A Very Powerful, Very Meaningful Classic

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2005)

Screen legend Gregory Peck lights up the screen and steals the show in To Kill A Mockingbird. This is the classic movie based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel. The story is very powerful as it shows how a white lawyer named Aticus Finch (Gregory Peck) defends a black man accused of rape in a racially divided town. The story also shows how he raises his children. He has a tomboy daughter named Scout, and an intelligent son named Jeremy. The meaning of To Kill A Mockingbird is great, but you have to watch it to figure out what the meaning of this classic film is. The character development is great as we see how Aticus Finch deals with his job difficulties, as well as life difficulties. Scout learns how to deal with people in her way, and Jeremy learns that as brave as he is, there is still danger and evil in the world.
To Kill A Mockingbird is a classic and is wonderfully acted. Everyone should see this movie, whether they're young or old. Even though this is in black and white, kids might still enjoy watching it.
