Watch To Kill a Mockingbird For Free

One of my all time favorites.

Nice effects though.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Listen, there's nothing wrong with changing a few things in an adaptation of a book, but really? If you haven't read the book, but you seen the movie, you're probably thinking "oh this is a pretty good movie", but if you've ready the book, get read for a dissapointment. The acting is good, but it's not entirely faithful to the book and that's what is bothering me. This movie is definitely not bad, it is watchable, but it is mediocre in my mind.

'To Kill A Mockingbird (1962)' has held up remarkably well over the years, perhaps most due to its faithful representation of Harper Lee's timeless source novel. It boasts brilliant performances - including surprisingly good turns from the first-time child actors - and beautifully crisp black-and-white cinematography. While the movie isn't quite as successful as the book, as usually is the case, it's still an enjoyable tale that acts as an important and enduring cry against prejudice in all its forms. 8/10

I just finished watching this movie and I wish I could get those 2 hours back, somehow. I'm a screenwriter and I have to admit that after viewing this "scramble", I'd like to spend some time trying to fix it, but I'm afraid that it would take way too much time. My favor character was by far, Scout! She has so much spunk and stands up for herself as I'd want my daughter to do. Mr. Atticka Finch was indeed a southern gentleman and a great lawyer. Unfortunately, in that time and place, (which I grew up in) there was no way a Black man would have won that case. So that much was sadly real and true. The court action started well, but fell apart because it was way too long. I can believe that they took Tom to a different location for his safety and murdered him. That was a common practice in the south. But what happened to the kids in the woods coming home at night was totally confusing. And who was the white man hiding behind the door after the fact? Who exactly was he supposed to be? This movie was very poorly done and I would not recommend it to anyone, even my worst enemy. I hate it when I have more questions about a movie while the end credits are rolling. Don't waste your time.

Hate to use the cliché - not as good as the book. What's the right way to criticize a classic such as this? Well, to dull the critique lets get done with the obvious - Peck is impeccable as Atticus Finch, who is perhaps the nicest nice guy in American fiction. Where the movie disappoints (in comparison with the book) is in generous omissions, some areas of over-emphasis, and some downright erroneous messaging.Omissions: The entire Ms.Dubose episode is omitted. That part brought out Finch's sense of fairness and Jem's growing up. The conflicts within Finch's family on his taking up the Robinson case are down away with. Jem, Scout and Dill really do not have that much to do in the movie as they do in the book. Calpurina has nothing to do in the movie (the church portion isn't part of the movie's script) whereas in the book, her influence on the children is substantial.Over-emphasis: The courtroom scene dominates. The movie rushes to the trial, stays there for a while, and removes much of the subtlety the book had in this portion in favor of drama.Lost messaging: Per the movie, only the Ewell's are downright racist, the mob that tries to lynch Tom Robinson is incidentally racist, and the rest of the town is ambivalent. The book brought out how lonely Finch was in his stand. Also, beyond racism, Finch's morality and humanism doesn't quite come out. About 3-4 lines in the book that really brought out everything about him are sacrilegiously omitted in the movie - the part where he says the one thing that does not abide by majority opinion is a person's conscience. The scene between him and Scout is there, but those words, those golden words are not.Worth a one time watch but if you love the book, you will be disappointed. Fair warning.
