Robert Mulligan killed a mockingbird

Rating: 1/10 (1 November 2007)

We, as an 11th grade class, feel that Harper Lee's masterpiece was butchered! The putrid attempt to make a movie from such a great work of American literature was not successful. We have gotten together and listed our grievances: 1. Boo Radley- His general character was underdeveloped throughout the whole movie. 2. Atticus- His portrayal did not do Atticus Finch justice. 3. Where were Aunt Alexandra, Dolphus Raymond, Scout's teachers, and Uncle Jack? 4. Calpurnia- I have never seen such horrible casting in all my life! 5. Who thought it was a good idea to cast a chimp to play Dill? 6. We feel the most interesting and important parts of the book were completely left out such as Miss Maudie's house catching on fire, Cal taking the kids to First Purchase, the kids reading to Mrs. DuBose, and countless other morals and noteworthy situations and characters. We, as a class, are wondering if the director even read the book.
