You'll understand when you see the film.
I don't believe there's ever been a more compelling story told on the screen than this one.
Before we had "political correctness" endlessly jammed down our throats, this film perfectly demonstrates and defines the morality behind that insipid, over-used phrase. It speaks in the language of its time, as did Mark Twain when he wrote 'Huckleberry Finn', a classic, brilliant book removed from libraries for the use of a single word. How short-sighted and narrow-minded to pretend the past never existed.
'To Kill a Mockingbird', made in 1962, tells the story of a father educating his children honestly in the way life works during the depression years of the 1930's in the deep south, . He doesn't soft-soap his messages, but tells them gently, yet forthrightly in ways they'll understand.
The entire cast was perfect. The directors' touch so seamless it appeared as if there wasn't one, and making it in black and white was genius.
If you never buy another movie, your video library will be short a classic.
