The Movie

My favorite seen in the movie and the book was Tom Robinson's trial. For the most part i think that the director of the movie did a good job at portraying the characters and the setting. There are some things that i saw differently while reading the book. Also there are some things that i didn't imagine or put into place while reading the book such as Mayella Ewell's cross examination. In the book i never imagined Mayella shouting as much as she did. After thinking about this however it does make some sense. The Ewells are the least respectful people in Maycome and because it is a small town everyone accepts this. 

For the most part the movie's setting and characters matched the image that i had created while reading the book. The court house was roughly how i saw it although it was hard for me to imagine while reading. I feel that the author didn't give enough detail but i was impressed to see in the movie, a court house that really fit in. The actors and actresses  were very good at portraying the characters and i especially appreciated the actor who played Atticus. Everything about this man matched the way i saw Atticus from his voice to his hair cut. Although reading the book is always more fun than watching the movie i enjoyed it and was impressed at how well it reflected the book.
