Summary: Simply the greatest
Review: I cannot describe easily how brilliant this film is. It is among my favourite books of all time and was the first movie to teach about caring for humanity despite what perr pressure may tell you. It had a profound effect on me as a young woman and as an adult it still remains one of the best movies ever made, perhaps the best adaptation from a book to a movie. Everyone should see this film.

Summary: Well done
Review: Though no novel-based Movie truly compares to the book itself, "To Kill a Mocking Bird" came extremly close. With such well casted actors, this movie truly portrayed the problems in ancient and even today's society. It shows the world through the eye of a child, and how innocence knows no evil. Well done!

Summary: The finest...
Review: There's very little to be said about this incredible film that hasn't been said before. When I was 14 I went, alone, to see this film. Afterward, I was speechless. I immediately decided it was my favorite film of all time, and, 40 years later, it still is. Horton Foote's brilliant screenplay accomplished a feat that is almost unparallelled: it reduced a complex, character-driven series of events into a 2 hour coherent classic narrative. Its profound effect on me has been a bit of a character builder for me; I'm a better person, I think, for having seen this film at a young age. I encourage all people with children in their life to show this to them. Kids often pay more attention to a film that's seen thru the eyes of kids. There simply can't be any way that your kid won't be moved profoundly. I've seen it happen to my own, and I, myself, am living proof.

Summary: The Best Family Film Ever!!!!!!!
Review: What more can be said about this classic? A great novel turned into an even greater film! How often does that happen? Gregory Peck's usual wooden acting style is perfect here as Atticus. The three children are wonderfully natural, as are the other actors, but the real stars are the novel itself, Horton Foote's screenplay, Robert Mulligan's direction, and Elmer Bernstein's score.Has there ever been a more effective scene than when at the end of the trial the Black minister turns to Scout and says "Miss Jean Louise, stand up, your father is passing"? Or a better ending? Or a better object lesson about race and class? I don't think so. Citizen Kane may be a better movie, from a technical sense, but for me, I never been more affected by a film emotionally than by To Kill a Mockingbird. After 40 years the film has lost none of its power. And then of course there are the additional little nuggets of gold such as that the film includes the debut of one of our greatest actors, Robert Duvall as Boo and that Dill is based on a young Truman Capote.

Summary: Twice as good
Review: One of the few films that is able to stand up to the text it is based on. A great piece of cinema that appropriatly and accurately captures the drama and lessons from the novel. And like any movie that withstands time, it keeps getting better with every viewing.
