I have read the book, but can hardly remember it – only the main plot, not many of the details. The film brought some of these details back.
I do remember that I thought the book was excellent. The film too, was very good. I think it brought across the main characters really well. I did think the courthouse speech that Atticus gave seemed a slight bit out of character, but, the rest of it seemed spot on. I do need to read the book again.
The child actors were very good too, in my opinion, which was obviously important, as they are quite important characters in the story.
If you haven’t seen this film, I think it’s definitely worth keeping an eye out for it – if not on DVD, then on TV, if it’s on.
I give it 8/10.
