Just amazing

I came here precisely to say how that line always leaves me choked up. 👏😢

I’m not ashamed to say it. I cry at that scene. Every time. We need more Harper lees.

I tear up just thinking about the line

There is no scene, no line in a movie that makes me bawl harder. Respect.

Didn't knew that. They were both great in this movie!

He was absolutely great in this, and I wasn't even that familiar with this actor

Interesting 🤔 had never heard of that movie

That moment IS definitely so very important. We were very pleased to have seen this movie. I'm glad that book is taught in schools over there. Now I also have to go and read it for sure ☺

It always has me wiping tears from me face as well.

Yeah, that's why we thought it was such a sad and frustrating situation, because what more could someone have done? The whole defense case would be impossible to fail if it was a fair trial 😔 (I had never seen Duvall that young, damn)

One of our favourite moments for sure 👌🏻

This was a fantastic story absolutely, it really became one of our favourites! The language was part of that era I suppose, so its authentic, what's the point of ignoring that? 🤷🏻‍♂️ We will definitely check out 12 Angry Men in the future 😊

"Dill" was the real-life Truman Capote. Harper Lee knew him when she was a child in that setting. _Adventures of Huckleberry Finn_ changed my life.

they talk over nearly all of the dialogue during the film.

It is very powerful, I'll definitely never forget it as well 👌

Of course! But I wouldn't trust a jury in that place! and it seems the sherrif learnt a bit with Tom's situation

The sheriff acquiesced willingly to what they did to Tom. In the case of Arthur, Boo, there was no powerful social stigma attached.@@ptthatswhatshesaid

Yeah, I guess we will never know. We just assumed that the escape attempt had been Tom's desperation. It's really sad either way 😥

Like law officers have never been corrupt in other countries.

I think this is clearly what happened.

I like that! Înstead of brainless action heroes, this is a true role model 👌🏻

Indeed

I get it :)

Yeah, I kinda agree, especially because when we were watching the movie I found it kinda ridiculous that Tom handicap had never been brought up 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂ It's like, you guys waited for court to realize that it couldn't be him? He arrested him just because yeah, and he died because of that sure. The jury is also to blame, how could they come to that decision? I know it's the point of the movie, but it really pissed me off! 😅 sorry for the rant, I'm still thinking about the movie, it was really good, gonna read the book as well

The only issue at that time, in that place, was that a white man, and woman, made an accusation against a black man. Are you gonna take a n_____'s word over mine!? N_____ Lover!!!@@ptthatswhatshesaid

Just excellent storytelling 👌🏻

Thank you so much 😊 Now I really want to check out more movies with Gregory Peck!

@@ptthatswhatshesaid I hope you can and will!

Thank you very, very much

Yeah, I feel I need to actually read the book!:

excellent storytelling for sure 👌

@@ptthatswhatshesaid I much preferred it to 12 Angry Men. You guys should try "Inherit the Wind". I'm sure you've probably already seen it, but another great legal film for the channel. I must also recommend another old film called "Lost Horizon". It's my favorite black and white film, and appropriate to the title was almost completely lost and then reconstructed from a partial surviving copy. Another great film. Cheers! Love the channel, been watching since Naked Gun!

Thanks a lot!! ☺️ Need to check out your suggestion

I've always heard of In the Heat of the Night but still need to see it!

That is a great film indeed, and yes I will definitely show it to her

Thank you so much for the recommendations! 1. We have both seen, but 2. and 3. we both have not seen 👌

#2 is an Academy Award winning comedy. #3 is a drama.@@ptthatswhatshesaid

I would add Anatomy of a Murder starring James Stewart.

I'll probably check out the book as well 👌🏻 Thank you for the suggestions

Yes, very good one! I think we both have seen that one though. But thank you so much for the suggestion 🙏

I haven't read the book yet, but it must be really, really good if this movie is any indication of the quality of the story writing. Banning such a good book for such petty reasons is ridiculous

Same here. The book and movie always made me cry. And two nights ago I saw the stage production currently touring, with Richard Thomas (John Boy, from the Waltons) as Atticus, and Mary Badham (Scout from this movie, as the mean neighbour Mrs Dubose). It also made me cry. SUCH a excellent story.

Read the book. There is so much more in book.

I will also check out the book, absolutely

Yeah, probably she was just having a breakdown. She was definitely "trapped", that we can agree on. About Tom, you might be right, we really just thought he had done it out of desperation

yes! 🤦‍♂ There were just so many inconsistencies from the witnesses point of view

I think I definitely will read the book 👌

He seemed so young! About slavery, I just wanted to say that I think that the fact that since in America it was racially based that might be one of the foundations for the fact that for so many time blacks were seen as lesser humans. Of course slavery has been the norm among people for thousands of years, and people from Portugal have been slaves and have had slaves just like any other group of people.

@@ptthatswhatshesaid agree however slavery was not based on racism you should look up Tomas Sowell "The Truth of Slavery not Taught in school"

@@filibertoarteaga9571 thank you, will definitely check it out! Really thought that in the US all the slaves had to be black

Still need to read it, must be great

You would need to prove it but at least as far as I'm aware no, it's not And in my opinion, not only is it not murder, it is also not wrong

Pois, nunca vi o filme todo, mas acho que me lembro dessa escritora aparecer no filme "Capote"

@@ptthatswhatshesaid Sim, ela é mencionada e representada em todas as biografias do Capote, eles eram amigos.

I see, it has to be a complete unanimous decision then, every time

@@ptthatswhatshesaid yes. That's why in the US defense attorneys will comment or say things like, "All we have to do is convince one person of reasonable doubt" things like that

@@nataliestclair6176 interesting, thank you so much!

It's just that I am so used to see him as an older guy 😅 (except with The Godfather)

I have seen that one (very good movie 👌) but I need to check if she also has seen it or not

That's an interesting title 🤔 tbh I do seem to recognized him from some movies, but cannot exactly place him

@@ptthatswhatshesaid You would remember him from The Omen, Its an all star cast, Peck, Laurence Olivier, James Mason.

@@locuus7 oh yes! He was the dad in that film, that's right

amazing story yeah thank you for the recommendation 😉

That One is in our schedualed list for sure 😉

And please make sure you pick the 1957 black and white version with Henry Fonda and Lee J Cobb

I'm not american and don't know that reality but in terms of films and tv shows for exemple I think I absolutely agree with everything you said. We were just genuinely glad we watched this movie 👌 great story tackling big problems in a non condescending way I couldn't have put it better

Beautifully expressed! As a professional writer and editor for most of my life (now retired), I take my hat off to you.

I wildly disagree with what you are saying here because I just saw the play TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD on broadway less than 5 years ago, and it was still this exact story. Jeff Daniels played Atticus and they did this story. They didn't pivot it in any way that reflects the extremes you are suggesting. I am sorry that you see and think everything in modern society is so ready to attack white men. and that the new enemies are women and minorities and such. I think you have mixed up genuine progress, and the desire to get more stories from different points of view out in the world, with what you are describing. if there seem to be more stories from women, blacks, gays, etc. than there used to be, that is simply because the majority of those stories have been neglected for so long now. and they have been neglected for a myraid of reasons. it doesn't have to be an either/or situation. you make some beautiful points here about what is in TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, which makes the points that you are projecting about what stories and/or how stories are being told today that much more confusing and frustrating. It reminds me of so many male reactions to the BARBIE movie's success this past summer. summer of 2023 for the very first time, the summer big blockbuster film release was BARBIE. for the first time it was a blockbuster made by a woman, about a toy that has been geared and marketed towards girls and women. this is the first time this has ever happened. I am 56 years old. for the past 40 years I have seen the summer blockbuster come out and sometimes folks love it, sometimes they hate it, some movies are hits, some are fails, they all have cost a lot of money, and usually they make a lot of money. these movies have included multiples of-the batman movies, the superman movies, the Spiderman movies, the x-men movies, the ant-man movies, the pirates of the Caribbean movies, the Star Wars movies, the raiders of the lost ark movies, even the Harry Potter movies. yes. all those movies. all these summers. but I have to ask- is there a common denominator with these movies? at all? is there anything linking all of these multiple, multiple movies? anything at all? ok then. yeah. this summer for the first time we had a BARBIE movie. the first one. ever. I've watched all those other movies for over 40 years now. this year we had BARBIE. and so many men lost their minds. they proclaimed the film as anti-men. and when they hated on it-they HATED ON IT. it was "feminist garbage". it was the worst movie ever made. ben shapiro did almost an hour long video proclaiming his hate for BARBIE, including ritualistically setting barbie dolls on fire in the video. (yeah. he's like a grown man or something?) the haters were outraged this "feminist propaganda" telling everyone to hate men and everything awful about men. and BARBIE does not hate men. and it is not feminist propaganda. the film very much cares about ken's story. it could have not addressed anything about ken at all, but it dared to bring his story forward, and we get to see his struggle and what he feels. just as we see barbie's story, even though it is her movie, not his story. how did this go over so many mens heads? it is very confusing, and very sad. BARBIE does address the problems with patriarchy, and it also addresses the problems with matriarchy. the movie clearly shows us why the extreme of either thing is detrimental to everybody. the film is clearly showing how difficult it is to be human. male or female. is the film more geared towards girls and women? sure, the source material it comes from is a doll that was more geared towards girls and women. it has been this way with barbie since 1959. but men complain about this? after 40 years of movies from all of the franchises I pointed out above? I don't remember any female collective outrage about any of those other summer blockbuster films. like I keep saying-for over 40 years now. So I want to say to that complaint from all those men-come on guys. can you be a little more generous or something? one BARBIE compared to all of those other films? do you have a daughter? a wife? a sister? a sense of fairness? any interest in any story that is not your own-somehow? I don't agree with what you say about what this film might be today if it was being made. your characterization seems to come from one who feels attacked and angry. I am not sure why that might be. but I think you might be angry at the wrong people here at least in how you describe what the film might be today. I am not sure why you think all nuance has been lost. when I saw TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD on broadway in 2018, I remember telling a friend that I knew that I would cry over tom, and boo, etc. but I was shocked because I didn't know that Maella, and her story, and how she was portrayed would make me cry with equal power. her scene on the stand killed me. it was devastating to watch her think that the lawyers were making fun of her when they called her "ma'am" and "miss". it killed me. I didn't know the Ewells story could be fleshed out in the way that it was until I saw the play a few years ago. so I disagree. I think it is easy to get on that bandwagon and proclaim those things, but I don't think it is happening all the time, or to the degree with which you are suggesting. good luck.

@@user-kv2tj4du8p1. Jeff Daniels is a rabid anti-American Leftist 2. Barbie WAS third wave feminist garbage. 3. Don’t lump being black or a woman with homosexual depravity. God doesn’t condemn as sin the first two groups. 4. Nice try gaslighting but Hollywood has been Leftist for DECADES. Hollywood,colleges, schools and most of the media are directly controlled by white hating, America bashing Leftists. Ben Shapiro is RIGHT about Barbie and his “Primetime Propaganda” book showcased how Leftists in Hollywood took over our culture. They brag about in in their own words because they thought he was a fellow Leftist because he was a Jew who went to Harvard, not knowing he was actually Orthodox and Conservative.

What a dumb comment. I'm always amused by people looking at the past, particularly of generations past, with rose-coloured glasses. It's hilarious to me that you are so incensed by any notion of pushing social boundaries TODAY while praising a film and book that pushed social boundaries of the past. The truth is the works of today that you so despise challenge YOU, while the older films and stories challenged your parents and grandparents but came to simply be accepted by the time you came along. That's what rankles you so -- might want to question why that is.

I find it so interesting that Dill was based on Capote! And yeah, the children point of view is fantastic to just show how ridiculous the injustice of it all 👌

First of all thank you very much 🙏🏻 We are sorry about being annoying or anythin like that 😅 but we talk a lot watching movies, in great part because we grew up watching movies with subtitles, which means that even if we don't directly hear what they say, we know what they are saying!

@@ptthatswhatshesaid Well, you have to be you. I just like to point out that others may not like it and I would like to see you get as many subs as possible.

@@Vlasko60 thank you ☺️ yeah, I suppose some will like it and others wont 😬 we are glad we are discovering new movies though!

Why banning it?

@@ptthatswhatshesaid some people think is racist 😯

🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ I can't even begin to try to understand that

So basically you would pretty much have a probably quite biased jury anyway?... We find the jury system quite interesting since it doesn't really exist in our country, here it's only the lawyers and the judge

@@ptthatswhatshesaid well, back in the context of the book, where racism was a given, there was no way for Robinson to get a fair trial. And he knew that. That's why he was so distraught, because he knew the accusation was enough to either get him lynched or sent to prison for life.

Sorry, this was made as a full length reaction on patreon 😬 only afterwards edited for KZfaq, so there is no pauses, but we watch with portuguese subtitles, no worries 😉
