There are no robins in To Kill a Mockingbird

Just finished watching this movie. Watching this movie was purely accidental. After eating, I opened WeChat and found that someone in the group had posted a link to the movie, so I went to watch it. The film's first discovery of Gregory Pike's name is good. The first time I knew this man from "Roman Holiday". The movie can be viewed from several dimensions. One is the perspective of children, living with their father and understanding the world through the interaction with the people around them. The father is going to work, the siblings and their summer friends are exploring the neighborhood, going to the court, and then being stopped and followed. Living in such an environment is both thrilling and exciting. I originally wanted to show it to the children, but I found that it was actually a bit inappropriate, because there were uncomfortable places in it. Another point of view is the father, who found that the father was raising two children alone. Although he hired a nanny, he did not ignore it. He not only worked and read to the children, but also performed his duties as a lawyer to help others get rid of accusations. The third dimension finds work. Discovering a career as a lawyer is not particularly easy. The work environment is depressing. The fourth is that the environment is good. It's nice to live in that environment. Every family has a big house, and the neighbor relationship is good. Also, the movie is called To Kill a Mockingbird, but it doesn't feature a bird at all. Everyone sees the world from a different angle, and I just find what I want to discover from it. For another person, for him, the movie is another story. At the right time, something suitable for you appears. When the time is right, the feeling is right. I've heard the name of this movie before, but I didn't take any action. It appeared today, and I watched it naturally, without forcing it. That's pretty good.

To Kill a Mockingbird quotes

  • 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.
