I don't know when and how this book was on my want-to-read list, but I just know that I haven't deleted it yet and maybe it's time to look for it. It happens that the work is not too heavy recently. Although I can't find the original book for a while, I am glad that many classic works now have movies that can be seen anytime, anywhere.
Black and white films have always had a sense of age for me, and a feeling that this film must be trustworthy. The year 1962 was relatively unfamiliar to me, but when I think about it, it was only 60 years ago. Many problems that existed in society at that time may still exist today, and many human empathy will not change much.
One of the reasons I like foreign movies is that I like the atmosphere of their lives. It is said that the yard is not big. The family takes what they want from the large plate of food, and the father calls the children on the swing from the window. When you come into the house, every frame of the scene is full of warmth. I also like the portrayal of family in this film, although it seems to be a traditionally incomplete family, but the gentle father will be harsh after his young daughter fights at school, and will be gentle at night before going to bed to tell them a bedtime story. Respect children as independent individuals, do not restrict them from expressing their own ideas, and do not restrict them from having a free and happy childhood. In the bits and pieces of their family's daily life, it provides viewers with a way of thinking about family education. Although To Kill a Mockingbird is based on the main line of white lawyers fighting for blacks, it covers racial discrimination, social justice, group life, family education and many other aspects. It is full and full, compact but not heavy.
The scene where the people from the small town gathered in the courtroom and saw the true story of the case, but still convicted the black man, was the most disturbing scene to me. Courage is knowing that you will lose, but not turning back. Although people say that it is the safest to choose the road that most people take, if this road is really wrong, do we have the courage to take another secluded path, and will we tell that one? You people on the road are wrong. In fact, I can understand very well that the older people are, the less they dare to try and make mistakes, because there are so many things on their backs, and their ability to bear the unknown is also weak, but I think that lawyers were once children, and there will always be a kind of Persevere, tell yourself to try, to be bold. When we are young, we have more future, shouldn't we be braver?
"Why is it a sin to kill a robin, maybe it's because they don't do anything bad except bring people a beautiful song."
"It seems to me that it is a sin for a man who has done so much for the people and for this town to be ashamed to the public."
