It's a shame.I loved the book and the movie. It's sad and disappointing that Harper Lee couldn't just leave the memories alone. She had to write a sequel that destroyed the uplifting integrity of Atticus by showing him to be a racist. I grow weary of people who must destroy their own culture for the sake of doing some kind of weird penance.
You are in for a real treat. IMO it's one of Gregory Peck's best roles and his character, Atticus Finch, is the most powerful part of a wonderful novel. Harper Lee also does a near-perfect job of describing the details of life in the south back in the day. For southerners of a certain age, it's a timeless work.I should see it. I have step great grandchildren who are named from characters in the story. I've never read the book.
I think I will love it! I have always loved it when an author can place me in a time and place I'd never otherwise have known. I like Eudora Welty for this reason.You are in for a real treat.

Good suggestion. I will.Record it. It's not PC and will be canceled by the left soon...
Little factoid:
The woman dubbed "The Fruitcake Lady" on Jay Leno's Tonight Show is the neighbor who sits on the porch one evening with Gregory Peck in, To Kill a Mockingbird.
You should read the book...and watch the movie. They are not entirely the same. I find most adaptations of books in movies to not be capture all of the nuances found in the book.I should see it. I have step great grandchildren who are named from characters in the story. I've never read the book.
Oh, of course the book is always more nuanced! I'm going to go to Amazon and buy a copy of both, book and DVD. Hope the DVD is not already censored. I've been buying a lot of books the last year and a half or two years -- the stuff that I know they're going to want to put down the memory hole.You should read the book...and watch the movie.

Eudora Welty...another fine example of literary artists from Mississippi.I think I will love it! I have always loved it when an author can place me in a time and place I'd never otherwise have known. I like Eudora Welty for this reason.
