A premium classic

Rating: 8/10 (26 November 2015)

Cognizant of my manifold rich taste in movies, a dear friend had unsuccessfully tried to convince me for many years to watch "To Kill a Mocking Bird". I finally got around to watching it, now thats its available on Netflix. Here are my two cents about the movie. The only other American classic I've watched is "12 angry men" and it seems that the slow narrative cinematography was the zeitgeist But there is no doubt in my mind that this is an epic movie. The first three quarters of the movie took me back to my childhood. The mannerisms and the social setting was very similar. "Scout", "Jem" and "Dill's" artlessness was extremely charming. Don't misconstrue my review, it was not only humorous and affable but carried a very strong and pertinent message for the era
