Movie Reviews of To Kill a Mockingbird (Universal Legacy Series)
Movie Review: Movie Making At It's Best
Summary: 5 Stars
I viewed this movie on a 46" widscreeen Samsung LCD HDTV played on a Toshiba XA-2 HD DVD player that upscales to 1080p. The image quality of this movie is without a doubt the best black and white presentation I have seen for a non-HD movie. I sincerely wish all older movies looked and sounded as good as this one does. As others have so adeptly pointed out, To Kill A Mockingbird is a classic American movie made from a classic American novel. I can't think of any other movie that so completely captured the eloquence and ethos of a bygone era. If you already know and love this move, this presentation of it is unparalled. If you haven't seen it or if you haven't seen it in a long, long time, I assure you that are going to love it.
Summary of To Kill a Mockingbird (Universal Legacy Series)
When a Southern white woman accuses a black man of rape, the outcome of the trial is a foregone conclusion and no lawyer except Atticus Finch will defend the accused.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: NR
Release Date: 6-SEP-2005
Media Type: DVD
Ranked 34 on the American Film Institute's list of the 100 Greatest American Films, To Kill a Mockingbird is quite simply one of the finest family-oriented dramas ever made. A beautiful and deeply affecting adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Harper Lee, the film retains a timeless quality that transcends its historically dated subject matter (racism in the Depression-era South) and remains powerfully resonant in present-day America with its advocacy of tolerance, justice, integrity, and loving, responsible parenthood. It's tempting to call this an important "message" movie that should be required viewing for children and adults alike, but this riveting courtroom drama is anything but stodgy or pedantic. As Atticus Finch, the small-town Alabama lawyer and widower father of two, Gregory Peck gives one of his finest performances with his impassioned defense of a black man (Brock Peters) wrongfully accused of the rape and assault of a young white woman. While his children, Scout (Mary Badham) and Jem (Philip Alford), learn the realities of racial prejudice and irrational hatred, they also learn to overcome their fear of the unknown as personified by their mysterious, mostly unseen neighbor Boo Radley (Robert Duvall, in his brilliant, almost completely nonverbal screen debut). What emerges from this evocative, exquisitely filmed drama is a pure distillation of the themes of Harper Lee's enduring novel, a showcase for some of the finest American acting ever assembled in one film, and a rare quality of humanitarian artistry (including Horton Foote's splendid screenplay and Elmer Bernstein's outstanding score) that seems all but lost in the chaotic morass of modern cinema. --Jeff Shannon
