Back to the classics of the American filmmaking. In a little town somewhere in the South States during the great depression lives a family of a lawyer named Atticus who has two children - a daughter call Scout and son named Jim. There`s a strange guy named Boo Radley living in a neighbour house, weird things are told about his being mad and very dangerous. Also there`s a farmer who`s daughter has been beat up by somebody and a negro called Tim Robinson who`s blamed for the crime. It turns out that the father was the one who attacked his daughter but nothing can convince the jury and Tim Robinson is sentenced guilty after which he sorta commits suicide (he`s dead all right, but it`s not an official suicide). What`s important about the trial it`s that Atticus was the defender of the black man and almost everybody in the rasistic town hated him for that. The whiskey drinking daughter hitter attacks Atticus`es children one night but gets killed by Boo Radley who`s not as bad as people think of him. I really liked the film, I don`t even know why. Perhaps it`s because Atticus loses the trial, because it shows the way people judge other people without even knowing them but only because of their prejudices. By the way, a mockingbird is a bird that sings all the time and does nothing apart from that. Boo Radley is something similar to that.
