Film Synopsis:
Gregory Peck won an Oscar® for his brilliant performance as the Southern lawyer who defends a black man accused of rape in this film version of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. The way in which it captures a time, a place, and above all, a mood, makes this film a masterpiece. The setting is a dusty Southern town during the Depression. A white woman accuses a black man of rape. Though he is obviously innocent, the outcome of his trial is such a foregone conclusion that no lawyer will step forward to defend him - except Peck, the town's most distinguished citizen. His compassionate defense costs him many friendships but earns him the respect and admiration of his two motherless children.

That sigh from Mr. Cunningham really cuts deep. A man shamed, but awakened by that shame.

@jack688 Жыл бұрын

@elcrisg could not have said it better myself. Just the kind words of a child to bring a posse of men to shame, to the point they could not even look at her. Mr. Cunningham is for sure not a bad guy, like many in this movie, he believes what he hears others saying and likely follows the crowd a bit. I loved the book, but too me, the movie really encapsulate this scene so well, to see the shame on all there faces, so powerful.

It's interesting how Mr. Cunningham went from wanting to kill Tom Robinson to being humbled by Scout by being reminded of his entailment.

@@jack688 - You are right. - I haven't read the book, or watched the movie for a while, however I gather the story is set in a small rural community. These kinds of places were close-knit back then. - For example, if there was a fire on someone's property, all the other farmers would band together to fight it - or they might help their neighbours at harvesting time. Borrowing machinery was common. They may worship at the same church on Sunday. They lived and worked as a cooperative. - It could be risky - even dangerous - to act counter to their collaborative culture. - There was no way to avoid your neighbours in a small community - and to be cast out could mean financial ruin. - Not for one minute do I defend racism, however I think it can be of value to illustrate the social structure they existed within.

Yes! You could see that Atticus taught his kids well by teaching them to do the thing they know is right, jem staying by his side even though atticus told him to go home shows that Jem knew the right thing to do even when you have people telling you otherwise. Scout knew to talk to people about what they liked instead of what she liked, he's a great father 😭

It takes a Man to stand up to the Mob, but only the innocence of a Child to shame them into understanding what they are doing is wrong. People want to ban this book because of the bad parts but they forget about the parts that teach us to be humans.

“Teach us to be human.” I think that the human heart is cruel, suspicious, greedy, and power hungry. We need to defy our nature; love our enemies and pray for those who persecute you. There’s nothing remotely humanitarian about human nature.

“A mob’s always made up of people, no matter what. Mr Cunningham was part of a mob last night, but he was still a man. Every mob in every little Southern town is always made up of people you know - doesn’t say much for them, does it?’ ‘I’ll say not,’ said Jem. ‘So it took an eight-year-old child to bring ’em to their senses, didn’t it?’ said Atticus. ‘That proves something - that a gang of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they’re still human.”

@wickedwitchoftheeast88 Жыл бұрын

What the mob didn't know was that Braxton Underwood was right above their heads pointing his large rifle at them had they touched Atticus and he only made his presence known after the mob left. The irony is that he's known as the most racist man in town and won't have any black people near him (not how its phrased in the book though). When Tom Robinson is killed he writes a scathing editorial about the way he was treated (he's the editor of the newspaper) expressing his disgust.

Jem: "No, Sir." This line. Jem, is a good son, and he disrespects his father's wishes in the most respectable way possible. And it's all Atticus' fault. Atticus does what is right. He is right to want to send the children away. Jem, following in Atticus, also does what is right. He stands by his father's side, against his father's wishes, because Jem knows he must. Why? Because it is the right thing to do.
