Review of to kill a mockingbird broadway8/11/2023 ![]() ![]() I know a lot of people think the acting isn’t great, but I disagree! Gregory Peck is AMAZING and his acting does justice to the amazing character that is Atticus, and Jem Dill and Scout are fun and innocent yet have the ability to be serious and the young actors live up to their roles perfectly. Boo Radley’s story is fun to watch and one of the best parts of the movie. He does the right thing despite peer pressure. Atticus is a great roll model because he is kind, loves his family, and defends a black man at a time when black people were looked down on. You can tell that Jem loves and is protective of his little sister. Jem, Scout and Atticus make a great and loving family. However, there are many good things about this movie! It is one of my favorite films. At the end the police blames it on suicide when it really wasn’t. Scout is ok, Jem is fine but just breaks his arm, and their chaser is stabbed and killed. A person (I won’t say who because it would spoil it) chases Jem and Scout through the woods at knight with a knife. The end might be too intense for some viewers. Also, Mayella’s dad is creepy when Atticus is visiting Tom’s family and Mr. This is way too mature for kids, but also Mayella’s testimony is very graphic and I suggest skipping over it. the whole plot revolves around the rape of a white girl. Explain to them how the only reason they say that in the movie is because many people didn’t know it was bad at the time, but it’s still not good to say then or now. I don’t suggest watching this with a young kid, but if you do, you should talk to them first about why it’s not ok to use those words especially the n word. There are some things you should look out for, such as: This movie is one of my favorite movies ever, so good and heartfelt. Just keep in mind I am a kid writing this just using my mom’s account.

In the movie's powerful courtroom scenes, the rape of an impoverished young White woman is discussed in detail, and over the course of the trial, abuse (and possibly incest) is implied at the hands of her father. The "N" word is used as a weapon by the lead villain, and when young Scout Finch (Mary Badham) uses the word because kids at her school are using it, her father explains why she should never use it. Its powerful evocation of racism and bigotry in 1930s Alabama remains relevant today, as do the themes of empathy, compassion, and justice sought by Atticus Finch ( Gregory Peck). Parents need to know that To Kill a Mockingbird is the award-winning 1962 film adaptation of the classic Harper Lee novel. ![]()
