Comparison with a Movie :


As you All know that My Novel
for today is ; To kill a Mocking
Bird Comparison with a Movie
Heavens Fall .
Heavens fall is a 2006 American
filmed, based on Scottsboro boys
incident of 1931. Two young
women accuse nine black youths
of rape in the segregated South.
A tragic true story began in the
spring of 1931 when nine black
men were pulled off an Alabama
fright train and accused of raping
two young white women. The
nine men were quickly tried and
sentenced to the electric chair.
News of their convictions spread,
forcing an appeal to the United
States Supreme Court.
This is a powerful true story and
it is well told in this gripping
drama which is endued with a
powerful performance by Timothy
Hutton, who plays New York
attorney Sam Leibowitz. He
travels to Alabama in 1933 to
defend nine black men who are
falsely accused of rape.But he
has to contend with racism and
prejudice. This became as the
Scottsboro case. The story
unfolds and we begin to learn of
the unreliable testimony of the
two main witness and of the jury
selection, which includes no
blacks and is a joke in how it is
put together. Yet Leibowitz
hammers away at the
inconsistencies of the witnesses
and their testimonies, and puts
together a decidedly solid case in
defending Haywood Patterson
and the others.
The novel , To kill a Mocking Bird’
and the Movie both shares same
feats and attributes, the south
part of America where Racism
cruelty, inequality and inhuman
behavior towards black
community and dark history of
white Americans. In the
movie, the scenario in the end,
the main quotation from the jury,
As the jury find the defendant
guilty as charged fix the
punishment of death in the
electric chair. In these modern
times we see protest under the
banner ‘Black lives matter’ in so
called America, the land of
freedom. Both the Novel and
Movie itself shares same aspects
and similarities, the so called
America, the way say that
“America is the land of freedom”
but the hypocrisy of the white
Racist Americans, their justice, is
just the example of ”favoritism”
the jury in the novel and the jury
in the movie both are racist and
dishonest with their conscience
and duty.
Thank you.
