Film Synopsis:
Gregory Peck won an Oscar® for his brilliant performance as the Southern lawyer who defends a black man accused of rape in this film version of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. The way in which it captures a time, a place, and above all, a mood, makes this film a masterpiece. The setting is a dusty Southern town during the Depression. A white woman accuses a black man of rape. Though he is obviously innocent, the outcome of his trial is such a foregone conclusion that no lawyer will step forward to defend him – except Peck, the town's most distinguished citizen. His compassionate defense costs him many friendships but earns him the respect and admiration of his two motherless children.

That sigh from Mr. Cunningham really cuts deep. A man shamed, but awakened by that shame.

One of my favorite scenes. Scout, not able to see Atticus, runs into the mob and Jem refusing to leave his fathers side. They lost their mother and wasn’t going to lose their dad.

A movie about kindness, empathy, and acceptance. We need more of that in 2022.

I like how he brought a whole lamp to the place and read a book while he waited.

Took a child to wise them up.
This film should be played in all schools.

Probably the bravest and kindest help from children ever seen in a movie.

It takes a Man to stand up to the Mob, but only the innocence of a Child to shame them into understanding what they are doing is wrong. People want to ban this book because of the bad parts but they forget about the parts that teach us to be humans.

I bet he's never been so proud of disobedience in his life.

“A mob’s always made up of people, no matter what. Mr Cunningham was part of a mob last night, but he was still a man. Every mob in every little Southern town is always made up of people you know – doesn’t say much for them, does it?’ ‘I’ll say not, ’ said Jem. ‘So it took an eight-year-old child to bring ’em to their senses, didn’t it?’ said Atticus. ‘That proves something – that a gang of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they’re still human.”

This film perfectly encapsulates the spirit and content of the book! Timeless and teaches the most powerful lessons on racism & the justice system in the United States.

Jem knew what was going on, but Scout didn't. It was her child innocence that made these men realize that what they wanted to do was wrong. It's a VERY powerful scene.

Jem: "No, Sir."

This line. Jem, is a good son, and he disrespects his father's wishes in the most respectable way possible. And it's all Atticus' fault.

Atticus does what is right. He is right to want to send the children away.
Jem, following in Atticus, also does what is right. He stands by his father's side, against his father's wishes, because Jem knows he must. Why? Because it is the right thing to do.
