Essay On The Differences Between To Kill A Mockingbird Book And Movie

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee has been noted as the best novel in America. This story narratives the life of youthful Scout and Jem Finch, and their dad Atticus, as they experience the trials of living in a small town in Alabama in the 1930s. At the point when this novel was to be transformed into a movie, the director was sure to have faced many the difficulties of transforming a novel into a film. It is hard to do so, while making this film essentially the same as the novel. The film did have some missing pieces, but I do believe the director did a decent job capturing the intent and meaning of the novel.
In To Kill a Mockingbird, there were numerous similarities between the novel and movie. The standout amongst them was the actions of Atticus Finch towards Tom Robinson, an African American man Atticus was defending. Atticus is requested to defend Tom Robinson after he was accused of sexually assaulting a white woman. In the novel, it is shown that Atticus was were
passionate in defending and winning the trail for Tom knowing that everyone was in the wrong. The movie portrayed this perfectly by showing how Atticus went to Tom Robinson’s to insure his wife that he would try everything he did to defend the case and pointing out the little but crucial things tied to the people trying to prove Tom guilty. For example, a scene in the movie showed how Atticus pointed out that Tom was unable to use his left hand therefore not being able to have punch Mayella on her right side, the woman who was supposedly assaulted. This was seen in the novel where Tom Robinson stated, “I can't use my left hand at all. I got it caught in a cotton gin when I was twelve years old. All my muscles were tore loose.” Atticus was able to prove his point and like many times, before proved that Tom was innocent. Another likeness involving Tom Robinson’s death. Tom Robinson died trying to escape from jail both in the book aa well as in the film. As I would see it this event was essential to the story, and I trust the movie would have been viewed as having a deus es machina if the writers had given him a chance to live. One of the most obvious was an older Scout Finch, which makes the story sort of like a flashback. Another vital similitude between the book and film, is the common interest between Arthur Radley and the kids. Arthur, or Boo as they called him, gifted them things, for example, dolls, a watch, and biting gum in the empty of a tree in his yard. The kids made trips to the Radley house to look in the window to make sure they could get a look at Boo Radley. I believe this captivation was essential to the story line since it was the main establishment of the kids' creative energy. A major some portion of the story was envisioning Boo to be some sort of oddity that turned out during the night to eat felines and squirrels.
The title of the novel is another obvious similarity, but the meaning is really captured in the movie.
In the novel Miss Maudie explains, “Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mocking bird.” Even Boo Radley is only seen towards the end of the movie, it is still shown how friendly he is through is act of basically saving Jem and Scout. The title alludes to pure individuals like Tom Robinson and Boo Radley who, similar to the mockingbird, just wish to bring a little bliss into a brutal world.
The film and novel of To Kill a Mockingbird have numerous similarities, yet are both a lamentable story of racial unfairness in the 1930s. It is difficult to make a film be precisely the same as a novel. A director needs to attempt to transform characters into genuine individuals, and exchange the subject of the story into the
film
