    To Kill A Mockingbird Review To Kill A Mockingbird is black and white, long, and based off of a book that most of us were forced to read in middle school. For these reasons, most people my age steer away from the movie. I’ve been warned by my peers to not watch To Kill A Mockingbird because it’s “boring and old and bad.” I watched the movie anyway and I’m so glad that I did.

    reader's perception of the character. For instance, the actress who plays Miss Maudie looks thin, much youthful, and more traditional than Scout described in the book, which takes some of the flare, and personality out of the character. Nonetheless, Gregory Peck, by Lee's own proclamation, embodies the character of Atticus Finch, which presents the character a far more increased depth than the book, singly, can provide. Furthermore, the film adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird includes every…

    The main point of the film is to display the era of the 1930s and how racism, prejudice and injustice reigned in the United States, the real America. I believe the purpose of this particular film was to display and promote the comparison of killing a mocking bird to executing an innocent individual. In the film the comparison is to an African American male, Tom Robinson. A main character named Atticus Finch declares in a conversation, "I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the backyard, but I…
