The movie feels more blunt and not as exciting as the book

I pay more attention to the childhood of the children in the book, but the movie is not that exciting. Dill Bucktooth Scooter and Jem really look uncomfortable. The actor who walks basically runs by Atticus gives me the impression that it is Roman Holiday. At first, the male protagonists who wanted to use the princess to get a sum of money were also different from what they imagined, but they haven't finished watching it. The most anticipation is that they saw snow for the first time and made a snowman together. Scooter said that the snow is hot Jem made Scooter follow his footprints or else wasted snow. Went to Miss Maudie's house to borrow snow and brought in five baskets of soil from the backyard to make skeletons out of twigs. So cute anyway.

I really like these kids Atticus in the novel

First time writing a short review, first time reading a novel and then watching a movie

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.
