hello weirdo

I find it hard to judge a 1960s movie by contemporary standards. It is estimated that due to the time limit, the movie omitted a lot of classic scenes, but the lines and scenes are still highly restored to the original work, and I did not let me fall in the place where I should cry.

Of course, other than Parker, who else can interpret Atticus, the righteous, kind and fearless gentleman. The people of their Finch family must be proud of each other.

There are too many moving characters in the novel, Scooter, Jem, Calpurnia, Mrs. Dubose, Miss Maudie... But the most impressive is the eccentric Radley. If Atticus is the sun, the oddball is like the wind that blows away the dark clouds in the night sky, allowing us to see through the starlight whether the road ahead is dangerous. And Scooter's "Hello, weirdo" will always bring tears to your eyes.

    C / I don't quite understand why this memoir narrative, which exists only as a cumbersome text, has caused a lot of misleading to the audience. The most direct drawback is to cover up the existing dual perspectives of children/adults. Fortunately, this kind of perspective tension is still drawn through the control of the narrative rhythm. The stray and bizarre experience of childhood summer and the court drama of the adult world with strict distribution of space form a completely different time quality. But the flaw is still there. The part of the adult world is described as being too regular to be able to separate the two worlds enough before they collide. The ending is indeed a clever pen to disturb the tone: the disoriented child emerges from the thick cocoon and encounters another parasitic, summoned "ghost" over time.

    The language of the shot can be called a model, and the conversion of the shot repeatedly uses superimposed effects; the children’s part of the story is full of tension and suspense, which spurs the audience’s appetite; the court trial, like other court trials, is inevitable preaching and sensational. Fortunately, time not long.

To Kill a Mockingbird quotes

  • Atticus Finch: There are some things that you're not old enough to understand just yet. There's been some high talk around town to the effect that I shouldn't do much about defending this man.

    Scout: If you shouldn't be defending him, then why are you doing it?

    Atticus Finch: For a number of reasons. The main one is that if I didn't, I couldn't hold my head up in town. I couldn't even tell you or Jem not to do somethin' again.

    [he puts his arm around her]

    Atticus Finch: You're gonna hear some ugly talk about this in school. But I want you to promise me one thing: That you won't get into fights over it, no matter what they say to you.

  • 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. I went and got my daddy to come out and thank you. I go to school with your boy. I go to school with Walter; he's a nice boy. Tell him 'hey' for me, won't you? You know something, Mr. Cunningham, entailments are bad. Entailments...

    [She suddenly becomes self-conscious]

    Scout: Atticus, I was just saying to Mr. Cunningham that entailments were bad but not to worry. Takes a long time sometimes...

    [to the men who are staring up at her]

    Scout: What's the matter? I sure meant no harm, Mr. Cunningham.
