: To Kill a Mockingbird
One of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Amazing. I’ve started the book (I’m on page 2 now ;-). I thought this was about racism or something, and while I knew it was good, I wasn’t enthusiastic about having such a heavy subject pounded over my head. But instead this turned out to be about a six-year-old tomboy and her experiences growing up and how she sees the world. Amazing. (Sure, racism is hinted at. Her father is a lawyer and defending a black man accused of raping a white woman. But you see this from the perspective of the little girl who doesn’t really understand any of that, and it’s quite profound and different. I wish I’d read this 20 years ago.)
