To Kill a Mockingbird Review

Rating: 9/10 (15 November 2016)

When I read this book back in middle school I instantly fell in love with the story. Coming from someone who hates reading, that means a lot. When I found out that there was a film about the book I was presently surprised. This film does such a great job depicting the story to its fullest potential. This I felt would be hard to do because there are so many story lines you can follow. I felt the cinematography was excellent throughout the film. In particular, the court scenes were always put together with true artistic abilities. The way camera angles and lighting was used really brought a strong presence to the scene that I wouldn't have been able to get from just reading the book. Gregory Peck does an absolutely incredible job of playing the character Atticus, the family man/lawyer trying his best to show his kids right from wrong. Only makes sense that he was the winner of the Best Actor Oscar because of his performance in this film. Overall, one of my favorite films I have seen.
