At first you feel you're watching a great movie but by the end you realize that you feel you were in the movie yourself. This film was so well done, so compelling, it broke the fifth wall. The film was powerfully true to the book not only true to the written words but also true to the spirit of the book. Exceptional acting, directing, cinematography, musicality, and did I mention the subtly epitome of the acting? A family film that will touch children and adults alike. You can learn something about the world, and life, from which you and your children can only gain and cherish. In one word this film is: Beautiful. Thank you for this film. Thank you.

I was tutoring a child that had to read it for school and wanted him to see the movie as well as myself. The movie was great. The children who played their parts were great as was Gregory Peck. When I read the book afterwards, I would always hear his voice in the father's quotes. The book centered itself on all the life in the south, all their struggles and how it was hard to be a Christian in such an atmosphere. The movie centered it's focus on the issue of black versus white. That was really only about 1/4 of the book. They missed so many other wonderful and amazing things that make the south different from the north.
Gregory gives a wonderful performance as a lawyer who is a widowed father of 2 children who defends a wrongly accused black man with a compassion that will touch your heart, and enjoyable watching to see his son and daughter in their experiences growing up.
