The entire movie was very well done. We watched the final scenes of it today, which were intriguing. I felt when Mr. Ewell spits in Atticus's face, it seemed like it was just thrown in. Nothing really led up to it, such as Mr. Ewell threatening Atticus and saying rude things to him. However, Atticus's response to Ewell's action was awesome. By just wiping his face, not saying anything, and then walking away proves further the goodness of this man. Also, he shows that he is not the kind of person to retaliate when someone does something disrespectful to him. Regarding Boo Radley, I agree with the perception they show off him. I could tell how he still is a child inside. For instance, Arthur (Boo) Radley holds onto Scout's hand when walking to the front porch.
Reflecting on the movie as a whole, it did well in describing the major events of To Kill A Mockingbird. I liked the way the trial was portrayed. I knew exactly how the people were feeling based on their reactions and by the way they acted. Of course I think some parts should have been added. However, a movie cannot include everything from the book. Thus, I feel the movie did a good job in keeping the events that were most important and removing the ones not needed. Throughout the movie we see Arthur Radley's kindness toward the Finches. He gave Jem and Scout little gifts, such as soap dolls and a broken watch and chain, that he had put in the hole of an oak tree. Also, he saves Scout and Jem's lives when the kids are attacked by Mr. Ewell. I think it was nice to see how someone can be so compassionate to people that he is not really acquainted with.
