To Kill a Mockingbird is about the changes happening in America during the 1930's

Rating: 9/10 (6 December 2014)

such a good film and shows a lot of problems and issues that were happening in the time era. As the film goes on it gets a lot more interesting and shows the effect of the great depression that was happening in America in the 1930s, which many people don't really know about. Atticus Finch is a very 'different' character as he believes in equality for his children as he believes Scout should be aloud to wear trousers and play with her brother. Atticus also makes the decision to defend a black man in court, when during that era was unusual, however Atticus believed that people should be equal and was against the way black people were treated which is why he defended Tom Robinson in court.
