Reflection on TKAM movie PART 3
In response to your comment on my previous post, I think I would have kept in the scene when Ms. Maudie's house burns down and the scene when Jem and Scout have to read to Ms. Dubose. In the scene with the fire burning down Ms. Maudie's house, Boo Radley shows up. Apart from the end of the book, this is the only scene where we see Boo Radley's kindness. It is an important part of the plot, because the children describe Boo as a very nasty person, when in reality he is kind. When Jem and Scout read to Ms. Dubose and we find out she had a drug addiction, two big things happen. One is that Jem is taking another step to becoming a man. Another is that we realize how understanding and considerate Atticus is. He says that she is the bravest person he has ever met, because he knows the trouble she is going through. Although I would have liked these two scenes in the movie, they didn't really make a huge impact on the plot. Overall, this movie was a great interpretation of the book and I really enjoyed it.
