Great subjects presentations and weaving the two of them together

Rating: 8/10 (10 October 2014)

The movie opens mildly, looking like a children's adventure movie. Then little by little the more serious theme of racial prejudice seeps in and gain more focus until the touching transition scene with Atticus and the country folk after Tom. The scene really was great both emotionally and technically. It transitions smoothly from the children adventure subject to the serious rape charge clouded in racial prejudice subject. Emotionally, the scene may have stirred something in people's minds about what they were doing wrong; the racial segregation issue. Gregory Peck acted quite flat on the expressions, but his dialog and body language parts are quite good.
