Group prejudice precedes truth and justice, but so-called democracy is inferior to individual reason. When I read the original book a few years ago, I thought it was a work "about the nature of children". I was really shocked after watching the movie. This black and white movie with a duration of 02:09:11 refreshed the rankings in my heart. . The amazing opening childhood memories are flat and straightforward, the language of the shots is too beautiful, and the transitions are fluent and skillful. The protagonist Gregory's warm and magnetic standard American pronunciation makes people feel like they are listening to a piece of pure music, which is refreshing. I don't know if other movie lovers are like me, but naturally I like Gregory very much, whether it is teaching my daughter and son, or obligation. Looking back at justice for black people, or being spat on by Ewell's nature, they all show a gentleman's demeanor and aristocratic temperament. Every little plot in the film is not deliberately arranged perfectly, which is almost an interpretation of his childhood. I have to say that this is also a very healing film. I like the three scenes in the film the most. They are a few children who are curious about their father guarding the gate of the prison and stalking their father. And the psychology of wanting to protect his father is vividly portrayed; the first floor of the court building is empty, and only the second floor is reserved for black people. All stand up to pay tribute to Gregory, showing the status and image of the black group in this era; eccentric "Lidley and Scout met, and the sincerity, kindness, and trust that erupted from holding hands made people feel that life was actually that simple... This movie released in 1962 must be hard to compare to the more and more commercialized movies today.

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.
