To Kill a Mockingbird was written and filmed from the kid's point of view. That's where the warmth and humor comes from. Any other treatment of such a story would come off as either preachy or cold.To Kill a Mockingbird is one the few movies that's as good as the book. It deals with a very serious subject but yet it's filled with warmth and humor. It will forever be one of my favorites.
I agree movies like Jaws and Star Wars are certainly not very thought provoking or orginal yet I find them entertaining which is what the industry is all about, making money entertaining people.There once was a time when Hollywood made great films. Stories, characters, fascinating cinematography and direction and themes smart people could relate to. And there was a new breed of director who worked apart from the collapsing studio system. Film makers like Hal Ashby, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Roman Polanski and Robert Altman produced wonderful, thoughtful films.
Then came the blockbuster. Jaws, the Star Wars franchise and other such 'stuff' killed the movies. I suggest you take a look at what measures movie success: the revenue. That metric has made it damn near impossible for anyone who is not a fifteen year old comic book fan to find an interesting film.
Damn Spielberg and Lucas to the fiery regions for their part in making movies stupider by money.

Blockbuster movies such as Star Wars, Jaws, the whole Spiderman franchise and The Avengerswere not produced to make smart people happy at the movies. They were made to make money off of stupid people and little kids. Sophistication is lost on modern movie makers, as it appear to be lost on you.Damn Spielberg and Lucas to the fiery regions for their part in making movies stupider by money.
This from the guy that thinks there are handguns with no metal parts and it takes special ammunition to penetrate bullet resistant vests.
Sorry, what were you saying about stupid? Or do you just believe everything you see in the movies?

Again calling other people stupid! Need a spoon to slurp up that bowl of irony?
Please thrill us with your intelligence as relates to plastic guns and magic bullets.

Perhaps once reading comprehension is taught at your school, you'll be more interesting to chat with. Have a nice summer! I hope you like your teacher next Autumn.

I see you can dodge your claim of intelligence on this thread as well as another thread in which you demonstrate profound ignorance and stupidity...then ran away like a school child. What was that about a teacher in the Autumn?
Go shoot your gun and have what amounts to big fun. I'll watch classic cinema and get enlightenment.
Sometimes it's a terrible thing being the smartest guy in the room.
I never believed that citizens should own ammunition that can pierce a bullet proof vest, nor a handgun that can make it past a metal detector.
