@LolitaCoke are you an idiot. this acting is horrific, and its not that deep, its not emotional. its terrible on every level. this video is making fun of her horrible acting. nice try.
@heatherxox371 Actually, I would say that YOU are the idiot. You try acting as well as her. There so much of feeling in her words and you can clearly tell that she's mad and upset. We all know your just jealous, so stop trying to make a good actress look bad just because you can't do what she can. Go make fun of an actor who is actually as "horrific" as you say.
Every single character in this film gave *amazing* performances.Atticus,Scout,Gem,Cal,the Sheriff,Tom Robinson,MayElla...even Robert Duvall,who was on screen for about 3 minutes and never said a word.No wonder it's considered one of the very finest English language films ever made.
this scene gives a hint to Mayella's state of being a victim , her words and attitude shout out her suffering , although to a human mind the words and conditions are not very logical , do not correspond .. maybe her acting and words should have been changed .. she could have looked down and said it in a low voice ... one other thing .. this shows she is angry at Tom Robinson .. why would she be angry at him ... then again this is fiction ... trying to send a message
The actress is Collin Wilcox Paxton, who always did such a great job (she's in a classic Twilight Zone ep. called "Number 12 Looks Just Like You" about a society that forces people to change the physical appearance to generic beauty.) She got the part by coming in close to this look. All the other actresses came in dressed well, but having grown up in North Carolina, she said she knew women like this and came dressed for the part.
Well the actress did her job good. She was meant to come off as very unlikeable and thats exactly how the actress played her. I wonder how may innocent black men met their dimise by incidents like this. Great movie.
mayella: i got something to say and then i aint gonna say no more... i am a little white trash whore that sleeps with almost every men and then when a black men interferes in my life i claimed that he raped me so i could see him get hanged and thats not all i am a white piece of shit just like any other rascist basturd and i am a dissapointment to all of mankind and should be exterminated immediately
@lovehamsters14 Really sad and spiteful character but that's an actress! She isn't ugly though if she fixed her hair etc, she was supposed to be made out as being a bit rough and not cared for.
this scene, not the ones of atticus and the black dude, this lady's speech was so moving. incredible the way the camera was close up on her. just so real and visceral.
I like how she makes it seem like she's talking about Tom, when in reality it's her father she's referring too. The acting in this movie is simply phenomenal
Breathtaking to think of in modern times. As far as the black defendant getting wronged, that's still a safe, politically correct hollywood subject. But, nowadays, saying in a major motion picture what is obvious to everyone but idiots and ideologuges, that women can and do lie about rape, is all but completely taboo. There is a similarity between the type of hateful totalitarianism exhibited by these rednecks today's feminists.
i tried out for the school play last week and got the honor of recieveing this part. alot of people were impressed mainly because it is a very smal and difficult part but it has a huge effect on the whole story. the author of the book said in an interview that she lied about tom to please her father and because she was sexually and physically abused she had no controll but she had complete and utter control of toms fate.
@nexlarx If you hate her, you need to reread the book, because her father is the real villain, not her. Yes, what she did was horrifying but you need to consider why she did it.
Mayella was in a very bad position--even if she stood up to her father, no one in town would have helped her get out of the situation she was in.
At one point, she may have wanted to break down--but one look from her so called father and she knew what was waiting for her if she did--a severe beating at least, and possiably death
:'( Poor Mayella, she is a victim of abuse, her own father, who had beaten her, is making her frame Tom. What a sick character. This book really brings out the cruelty
She should have been the female Brando of her era, but it was such a turgid, crappy, politically-correct script, bearing no more than a superficial resemblance to the novel that fifty million people loved...that we heard no more of her. But let us not blame Horton Foote for the script: it was Gregory Peck who seized upon the property as a great career-defining vehicle, and wanted to make himself the title character in 'Atticus Finch for the Defense.'
If you notice she doesn't mention Toms name. Perhaps subcontiously, 'he' is not Tom who took advantage of her, but her father, he who shall remain nameless out of fear as he systematically tortured her for all her life. And she was right abour what she said as all the town was so yellow as they did not stand up to Bob Ewell.
They do. Bob Ewell is actually a funny, charming man. But since he's racist, they turn him into a two-dimensional, frothing villain. They did pretty much the same to Mayella, but this scene really conveyed the pain she felt. Beautifully done. No, I don't think that the movie people read the book. Mrs. Dobose was in the book for a reason, and they ruined her. Read the book before making an adaptation, people!
thats so sad. shes accusing tom robinson of raping her when she really doesnt want to, because her stupid ass father would beat her to death if she wouldnt.
Mayella is a really sad character. Something the movie couldn't quite bring out was how she was a victim, not just the villain. She was a victim of circumstance, tortured by her father, neglected by the town, so lonely to the point that she immediately attached herself to the only person who had ever been nice to her. And because she never had a positive relationship with anyone she didn't know how to do it properly.
agreed.. the most powerful scene in the movie for me...she does represent so many white women in the south at that time and who made soo many false accusations against well intentioned black men felt sorry for them. Very sad, but true and powerful.
@sumirei001 I agree...I don't feel as much complexity, but the one button this actress pushes is desperation - there's such thrashing and blunt desperation as makes her voice raw and harsh as she screams. She's not suave and cleverly-spoken like Atticus in making arguments, but Mayella *has* to convince everyone or else she won't be able to go home - hell, her father probably would've beaten her to death. So I got the wild thrill of terror & self preservation in her speech
@sumirei001 good point. she too was a victim not courageous enough to buck the powerful system that expected her to lie for the sake of getting another black man off the streets. i'm so glad this book was written and the movie made to reflect the times of the "old" south. Things like this happened all the time in the south. So sad.
A lot of times whites would make up stories of white women being assaulted so they could lynch a black guy. TO BE CONT....
@sumirei001 Or if the BM/WW had consensual relations and say to everyone's surprise she popped out a black baby (or biracial technically) then she'd feel pressure to say she was raped because whites wouldn't want to believe that their "pure angels" would dare sleep with a "brute mandingo" Sad, sad, sad. Emmit Till was killed for simply whistling at a white woman and recently two black football players in Georgia were given prison sentences for statutory rape because but they were late let off.
@sumirei001 i understand that point of view. but she really was a bad characted due to the fact that she commited an "unspoken law" or society and tried to cover it up by blaming it on this poor blackman who just tried to help her out. She was a victim of child abuse and neglect but she then caused an innocent human be killed to cover for herself, callign it rape and not her coming on to him
@sumirei001 that was one of the things I think the movie did extremely well in its adaptation. This a great performance considering that she only has a few minutes on screen to get this idea across whereas the book has much more time to show us this. But then again everyone in this sceen is giving a really great performance.
@sumirei001 Yes, but when reading it points it out.. I actually read the audio book first, then later the book--- anyway, a great read. I genuinely see how this was in eye-opener when this book came out.
@sumirei001 ...exactly...sadly exactly RIGHT. The film really could not bring THAT out because we had three victims whose stories were so very complex for the time period it came out and the period the book was written in...Boo, Tom, Mayella...very sad indeed...May, in the court room, is really venting about NOT ever feeling like a properly respected white lady for the times...she was made to feel on Tom's level her whole life. So, being really mentally fucked up...she did this for respect.
@Mspendragon72 And also because her father was such a violent racist, that he was ashamed his daughter tried to have sex with a black man and likely forced her into the lie.
@ksim43 ..oh yeah...THAT'S a given. BUT HE DIDN'T have too very hard...SHE had the equal amount of fear coming from white society NOT just him, although he would have been sufficient alone . The fear she had also had to do with her father's fear from his own group. If it was seen as REALLY true that she had tried to lay with a "negro male"...he too would have gotten STOMPED by his own male group for what his daughter tried!! So it was complicated...she had NO choice in her vision.
then your english class is fileed with pathetic monkeybrained idiots true ignorance, lack of morals, hypocricy, and domestic violence are real issues and for a bunch of 13 year old kids to laugh at that in this very serious wonderful movie shows us why steaming piles of shit are beating out works of art at the box office
I hated her the first time I saw this movie a few years ago. Now that I'm writing a paper and actually reading what other people say, I feel some pity for Mayella.
I still don't like her, but she came out this way because of her dad. :/
Crocodile tears.... wouldn't fool anyone today, but back then, for a white person, especially a women, it could bring the whole court case to a close. Atticus tried his best to defend Tom, but he failed because of the jury's ignorance. Such a tragic fate...
Anyway, this film is one of my favorite, as with the novel. Pretty much one of the most perfect movies ever made.
the story is fab! i am reading it for lit in school, but got hooked as i flipped every single page... this character, is really portrayed badly. i HATE her. D;
wow worst actress ever, listen i haven't seen the movie and i cant find anything on youtube bout it except a couple of scenes does the ewell house ever come up in it? cuz if it does i wanna see wut it looks like :)
also its a great book im 3/4 of the way through it :D
craigzombar, if you have read the book, you should then understand how brilliant this acress was in this part. She has already been beaten & raped many times by her father, so she knows what is coming if she refuses to go along with his version of events. At the same time she knows she is condemning an innocent black man to death. She is both terrified & guilt stricken, which is why the actress said she made Mayella's body language so bizarre, & her speech so hysterical & confused. She's torn.
Probably an intentionally good thing; after all, she did lie about being raped, so she goes into this phony rage about how nobody is suddenly believing her. Hah. Poetic justice.
She wasn't raised that well, with an abusive dad and 7 sibilings, no friends, she wasn't raised in a loving manner. She was never taught manners. It's the dad's fault

Great, great movie --terrific, if often overlooked, performance by Wilcox of a truly pathetic, pitiable character.

residentevilgoddess 2 years ago
then your english class is fileed with pathetic monkeybrained idiots true ignorance, lack of morals, hypocricy, and domestic violence are real issues and for a bunch of 13 year old kids to laugh at that in this very serious wonderful movie shows us why steaming piles of shit are beating out works of art at the box office

I hated her the first time I saw this movie a few years ago. Now that I'm writing a paper and actually reading what other people say, I feel some pity for Mayella.
I still don't like her, but she came out this way because of her dad. :/

Crocodile tears.... wouldn't fool anyone today, but back then, for a white person, especially a women, it could bring the whole court case to a close. Atticus tried his best to defend Tom, but he failed because of the jury's ignorance. Such a tragic fate...
Anyway, this film is one of my favorite, as with the novel. Pretty much one of the most perfect movies ever made.

Hm...
Imagine if this scene was set in to---Wait. Tom wouldn't have even been ARRESTED! The police would've just laughed at her and called her stupid.
Goes to show you how an obviously innocent man can get shot down by...uh...um...people.

God I hate this book .___.
This and the part where Boo and Bob are in a tussle and Bob is smacking Scout's ham costume are, by far, the best.

atticus should've added in, "what man negro or white would want to take advantage of this sorry ass bitch?!?" he would have instantly won xD.

craigzombar93 2 years ago
craigzombar, if you have read the book, you should then understand how brilliant this acress was in this part. She has already been beaten & raped many times by her father, so she knows what is coming if she refuses to go along with his version of events. At the same time she knows she is condemning an innocent black man to death. She is both terrified & guilt stricken, which is why the actress said she made Mayella's body language so bizarre, & her speech so hysterical & confused. She's torn.
hiyadroogs 2 years ago 3
wow mayella cant really act but thats beside the point... she was raised in an aweful manner and deserves better. plus her fathers kinda ugly
Bloodsummoner2008 2 years ago
her acting is kind of retarded.
nasrifu 2 years ago
Probably an intentionally good thing; after all, she did lie about being raped, so she goes into this phony rage about how nobody is suddenly believing her. Hah. Poetic justice.

She wasn't raised that well, with an abusive dad and 7 sibilings, no friends, she wasn't raised in a loving manner. She was never taught manners. It's the dad's fault
