Remains True With The Book

Rating: 9/10 (13 March 2007)

Atticus Finch, a lawyer in the Depression-era South, defends a black man against an undeserved rape charge, and his kids against prejudice. The kids also tries to have a look a Arthur 'Boo' Radley, who is known to stay at his house without ever coming out.
Some scenes were not in the movie that were in the book, which made me disappointed. I know people say that the movie is never exactly like the book but there were really rushing things. It felt like a short movie.
Although it has some flaws, I would like to say there were some memorable scenes and great portrayal of the characters in the book. One memorable scene is the court scene, of course. That's the scene where Atticus Finch, Gregory Peck, makes his famous speech.
The acting by Gregory Peck is fantastic winning him an Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role. Others like Mary Badham and Phillip Alford are believable, which I really find useless in the book and in the film. Well, perhaps they were to make the film not so dark.
This film is fantastic, with great acting but has its flaws. Still, it's one of the best movies and should be seen.
