Film Review To Kill a Mockingbird is probably one of the most argumentative and political movies that I know. To Kill a Mockingbird is also one of my favorite classical movies and is the reason why I picked to review the concepts of this film. In addition, I read the book To Kill a Mockingbird in high school before watching the movie. Reading the book did not give me the full picture of racism then what the film gave me.

The story To Kill a Mockingbird takes place in and small town in Maycomb, Alabama in the early 1900s.

This story is very inspirational and everyone should read it, or watch it so that racism will be only a part of the
