  • i loved this book... i didn't have to read it... but I had to pick a book for an analysis and i picked this one.... it was so good..

  • I have just finished this book, I am 12. Thumbs up!? Come on!!!!

  • All of these books are all the same: to show how bad white people are. Well no, there are many books exactly like thus one, roll of thunder here my cry or the secret life of bees that just try to make white people feel bad about themselves, even if they weren't even born at the time

  • I love Gregory Peck's voice!

  • Ahh...this is such a classic. I can watch it a 100 times.

  • i'm reading the book now, almost finished though..i love Scout!(:

  • I read this book for a book report and it is the best ever!!!

  • Im getting to the end of this book. Its a really good book! Hope to watch the movie soon!

  • The movie is brilliant. I've watched it couple of nights ago. Then, instantly fell in love it! Gregory Peck is an amazing actor!

  • If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. I have to writ a speech on why people should adopt the cunningham code of honour, if anyone could give me any ideas it would be appreciated.

  • 1:55 whats this awesome song called lol

  • @CarlossWorld Shazam it. That's what I always do.

    

  • @enrk2006 I did shazam got no match :P

  • what? i expected HD!

  • one should come out 4 2012

  • probably the best novel i have read so far! surely one of my favorites

  • Great Novel, great movie....the movie was very accurate to the book. :) Both amazing

  • @168rawr do you go to glendora high school

  • This book is amazing. It really gets you thinking about injustice. I LOVED it!

  • we watched this movie in class, next year we're studying it for school for 10th grade :P

  • I'm in 7th grade and I read this book and I absolutley loved it!!!

  • The book in some parts took me a bit to comprehend, especially the end. Its one of the books that means ALOT more than what's simply written which made me like it so much. If you are a "shallow" reader, just try to think deeper and you'll respect its themes like I do

  • I have 2 read the book 4 school and I also read it 4 choice and I <3 it!!!!!!! ITS SO GOOD!!!!

  • the book is cool.The movie is even better in my eyes.

  • The first chapter is really slow, but you gotta give it a chance. Its really good. I have to read it for school.

  • @pebble37lifter I am also 15 and this book did exactly the same to me.

  • This is an amazing book, I'm 15 and this was just one of those books that made me just relax and do nothing the whole afternoon and review my outlook on life. I would have just used to play video games but this just made me realize how little of the world I've experienced and how empty my life is.

  • I would like to see the movie in my class after we read the book even through I'm the only one reading it except for two others

  • I read this out of my own choice years ago. Not for school. stop thinking of this as work for school, its an amazing book.

  • My favorite book and movie. Both magnificent and filled with the heart of a child and the good and evil of the world

  • am i racist but i hope whites never go extinct , i want them to be the majority

  • one of the year's TEN BEST

  • @aoifebbz1997 That's good to hear.

  • @aoifebbz1997 Clearly you're only 14. Once you grow up you'll understand the greatness of this tale.

  • i thought the finch family was black until halfway during the book :S

  • @SweetishBerriiee Same hahaha

  • This book and this movie ... wonderful!

  • I'm reading this for school & I'm in 7th grade! I think it really is the best book! I'm to chapter 28! -3

  • Lol, look at all these haters here. Probably 20-year-old illiterate retards with the maturity level of a newborn. Losers, LOL!!

  • THIS MOVIE WAS SOOOOO FUCKING BORING

  • THIS MOVIE SUCKS DICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Harper Lee should of got a Nobel peace prize

  • @fr34k1npk3z2 Well she got the Presidential Medal of Freedom...

  • I hate it when the exam boards suddenly decide that a great piece of literature will be 'studied'. Inept teachers ruin the text and make it boring, while all the students grow to loathe what are actually very good books. It was always lost on me why this book should be studied by kids anyway... It's pretty fucking deep as books go.

    As to those who say it's boring, go watch some Reality TV - ignorance is bliss after all

  • @aoifebbz1997 this book is soo boring !!

  • @xxrightleftxx keep reading, a lot of action actually happens :)

  • @xxrightleftxx What do you have, a short attention span or something?

  • @VideoGameResearcher What...stfu was i talking to you?Ok then.

  • @xxrightleftxx Well you are commenting on a PUBLIC BOARD. It isn't like you was having a private convo with that person........

  • this movie is a sham, i sat through the hole thing and it didnt give me one tip in killing mockingbirds!

  • @paudiemaguire1 are you trying to be clever?

  • @paudiemaguire1 That's why it doesn't say "How" :P

  • @paudiemaguire1 Remember the part when Jem pointed his gun at a bird? Atticus then stopped him & told him it was a sin to kill a mockingbird. The point of this book is exploring human morality. I think that has something to do with the title choice. It's a rather nice title for a book too.

  • @paudiemaguire1 Wow. What and idiot.

  • @logandh2 its a joke............. idiot

  • @paudiemaguire1 Oh excuse me. Aha... haha.. ha. Idiot.

  • I love this book (:

  • I fell in love with Atticus, there must me more guys like him nowadays :)

  • PARTY AT JAY GATSBYS SATURDAY WOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • I have to read this in school too & its not boring. It's just kinda hard to understand it because it's written in old english.

  • @Courtfab21 You mean written in southern drawl?

  • @aoifebbz1997 i know how sad that was !!! i swear i will not get that bored ever again lol !!!

  • love scout she's sooo cute

  • I had to read it for school, thought I would hate it, but it was actually a really good book!

  • @aoifebbz1997 same lol im bored so i randomly typed this in :D

  • everybody, please shut up. This trailer may suck in this day in age, but the book is amazah.

    And yes, I saw the movie too. It wasn't half-bad.

  • I'm eleven, i picked up this book and I couldn't put it down! I absolutely love it!!!

  • @aoifebbz1997 its really good :)

  • @aoifebbz1997 Yeah me too.....

  • I chose to read this book. No one recommended it to me. I just wanted to read an old timey- American classic. I'm in fifth grade. Thumbs up? Oh come on, at least a high five!!!

  • @cheniebofinie1 *high fives* yay for literate youth!

  • @cheniebofinie1 Good for you! Great book. 'Scout' is actually a portrayal of Harper Lee and her life growing up. When you get a little older, look up an author named 'Truman Capote'. He and Harper Lee were best friends growing up and the character of 'Dill' is based on him.

  • @cheniebofinie1 High Five! :D

  • @aoifebbz1997 it's good

  • I don't mean to spoil the ending....But when Boo brings Jem in to the house, and Atticus calls for Scout, he asked her what happened. How does Atticus NOT see Boo come in his house...? And then behind the door...?

  • The booksellers of this book must have a lot of money, because just about every kid in the world is forced to read it at school. But that isn't a problem though because I LOVE the book!

  • 0:29 "10s of billions of people" there arent that many people in the world buddy

  • @THEAWSHUM I'm pretty sure he said "10s of millions"

  • @aoifebbz1997 I heard half way it sucks, but the ending is great lmao.

  • @aoifebbz1997 Was it a good book?

  • @T3hTroll I hate reading and I read this just for fun it was AMAZING I guarantee it

  • scout isn't that cute like she seems in the book

  • @aoifebbz1997 it's crazy good!! :)

  • I dunno with you but...Jem is kinda...good looking...*cougheherm*...hot..­.

  • @aoifebbz1997 I just finished reading it. It was amazing, I'm really glad they made me read it.

  • I love atticus the most and the 3 kids as well

  • I <3 Scout , Atticus, Jem, Dill, To Kill A Mockingbird the novel & movie and of course I <3 Gregory Peck in this role.

  • you guys have to stop hating. this is the greatest work of American literature...ever

  • @metallicjohn I agree.

  • Im trying to read it, but its a bit hard for me to understand :( i realy want to read it , though. But whats the point of reading it , if i dont understand it

  • @towerprep4ever you should get the spark notes for this book! it really helped me understand the book and analyze it better (:

  • reading the book for my school. :D

  • This is my FAVOURITE black and white film :D

  • @Green19Frog94 What do you mean? haha! u know what i mean?

  • aaww man...i loved this movie soo much...sad they dont make this kind of movies any more :/

  • fake and gay

  • Sure it's a good book with a very fantastic moral behind it, but the first 100 pages or so don't seem necessary at all. (especially the first 20-30) It was so boring, but I was compelled to read it because we had to read it for English...

    It did get really good and I will admit that it was touching, therefore making it a nice read. However, a book that's sold millions should be more gripping. She's a good author but she just doesn't know how to hook people at the start...

    Boring, but good.

  • @aoifebbz1997 It's really good, man, even if you don't like reading. I was assigned it over the summer.

  • I'm glad I didn't have to read this book for school, reading books for something just makes it drag on. But I read it in my own time and I devoured it in one day, and I just wanted to say to everyone whinging about having to read it that it's a beautiful novel.

  • the movies gonna totally ruin my imagination

    i'll finish the book in a few days and wait until im so bored to death that i dont have anything to do then i'll watch the movie

  • @macstjo The book's AMAZING. Give it a chance! There's a reason it lives on. I have to read it for school too. I just hate the fact we have to do all these 'activities' over it. :/

  • Have to read the book and take notes as a summer assignment and Im going to 7th grade,First day of school,take test over it and then start writing an AP essay over it.DONT GO TO ADVANCED CLASSES!

  • @MsChococat99 same here ''/ except i'm going to the 10th grade instead of the 7th lol

  • gay movie

  • nice movie

  • I can't believe I had to watch this boring-ass film in English, and do an assessment on it..-,-

  • For my GCSE's i have to read and study the book for my exam in the summer term 2012. so can somebody give me an idea about what the book is about and is it good? becasue so far ive read the first couple of pages and it doesnt interest me. also should i watch the film before reading the book or would you read the book first?

  • @01Mohini Just finished reading the book a couple of hours ago. It would be the 3rd time that I tried to read it and finally able to finish it. You just have to endure the first coupe of pages. But once you feel you're already part of the book (Lee's one heck of a visual author I tell you) you'll enjoy it. It is one of the very few books I've read that really moved me. Go on and enjoy. :D

  • to kill a mockingbird is one of my favourite books and so does the film...

  • I am only compelled to watch this movie because of Robert Duvall as boo, book was extremely dissapointing

  • I was assigned to read this book for my 8th grade English class and I just finished it today... It was so good!!! The beginning was a tad boring but as you got further into it, it got better and better. This one definitely touched me - it's not easy for me to get touched by a book btw. Read. 

  • This is my favorite novel so far!

  • Best movie ever. Very inspirational. 

  • I just started this book. Hate it so far. Don't want to read it.

  • @LeenaTiger It gets MUCH better. The court chapters are some of the greatest chapters I ever read in a novel.

  • the whole point is about the quote 'you can shoot all the bluejays you want but it is a sin to kill a mockingbird'

    'they don't do one thing but sings their hearts out for us' or something like that

    it's about innocence and characters in the book are mockingbirds, it's about judging people

  • @johnnybugify read the book, smartie.

  • FAKE AND GAY

  • i wish movies were like this now a days 

    can some one please give me a list of similar movies to this one

  • @RayWilliamJohansen This movie is one-of-a-kind. But one movie that comes to mind is "Les Miserables" (1970s version). That one is all about doing what is right in spite of the personal cost.

  • @omgbygollywow

    thank you

  • Comment removed

  • @RayWilliamJohansen 'a time to kill' is quite a good movie..you know quite similar with to kill a mockingbird in terms of the legal issues and the color issues..but i don't think there's anything like 'to kill a mockingbird'..it's amazing in every level and i wonder why people keep debating about gregory's winning an oscar.he deserved it..he sounded and looked similar from what i imagined he would be in the book..but again...u r right..i wish there were movies like this nowadays

  • Universal Pictures' Greatest Achievements: All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) Psycho (1960) Spartacus (1960) To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) Jaws (1975) National Lampoon's Animal House (1978) The Deer Hunter (1978) The Blues Brothers (1980) E.T. the Extra Terrestrial (1982) Back to the Future (1985) Out of Africa (1985) Backdraft (1991) Jurassic Park (1993) Schindler's List (1993) Apollo 13 (1995) The Mummy (1999) A Beautiful Mind (2001) Seabiscuit (2003) Ray (2004) King Kong (2005)
  • @cinemapsycho91 That's definitely a great list, but don't forget Frankenstein (1931), Dracula (1931), Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923), The Wolf Man (1941), The Mummy (1932), The Invisible Man (1933), Phantom of the Opera (1925), Werewolf of London (1933), and Vertigo (1958).

  • @IDaCashman Those are also amazing movies, but those would come later on the list, and I believe Werewolf of London was released in 1935. Thanks for your feedback.

  • @cinemapsycho91 Did I write 33? Meant to say 35.

    And C'Mon. You gotta admit Frankenstein and Dracula have impacted the film industry and public conscience more then The Deer Hunter and Out of Africa.

    But I those two comments make a complete list.

  • @IDaCashman No worries. There's no doubt that Universal Pictures are responsible for the first horror/monster movies, but I just think that The Deer Hunter and Out of Africa are more poignant than the films you mentioned.

  • @cinemapsycho91 Fair argument.

    Although Frankenstein (1910), Nosferatu (1922), and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920) came before all those films and are the earliest famous versions of each film. Although, Universal did make a 1913 version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Furthermore, though accidentally scary and meant as a comedy, The Devil's Tower (1896) is widely regarded as the first "horror" film.

  • @IDaCashman Very true. AND let's not forget that Universal is also responsible for the first REALISTIC horror movie with a REALISTIC villain, Psycho (1960).

  • @cinemapsycho91 Oh hell yeah!

    There were a few films that had a "realistic" villain and a "realistic" mood of horror before, but none that impacted Horror as much up until Psycho.

  • @IDaCashman GLAD YOU AGREE!!!

  • Im 13 and i read the book and loved it. I really want to watch the movie but i dont know if i can rent it or not.

  • @velma3821 you can watch it on youtube for free

  • @marinogomez619 oh cool thanks :D

  • @velma3821 Why would you not be able to rent it?

  • @IDaCashman i was just thinkin cuz its so old they might not have it in rental stores

  • they shouldnt make a modern movie of this, i think it would ruin the effect :)

  • they shouldnt make a modern movie of this, i think it would ruin the effect :)

  • loved that book (: yea im only 14

  • @sites4life0829 im only 14 years old too and like u i love this movie and the book

  • This told me nothing of how to kill a mockingbird!

  • @johnnybugify what are you talking about?

    Yes it does!

  • @johnnybugify ur stupid

  • @johnnybugify That's VERY sad that you were not able to learn how to shut someone up, or to make eat their words. I'd be ashamed to admit that! :~/

  • @johnnybugify if you don't understand the meaning of this movie...i feel sorry for you.

  • @tylercalebconnor /watch?v=rPNO2BVT1NM - does this explain one point?

  • @johnnybugify

    Awww! You got here just 4 months before me!

  • like cancer man said from the x files why watch the movie when there is a book

  • AWESOME MOVIE

  • they should make a moderne movie

  • Our teacher skipped over the good parts of this movie and the book and just wouldn't shut up she butchered it completely and only word comes to mind about this teacher is asinine!

  • to kill a mockingbird sucks!! i hate it

  • Someone here suggested a remake??? That would be sacrilegious...I think I just stopped breathing!

  • Peck's performance is outstanding!

  • I have to admit, the book is so much better.

    The movie is great, but the book gives so much more detail and awesome-ness!

  • @CelticTears101

    Agreed.
