The Way Lawyers Should Be

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2009)

Beyond the classic book and classic film, "To Kill A Mockingbird" indulges us to stay on our moral toes, without preaching.
As a nation, and still a young one at that, we have endured growing pains that has left us with far too much blood on our hands, as well as embarrassment and shame. But that's not all we are. We live in a nation where our revolution has never ended, because we continue to move forward and work diligently make things right - for all Americans. And for a moment, this film, through the actions of a great man in Atticus Finch, does his best to bring common sense, reason and wisdom to a place where the true power of our freedoms has taken a back seat to bigotry. But this isn't one man's fight, many others agree with the upstanding lawyer, thus avoiding any stereotypes.
This excellent film is powerful in its subtlety. Watch it and think of how far we've come as a people.
