Diary entries forTo Kill a Mockingbird
To Kill a Mockingbird
This courtroom drama isn’t really a courtroom drama at all, as only a few scenes are actually set in a courtroom. It’s more a tale of innocence and tragedy than anything else, and acts as a great reminder of times one gone. The sad and depressing nature of the reality set in this film can still easily be seen today, and reminds us we should always be the better man.

55/100 One of the few books I’ve actually read and it’s a wonderful story but this film’s pacing is just unbearably slow, especially the first half of the film, it’s quite a bore. They ended alright.

To Kill a Mockingbird
Just finished the book a few days ago so it was cool to compare. I’ll start by saying that the book is miles better, but this was still a very good adaption. The biggest issue I have is with how much got cut out. There’s an entire year that gets left out which sacrifices a lot of character plot points, specifically for Scout and Jem. To be fair, it’s very clear that the movie is not as focused on Scout and Jem as the book was. Atticus is much more of the main character even though adult Scout is still the narrator. I know that they didn’t want to make it too long, but there were definitely some things that would’ve been nice to include. Besides that it was a very solid adaptation and the cast was wonderful. Gregory Peck was perfectly cast. Amazing performance from him. The 4K transfer that was done from Universal looked stunning. So much detail. 8/10
To Kill a Mockingbird
Small town America, swamped with its 1930s poverty and perspectives and country folk. Every child with their marbles and crayons; listening and following inside the home of their parents. White folk, black folk. Mockingbirds singing sweet serenades. Its close-up and intimate in the beginning; childlike hums run in the background as the camera presses in on drawings, toys, and paper- and then it softly transitions to the lives of two kids and their father. The connection is both separate and close, and by the time the film ends, it's all seamlessly wrapped in a bow of triumph. To Kill a Mockingbird is seen through the eyes of these children and through each step is tantalizing to watch. Part coming-of-age and part courtroom drama, confronting racism and prejudice, this is surprisingly powerful stuff. 4.3/5
