RacsOview: To Kill A Mockingbird (1962)

I had this on my shelf for quite a long time now and I have not gotten the chance to see it. But given the recent string of events, finally! I was able to see it. And WOW, I am stupid to have not seen it when I bought the VCD (yes, it's been in my shelf for a very very long time) because "To Kill a Mockingbird" is the masterpiece that people and critics say it was. It also is for me, one of the finest films ever put to screen.

"To Kill A Mockingbird" was about Atticus Finch, a lawyer defending a black man who was accused of rape. So you could say that it was a little bit of a courtroom drama. On the side, it was also a coming of age story for Finch's son and friends. (I was impressed with the kids. It was like they were acting all their lives, this has got to be one of the finest young actors cast ever on a film.) You see, Atticus was loathed by some for depending someone who "raped" a woman. But he stood by what he believed in and fought for what is right. Atticus Finch is a true hero, one that could inspire the lives of many.

This movie is one of those rare movies that are known and looks classic yet it stood the test of time and the love that people had for it way back still lingers up to now and can it still get some new fans and lovers. It was like a story that never grows old, it still is fresh and it is like you see it fresh every time.

"To Kill A Mockingbird" for me was a thrilling and heartwarming movie. Emotional, true and sincere, it truly is a classic gem that will be loved for as long as cinema is alive.
