Yes. *I read the novel (To Kill a Mockingbird) before the movie;* therefore, I took the _novel's descriptions for the characters - and implemented it._ Yet, I found that the movie _captured the character's appearances well, as well._ They chose a talented set of actors to play the character roles.

However, that certainly does not alter my opinion for this film. It surely did capture the character's archetypes well; with additional memorization on point. It was enjoyable to watch and read.
Yeah Atticus was a Total badass testimony for the Black guy. This WHOLE Court is a DAMN LIE. Real World will teach me to deal with real White Criminals or anyone. This is why no one can be trusted. That WHITE LADY WAS A LIE. IN WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL LEARNING THIS. White Lady is a total Crazy Pschyomaniac. Put her in JAIL.
Geoffrey Oliver One of the most powerful courtroom cinema scenes ever. She was a tragic character. Tragic in that she was enmired in the venom of her era, community, and most critically--father.
I don't know how true this is but I read somewhere (can't remember now as it was years ago when I read the book in English lit class) that Collin Wilcox the actress who played Mayella was either civil rights activist or at least involved in civil rights and when she attended an NAACP conference people really believed she was like Mayella and they had to be reminded that she was there because she believed in the cause and was only playing a part in the movie and Mayella's character in no way reflected her real life beliefs.
Michael Myers IKR!!! At first when my teacher told us we have to read it I was like "I'm not reading this bullshit!!!". but when i realized I had to, I did. It turned out to to be not so bad!
We were watching this in my class and some boy in the back whispered, "Dang, Atticus is hot!" Normally I don't agree with him about anything, but he has a point lol 😂
@@LiamS1947 Not really. Atticus is just "Athenian" in Latin. That only came decades after both the book and movie were made. And Finch requires no explanation because it's all about bird allusions and freedom in this novel.
It’s obvious Mayella was lying and atom was telling the truth. Atticus knew it, but didn’t hold anything against Mayella because he knew and understood her horrible situation and her horrible home life.
Well, she HAS had some pretty rough 19 years! Mayella lives in the most disgusting, poorest home in town with the most disgusting, poorest father imaginable.
I was born in the 60's, during the time of race riots and people seeking freedom. I remember my school showing this movie to all of us kids. Was very powerful. Way ahead of it's time. Atticus was a single father, raising 2 children during the depression. He was stern, honest, compassionate, loving. Just allowing his children to call him by his first name, allowing them to grow into who they were was before it's time. The kids begin to know who their father is when he does things they thought he was incapable of doing. Like being the "Best shot in the County". Maybe served in WW1. His hatred for fighting and the "N" word. Allowing clients to pay with what they could afford. Many moments that were outstanding. When the kids save Atticus from the mob, by a child's innocence. The Balcony standing and the Reverand saying to Miss Gene Louise(Scout), "Stand up, your Fathers passing". When Atticus find out from Sheriff Tate that Tom was killed. His back was to the camera. You could see his brokenness just by looking at him, as he turns toward the front porch. And when he gave Boo Radley, his respect and gratitude by saying, this is Mr. Arthur Radley. Giving him his due respect as a man, no matter what his mental state was. When Scout walks him to his front porch, and back home Atticus lifts her onto his lap and holds her. As a boy, man, and father, his actions and compassion has stayed with me my whole life.
Mayella isn't attractive because thy never really stated that she was drop-dead gorgeous in the book. The movie isn't focused on beautiful people taking every role, which makes it seem so much more realistic.
I just saw the movie...but what that heck is the point?? is not a racism movie...nop..i didnt see it like that....its not a story about a fater loving his kids...neither a story about kids remembering their childhood??? what in the mother of f*** is this movie about?? it never goes "that" deep on the racist issue. I get the mockingbird metaphor....but?? what that hell...i was expecting more "racism" subjects on this movie before seen it. I think is kind overrated. And people love it, cause its a book that they read in school.
koshi loco It is a book about prejudice. As author Harper Lee said in an interview, "My book has a universal theme, it’s not a ‘racial’ novel. It portrays an aspect of civilization. I tried to show the conflict of the human soul-reduced to its simplest terms. It’s a novel of man’s conscience . . . universal in the sense that it could happen to anybody, anywhere people live together…"
I will admit that I had to go back a few times to hear what Mayella said, because crying, screaming Mayella is rather difficult to understand, but I figured out what she said, especially when I was wearing earphones. I dunno; maybe I can figure out what screaming actors are saying, because I can desipher John Rambo's mental breakdown. lol
Tom Brewer You need to understand in 1963 they didn't use casts on broken arms, they just put it back in place if you didn't have any money. And I'm pretty sure Tom was very poor
She was in a.episode of Twilight Zone too, where she had to pick 2 different styles of what Beauty was, can't remember the name of the episode, and Tom , played by Brock Peters, is a fine actor himself
I realized something when Mayella was yelling that if the court didn't believe what she accused Tom of, they were nothing more than cowards. While she definitely was referring to Tom in this case, I wonder if she was also subconsciously letting her anger and frustration at anyone who didn't try to help her poor situation when she was a child, given that her family was mocked and ignored by the whole town just for being related to Bob Ewell, and in doing so they did nothing to protect her or her siblings from his neglect or their poor living conditions.
Mayella was not just a single character but a type of person, as all of the characters in the novel were. She represented the abused passing along her abuse to others who were abused even more than she. All to the amusement of power people.
The town did try to help the ewells. They let bob hunt out of season to feed his family and they brought them food and other supplies at Christmas. The Ewells are unable to help themselves since Bob, his parents and children are/have been too stuck in their ways to change.
I think you're right, and there's a line in the book they cut out of the film that strongly implies Bob Ewell sexually abuses Mayella (in Tom's testimony, he says she said she's never kissed a man and "what her daddy do to her don't count") so everything she said about "that man" taking advantage of her while the fancy folk ignored it would be absolutely true if she pointed at her father rather than Tom.
@@whispersinthewinds8641 Well technically a human is a mammal and in return is an animal so it could be used in that terminalogy. But maybe that person didn't know there was a difference there still isn't any reason to call them a dumbass
she cant get her damn story straight because her father did it to her for hugging tom. and her father told her to blame it on tom but she was so scared she couldn't get the story straight
There is a gravitas in Gregory Peck's acting in this movie that I don't know we can find again in American actors of this generation. This is the difference between the eras of film making: actors today are chosen and promoted based on a perceived box office draw, not on acting talent or training. I think this does the art of film making a disservice and the evidence is seen in how many British actors who have undergone the process of training at British acting schools take up the great dramatic roles of the last 20 years, culminating in Daniel Day-Lewis earning his Oscar for playing Lincoln.
Actor's back then were also chosen for their box office draw. The difference was that box-office draw wasn't as quantifiable back then (because there were fewer metrics to go on) and cinema held a larger share of people's leisure attention, which meant that there was more ambiguity and leeway to favor actors who were "better for the role."
1:00 See how Mayella jumped? She's been driven into such a pitiful state by all the cruelty around her. Mayella was almost as much a victim as Tom and it makes me sick!
@@cybercriminal3110 she was also beaten and abused by her father. Both Mayella and Tom are victims in their own way. The real criminal and cruel person is Bob Ewell.
This is for the book and movie point of view speaking like a detective or sum,When she had her eyes wide open, that’s when she knew she been caught lying, I mean my great uncle’s right arm muscles torn loose and I can see he can barely use it, what kind of “rapist” she calls Him uses one arm to do it
It's kinda sad knowing that, of all the original cast members in this movie, only three are still with us. Robert Duvall, Phillip Alvord, and Mary Badham.
Bro, this honestly was one of the best books I’ve read In English, I low key miss 9th grade because I remember reading to kill a mocking bird and then talking to my friend about what’s gonna happen next
Pity there is so little of Brock Peters on UA-cam. As a kid watching him he always intrigued me: there was something noble and tragic about him, like a King in exile. Maybe it was the roles he was given, he was born in the wrong time and skin, or the African American was too classical for Hollywood. A piece of heaven would be owning a library of audio books narrated by that hypnotic voice.
Collin Wilcox the actress that played Mayella was actually heavy into Civil Rights activism. One year she attended a NAACP conference and received very dirty looks. People had to be reminded that she is an actress and that was a role she was playing. Sometimes when an actress plays a role so good it's hard for some folks to decipher between that actor/actress and the role that they play.
A film classic in every truest sense of the word. If ever someone asked me whether I would read the book or watch the film, I'll be like "Watch the film, man!"
absolutely incredible acting from collin wilcox, perfectly encapsulates a breakdown of a lie/liar. so sad she hasn't been retrospectively acclaimed for this
@@aspiknf good chance they're referring to steven crowder? He's a Republican/Libertarian and is really popular for his shows called "Change my Mind" where he talks to strangers on issues and stuff. But they may not be referring to him, just a guess
when i was in high school, i remember hating this book so much. in fact, i didn't even read it. but now that i'm older, i wish i had appreciated it more. i do now, and i now see how powerful this story is and why it's always apart of the english curriculum. so kids: appreciate and read all the books you have to read in high school! you'll learn to appreciate it later.
What I don't understand is why loads of you are calling Mayella a fake b*tch. If she didn't say all those things then she was going to be beaten and abused even more by her father. She was acting out of fear not hate.
I know that and I'm not trying to say what she did was right but that if she had the choice without any influence from her father I sincerely doubt she would have chosen to prosecute him.
Okay, let's say she did say that it was her father who rapes and beats her. The police would get involved take away her siblings, distribute them into different homes. They would all be split up. Also, had she told the truth, she would have been shunned from the community even more than she already is because she tried to seduce a black man. She would be an even greater outsider than she already is! Finally, from an outside perspective, it is clearly a bad situation without her having to confess about her father, yet the police have done nothing to help, so what faith does she have in the police that they will do anything about it? Now add the fear of her father... of course she's going to lie! Now I'm not saying that what she did was right, she was still throwing away a man's life! But from her perspective, she didn't know she had another choice.... I'm going to be playing Mayella at my local theater, so I have been studying and analyzing her character for the past few months.
You can hear in her voice how bad her life is. Just like in the novel her brother Burris shouts obscenities at the teacher that he obviously learned listening to his dad curse at mayella. Likewise when a much smaller student comes to her defense Burris is scared of the much smaller child. If he is afraid of a smaller younger male imagine how scared he must be when his father goes off on him or his siblings.
bought this book around the start of this week and now im on this page of the book 👏 the trial was my favorite part even though the outcome was extremely unpleasant
I just watched it today as a 29 year old, I love everything about the movie from the protagonist portrayed marvelously by Mr gregory , the children and the rest of the supporting cast.
I read this book in high school and remember being very bored with it I’m 26 now and just recently reread it and I can say I think it’s one of the best books ever written.
I remember one time I didn't know what Atticus' name was, so I called him "Abacus" and then the person I was talking to replied "well he's really good at counting. And you can always count on him."
There is also a sharp contradiction in the book. She testifies that her father ran in the room screaming "who was it?", but he claims earlier that he looked in through the window and got a clear look of who it was. These two statement clash... such a wasted opportunity for his closing speech.
Yes, this has been bothering me too. Did Lee mean this to be seen as an oversight by Atticus? If so, it is surprising that Jem did not spot the anomaly. Or is it just a "mistake" by Lee? Puzzling.
It's not an oversight since Atticus was fighting the jury's prejudice. He refuted their testimony in the cross examination but asked the jury to believe Tom's testimony.
It really didn't matter. They were going to convict no matter what. A black man raped a white woman. Even though the family were the worst kind of white people. Heck Tate even says at the end about Boo "he did this town a great service" by offing Bob Ewell. It was still the south, still white vs. black.
Ngl Mayella looks about the same age as Atticus, even though she was stated to be 19, either that’s a good thing for Atticus or a bad thing for mayella
i applaud this movie for taking the dialogue straight out of the novel for nearly the entire movie
omg that's very interesting, i didn't know that. I wonder why books that are turned into movies don't do that today
Yes. *I read the novel (To Kill a Mockingbird) before the movie;* therefore, I took the _novel's descriptions for the characters - and implemented it._ Yet, I found that the movie _captured the character's appearances well, as well._ They chose a talented set of actors to play the character roles.

What she did costed him his life
Blue Skeptic I don't think her dad raped her. I think he just beat and abused her.
I wonder if the trial would’ve gone differently if the judge had requested her father to be out of the room when she testified
Well done, Crowder. Well done.
crowder is a piece of crap
@@tomgibson6801 Who is Crowder?
@@aspiknf good chance they're referring to steven crowder? He's a Republican/Libertarian and is really popular for his shows called "Change my Mind" where he talks to strangers on issues and stuff. But they may not be referring to him, just a guess
I like Mayella's actor, she's very convincing
This movie is intense. I really love Atticus, he's a great character.
my favorite book in the entire world, and one of the most incredible films ever made.
Panel after panel on MSNBC and CNN would condemn Atticus Finch for not believing the woman.
Ha ha
when i was in high school, i remember hating this book so much. in fact, i didn't even read it. but now that i'm older, i wish i had appreciated it more. i do now, and i now see how powerful this story is and why it's always apart of the english curriculum.
so kids: appreciate and read all the books you have to read in high school! you'll learn to appreciate it later.
"mayella in the book is 19 in the movie she looks like a 35 year old"
-My little cousin
The lady that played Mayella was in her twenties.
We can best assume that stress aged her terribly.
NO ONE, I repeat NO ONE, could ever be a better Atticus Finch than Gregory Peck
What I don't understand is why loads of you are calling Mayella a fake b*tch. If she didn't say all those things then she was going to be beaten and abused even more by her father. She was acting out of fear not hate.
she still cost a man his freedom and in turn, his life
I know that and I'm not trying to say what she did was right but that if she had the choice without any influence from her father I sincerely doubt she would have chosen to prosecute him.
she's still a fake bitch though
I don't think that's fair. I just say blame Bob Ewell.
Okay, let's say she did say that it was her father who rapes and beats her. The police would get involved take away her siblings, distribute them into different homes. They would all be split up. Also, had she told the truth, she would have been shunned from the community even more than she already is because she tried to seduce a black man. She would be an even greater outsider than she already is! Finally, from an outside perspective, it is clearly a bad situation without her having to confess about her father, yet the police have done nothing to help, so what faith does she have in the police that they will do anything about it? Now add the fear of her father... of course she's going to lie! Now I'm not saying that what she did was right, she was still throwing away a man's life! But from her perspective, she didn't know she had another choice....
I'm going to be playing Mayella at my local theater, so I have been studying and analyzing her character for the past few months.
Mayella's actress does a really good job at making people hate her. She's really good.
Collin Wilcox Paxton is the actress name and yes she is my top favorite actress ever. She played Mayella Ewell
Wow the teacher in English who explained this really made me want to watch it, it’s amazing.
You can hear in her voice how bad her life is. Just like in the novel her brother Burris shouts obscenities at the teacher that he obviously learned listening to his dad curse at mayella. Likewise when a much smaller student comes to her defense Burris is scared of the much smaller child. If he is afraid of a smaller younger male imagine how scared he must be when his father goes off on him or his siblings.
Such brilliant acting from every individual in this picture!
Right!
bought this book around the start of this week and now im on this page of the book 👏 the trial was my favorite part even though the outcome was extremely unpleasant
this is a book my mom gave me and i didn’t want to read it at first but i ended up loving it!
I just watched it today as a 29 year old, I love everything about the movie from the protagonist portrayed marvelously by Mr gregory , the children and the rest of the supporting cast.
I remember reading this in the 9th grade for English class and also watching the movie. I absolutely loved it. (:
Despite Tom's hand not being deformed in the movie, they at least made a good interpretation of what was written in the book itself wonderful job...
The acting from everyone in this scene was awesome and terrifying
I need a father like Atticus man♥️
Nobody changed from the days of this movie.
One of the best novels I've ever read
When my class doesn't agree with me on a question: 2:05
lol
Massively underrated one-handed catch.
Yes
Actress playing mayella later starred in twilight zone episode: number 12 looks just like you
Yep!
Ohh that’s what I know her from
Her body language and lack of eye contact are dead giveaways that she is lying.
Mayella looks kinda like Sarah Paulson...
I thought she looked like christine basley ford
I’m watching this instead of reading the book for the test tomorrow
ChillKanna How’d you do on that test?
Joe Whitehead F
ChillKanna Ouch
I'm so glad Movieclips is here. cause if it's not, I failed English.
When mayella said “sittin’ right yonder” I think she looked at Bob as she pointed.
The guy who played Atticus is handsome oh my good.
For the 60s this is great acting
My English Teacher was right. This book is enjoyable.
I read this book in high school and remember being very bored with it I’m 26 now and just recently reread it and I can say I think it’s one of the best books ever written.
Love this book
You know this a Banned book in school right? Google Lists of Banned books in schools
@@keahithefieryone8513 Not banned in England
I remember one time I didn't know what Atticus' name was, so I called him "Abacus" and then the person I was talking to replied "well he's really good at counting. And you can always count on him."
There is also a sharp contradiction in the book.
She testifies that her father ran in the room screaming "who was it?", but he claims earlier that he looked in through the window and got a clear look of who it was.
These two statement clash... such a wasted opportunity for his closing speech.
Yes, this has been bothering me too. Did Lee mean this to be seen as an oversight by Atticus? If so, it is surprising that Jem did not spot the anomaly. Or is it just a "mistake" by Lee? Puzzling.
It's not an oversight since Atticus was fighting the jury's prejudice. He refuted their testimony in the cross examination but asked the jury to believe Tom's testimony.
is the book similar to the movie? or should i read the book?
It really didn't matter. They were going to convict no matter what. A black man raped a white woman. Even though the family were the worst kind of white people. Heck Tate even says at the end about Boo "he did this town a great service" by offing Bob Ewell. It was still the south, still white vs. black.
He did say that the two witnesses contradicted. Also this was two years ago xd
i'm really touched wiz Atticus 'integrity,humility, determination and excellence in his work....
10/10 Atticus
We watched that movie in my English class. We all sat there and listened to Mayella's screaming. Lol
Who else is in english class watching this on their phone, hiding it behind your book
even though i do not like mayella's character, i must admit that the actress who played her is fantastic!!
they said she was like 19 in the book, she looks 40
Real life story I’m happy my teacher taught me right about this book and movie. Woke me up
Ngl Mayella looks about the same age as Atticus, even though she was stated to be 19, either that’s a good thing for Atticus or a bad thing for mayella
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour...
Oddly reminiscent of the Kavanaugh and Thomas Clarence hearings.
Atticus is a well, straight forward man and I respect that.
