      Father

      His father was also a lawyer, similar to Atticus in some ways. Calm, calm, doesn't talk much on weekdays, treats me well.

      The greatest people can't fight stubborn prejudice, but the most stubborn prejudice can't fight the gentleness of those well-meaning people.

      The historical significance of the film may be greater than the significance of the film itself. Judging from today's perspective, there are many problems with its film language. For example, the layout of the suspense line and the legal line is very blunt, and the narrative has not achieved success on both lines. More viewers can feel that the characters in the film are highly facialized, that the film is pedagogical, and the intuitive perception is even similar to some socialist literary and artistic works. But from a historical perspective, the film and its highly loyal original are a social education novel about American racial issues. This positioning determines that each character in the play must assume a corresponding symbolic function. It is also set for a type of film. Basic issues, character relationships, and film grammar. The film is still enduring to this day, and I think it is also fueled by the American left wing that emphasizes "identity politics", but in fact, the film is highly white-centered in terms of perspective, and upholds the narrative logic of white people saving black people, and the upper class educating the lower class: The bottom whites are a hateful and ignorant rabble, while the blacks are innocent, without any initiative, the recipients of moral justice. Of course, this also coincides with the logic of the political action of the "white left" in the United States.

    To Kill a Mockingbird quotes

    • Scout: Mr. Tate was right.

      Atticus Finch: What do you mean?

      Scout: Well, it would be sort of like shooting a mockingbird, wouldn't it?

    • Tom Robinson: I can't use my left hand at all. I got it caught in a cotton gin when I was twelve years old. All my muscles were tore loose.
