To Kill a Mockingbird


left trailing in the dust behind


A Time to Kill


1


     Some people believe that movies that are based or modeled after books are cut up to


fit the most important scenes in therefore making the viewer lose some its intensity, But


undoubtedly to anyone the movie A Time to Kill is much more intense than Harper Lee’s


To Kill a Mockingbird. This movie has a lot of violent content which penetrates whoever


is watching. Also the topic of racism is expressed more openly and taken to a whole new


level. Most importantly we are touched deeper by the family relations within the movie


than we are to the book. To summarize shortly the movie A Time to Kill is much more


intense than To Kill a Mockingbird.


     Violence seems to catch everyone’s eye and create a tenser atmosphere for everyone


and the director of the movie A Time to Kill truly outdid Harper Lee in this department.


From the very get go of the movie we witness a scene which is extremely disturbing, the


rape of young Tonya this without argument is the single most violent portrayal in the


movie where within the To Kill a Mockingbird the most violent scene in the movie is


where Mr. Ewell attempts to murder Atticus’ children and even here as we are informed


by Dr. Reynolds Scout had escaped with only a bump on her head and Jem with a broken


arm. The movie and book are very similar in the themes and most events that occur but


the movie elaborates on these in a much more violent way as shown in one example the


theme of what goes around comes around in the book is portrayed by the death of the


innocent Tom Robinson who was if everything is taken into account killed because of


Bob Ewell who later died himself. In the movie this kind of issue was encountered when


two white men raped little Tanya, these men later suffered when Carl Lee shot them both.
