11/14/2020 The movie was awesome and had brought out good lessons for the society and children. See more 08/28/2020 Amazing film and the Elmer Bernstein score is so memorable. I always love the opening with the child's memory box. See more 08/29/2013 It's about what it says it's about - and the problem with this documentary is that, although it may cover every possible thing about Harper Lee and 'To Kill a Mockingbird' - there's only so much you can say. We learn about Lee's childhood and the people who inspired the characters in her book. We hear admirers discuss and justify the fact that she never wrote another book. And most of all we hear LOTS of people tell us how wonderful, daring, timely, and important the book was and always will be. The little fact that fascinated me most was the claim that she had submitted her manuscript around LOTS of places, got lots of rejection - but that the house that eventually published it... saw lots of problems in that draft. So evidently, she had a really good editor who over the course of two years helped her shape a series of vignettes into a cohesive story. If you love love love this book, you'll want to spend an hour and a half learning more about it. For me, this documentary lacked consequence.
