The movie “To Kill A Mockingbird” is based on the story of a young girl named Jean Louise Finch. He tells the story of his childhood in the deep South, where racial discrimination was present in everyday life. It shows how his widowed father defends a black man when all hope is lost. The theme of the film is timeless. It’s still relevant and controversial. Harper Lee wrote: "As you get older, you will see white men cheating on black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and remember this: every time a white man does this to a black man, no. no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how nice a family he is, he is trash. » This quote emphasizes that no matter how much money a man has or his place on the social ladder, his actions and his humanity are what define him. The film appealed to me because it told many stories and lessons about inequality and injustice in society. The main theme and central focus of the book is the racial tension of the time, an alleged crime, and the resulting trial. Society is structured into two classes: white members of society who make laws and impose punishments and black members of society who are treated as second-class citizens. African Americans in the community face discrimination, are poor, and live in fear of retaliation for any perceived slights. Racism and intolerance are evident and widespread. In this context, a poor black man is accused of raping a white woman. Tom Robinson faces not only a serious crime, but also a death sentence at the hands of racists. Atticus, the father of the Scouts, never gives up. He also never lets himself be overwhelmed by gossip or peer pressure because he is strong in spirit. He fights for what he believes and what he does... middle of paper ... guns. Trayvon's body was checked and he was not carrying any weapons and was simply going to the house where he was temporarily living in the gated community of Twin Lake. It seems you had to be a black man to be considered a threat. Unfortunately, a jury ruled in favor of George Zimmerman. Fear, hatred, distrust and intolerance continue to plague our society. It is thanks to men and women like Atticus Finch that society will be able to move forward. These are the differences I can see between the setting and the period. I would recommend the movie "To Kill A Mockingbird" to my friends because it contains many lessons that can be used in everyday life. The film highlights intolerance and how it can tear society apart. This forces the viewer to take a closer look at themselves and at the same time serves as a good role model for Atticus Finch..
