To Kill a Mockingbird Review (Blog #8)

The part I enjoyed of To Kill a Mockingbird was the acting and the visuals. Jim, played by Kevin Davis portrayed the character as was in the book. His acting was very realistic, he was emotional was when he needed to be, he acted innocent when he was in court. I enjoyed watching grown up Scout become the narrator, I thought that fit into the story perfectly. I thought their clothes fit the time period perfectly. Danielle Milano did a very good job in portraying Scout as a very innocent childish tomboy.

Her overalls and short hair portray the time period and her being a tomboy.

Young Scout was played by Milano well with a very strong and convincing country accent, but despite this she seemed to have a quiet voice naturally and was often overpowered by the music. Jem, played by Jordan Abronson was also a very suitable actor for his character. He displayed through his acting exactly what the audience was looking for, a curious young boy who had no idea what was going on in the trials, but at the same time was very eager and insisting on learning more about his father's trials. 

Jem, sitting in a crowd of black folks in the trial. His eyes seem to be filled with wonder and curiosity about what could be going on during the trials and what it might be about.

Atticus Finch's character was played by Galleron, and he was a very suitable person for the role. His calm and very subtle attitude portrayed Atticus as if he were straight from the book itself. Galleron also depicted Atticus's change of personalities when necessary. During the speech he became very serious and aggressive with his words to make sure that he was heard and his message went to everyone's head. 

Atticus Finch's character is a difficult character to act. One must be able to imitate his actions and personalities, happiness with his children and aggressiveness in the court.
