To Kill a Mockingbird

"This movie and the book it's from, profoundly touched my life and how I saw the world as a child. It still effects me to this day, all these years since my first viewing. I try to rewatch it often but it's been awhile. Then I ran across it on a classic channel on YouTube and low and behold, I was pulled in once more. Highly recommended. I will say if you are easily offended by the language from those times, tread lightly. "

"What a great book and film. Gregory peck embodies hero Atticus finch with dignity and grace. I believe he won the Oscar for this role as he should have. A classic that should not be skipped."

"not the most remarkable. I like the book better. the actor who plays Atticus is super hot, though, which makes the film a bit better!"

"Such a classic!"

"I absolutely love ❤️ this movie. It’s a masterpiece and a perfect 10 out of 10. Great cast and wonderful plot. "

"An enthralling, rich tale of the times. I love the breaking of stereotypes and the message of love that under lies this classic film."

"Great film for its time, but it feels slow now. Acting is fantastic! Plot is very engaging (and follows the book pretty well, a nice touch for the book purists). Everyone should see it, even if it’s hard to keep your attention. ⚖️"

"Great cast. Great storyline. "

"While a pale comparison to the novel, and only truly dealing with one, and arguably the less imminent social message present in the original novel; To Kill A Mockingbird is a classic film, and a true revolutionary of it’s time. While the books central them is lost ( that of a young 20th century girl in the south) its representation of the character Atticus Finch and what he stands for is timeless and probably the best casting of all time. Whenever I picture Atticus in the novel it’s in the likeness of Gregory Peck. That being said, as I mentioned before the central theme of the novel is not only suppressed but essentially gutted and cut from the film entirely. What remains is a civil rights film I guess, I understand what they were going for here, and it’s certain admirable, with standout performances all across the board. Robert Duvall pretty much debuting here, as well as the actors for Tom ala Brock Peters(with a effing exceptional performance mind you) as well as his opposites the ‘victim’ and her father (Collin Horne & James Anderson), albeit a little hamfisted and over-the-top as movie racists go, their performances especially the daughter garners real emotion. Highly recommend giving it a read first but if not, it’s a strong movie nonetheless. "

"It's beautiful, sad, and real. I agree, this classic needs to be on everyone's list!"
