To Kill a Mockingbird

The robins are a kind of beneficial bird, they will only bring pleasant singing to this society. Besides, they have not hurt anyone. There is a saying in the south of the United States that killing a robin is a sin. There are two robins in the article, one is black Tom Robinson, and the other is "weird" Bu Ladley. Black Tom was found guilty "unsurprisingly" in a case where the truth was "obvious." Deep-rooted prejudice eventually killed Tom. The weird Bobby Tom was lucky. His guarding of the children eventually won the children's trust and the sheriff and lawyer's protection of him. The tragedies of the two robins were due to social prejudice. At that time, the southern blacks were a low race and the root of crime, because this prejudice usually seemed to be entangled by the honest and loyal villagers and even wanted to treat them before the trial began. The black man shot and killed, and Mr. Cunningham was a typical representative of this group of executioner villagers. Cunningham first appeared in the story because the life of farmers has become increasingly difficult after the economic collapse. After he did not have the money to repay Atticus’s legal fees, he did not repay his debts but chose to repay the debt silently; through the new female teacher The attention of the Cunningham family knows that this is a spineless family that would rather go hungry than accept alms; he appeared in a group of accomplices who wanted to shoot Tom when he was still complimented in the future; and wanted to treat him. When he made the accusation, he was the first group of people who were moved away in shame by Scott's words "we are not malicious" and relieved Atticus from trouble. As Atticus described it, "He is essentially a good man, but he just has his own blind spots like the rest of us. Every mob is made up of people. He is one of the mobs, but he is still "Individuals", not only Cunningham, but also Deere’s aunt who unscrupulously preached rumors of terrible stories, etc. They represent most of the villagers, perhaps more of the majority of society, they are not pure evil. They did not harm or even kill some people with pure malice, but their behavior did push some people into desperate situations and could not survive. You can't even criticize them. However, things are not that bad. Everything can be saved because everyone’s kind heart has not been completely wiped out. Human blind spots may conceal the essence of human kindness, but the many possibilities brought about by social development are that blind spots will eventually be destroyed. One day wiped away, the group of people represented by Atticus is making an effort to this end.

    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.

    It's an unexpected court movie, it was shot from a child's perspective. In the first hour, I almost thought it was "walking with me". The facts have proved that this long foreshadowing is still very necessary. The sense of succession and transition of the old movies is obvious, and Gregorian Parker is too tempting to marry. Don't kill a robin, all they do is sing...

To Kill a Mockingbird quotes

  • Atticus Finch: [his closing statement] To begin with, this case should never have come to trial. The state has not produced one iota of medical evidence that the crime Tom Robinson is charged with ever took place... It has relied instead upon the testimony of two witnesses, whose evidence has not only been called into serious question on cross-examination, but has been flatly contradicted by the defendant. Now, there is circumstantial evidence to indicate that Mayella Ewel was beaten - savagely, by someone who led exclusively with his left. And Tom Robinson now sits before you having taken the oath with the only good hand he possesses... his RIGHT. I have nothing but pity in my heart for the chief witness for the State. She is the victim of cruel poverty and ignorance. But my pity does not extend so far as to her putting a man's life at stake, which she has done in an effort to get rid of her own guilt. Now I say "guilt," gentlemen, because it was guilt that motivated her. She's committed no crime - she has merely broken a rigid and time-honored code of our society, a code so severe that whoever breaks it is hounded from our midst as unfit to live with. She must destroy the evidence of her offense. But what was the evidence of her offense? Tom Robinson, a human being. She must put Tom Robinson away from her. Tom Robinson was to her a daily reminder of what she did. Now, what did she do? She tempted a Negro. She was white, and she tempted a Negro. She did something that, in our society, is unspeakable. She kissed a black man. Not an old uncle, but a strong, young Negro man. No code mattered to her before she broke it, but it came crashing down on her afterwards. The witnesses for the State, with the exception of the sheriff of Maycomb County have presented themselves to you gentlemen, to this court in the cynical confidence that their testimony would not be doubted, confident that you gentlemen would go along with them on the assumption... the evil assumption that all Negroes lie, all Negroes are basically immoral beings, all Negro men are not to be trusted around our women. An assumption that one associates with minds of their caliber, and which is, in itself, gentlemen, a lie, which I do not need to point out to you. And so, a quiet, humble, respectable Negro, who has had the unmitigated TEMERITY to feel sorry for a white woman, has had to put his word against TWO white people's! The defendant is not guilty - but somebody in this courtroom is. Now, gentlemen, in this country, our courts are the great levelers. In our courts, all men are created equal. I'm no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and of our jury system - that's no ideal to me. That is a living, working reality! Now I am confident that you gentlemen will review, without passion, the evidence that you have heard, come to a decision and restore this man to his family. In the name of GOD, do your duty. In the name of God, believe... Tom Robinson.

  • Scout: May I see your watch? "To Atticus, My Beloved Husband." Atticus, Jem says this watch is gonna belong to him some day.

    Atticus Finch: That's right.

    Scout: Why?

    Atticus Finch: Well, it's customary for the boy to have his father's watch.

    Scout: What are you gonna give me?

    Atticus Finch: Well, I don't know that I have much else of value that belongs to me... But there's a pearl necklace; there's a ring that belonged to your mother. And I've put them away, and they're to be yours.
