let me outta here, an' I tried to run. Mr. Ewell cussed at her from the window and said he's gonna kill her.
