The Best Picture of 1962

Rating: 9/10 (26 August 2009)

I am absolutely a fan of the Oscars Best Picture winners, and I make sure that i only purchase a DVD copy of the winners. However, my perspective changed when I stumbled upon a copy of "To Kill A Mockingbird". I've heard it from a certain TV show and I immediately got interested. Little was to know that I would consider it as one of the greatest pictures I've seen so far. The story is simple but the moral is timeless. The execution is flawless, and the cinematography is somewhat nostalgic. It really made me cry in the scene where Peck is leaving the courtroom. It made me feel sad, confused and mad at the same time. I haven't seen "Lawrence of Arabia", but i bet that "...mockingbird" has put up a good fight. (both were nominated for the Best Picture category of 1962). I definitely will recommend it to my children someday.
