To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)

戏如人生，人生如戏。戏能做到不可能中的可能，包含的不仅是陶冶，娱乐，更是教育。我是爱戏之人，所谓Joy shared is joy doubled,有时不仅仅是要分享Joy,而会更自以为伟大地想把无价之宝传承，让永世受益。

哪有这么严重？lol

戏海茫茫，有时戏看得稍多，就会自以为知识虚长了一些，屁股痒就会暗自比较自己的心头好。我想这blog未来会有好多戏的的简介与一些个人卑微的简评，但好像缺了个开头。我想要为这一系列的涂鸦开个响头，越爆炸的越好。

To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)，是我枉活了20多年虚度无限光阴看了不少戏后，至今我心中的No.1。Period。不肯定它能否成为我的All-time No.1，但我现时今日还肯定他离我的No.2有段差距。

Adapted from Harper Lee's 1960 同名小说，To Kill a Mockingbird讲述一名律师父亲Atticus Finch(Gregory Peck饰）如何在一个白人至上的环境中维护一个被冤枉的黑人Tom Robinson的同时，也能对自己的儿子Jem,女儿Scout对当时社会的不公与偏见进行睿智的解释/维护。与此同时，Jem和Scout对他们神秘邻居天真无邪的探查历险记也带给他们一生中最珍贵的人生经历。当然经典戏改篇自书，这书自然是高手中的高手，但今天我只讨论戏版。

我可以蛮肯定的这出戏不仅是我的No.1,而是许许多多人的No.1。相信只要是看过这出戏的，而赏戏品位不会差之千里的，年龄也不相上下的，如无意外这肯定是No.1最热门戏选之一。

哪有这么夸张？？！我肯定一点也不。

它的经典神作之处，非笔墨口舌能说白。但我还是会试着说。这神作拿奖拿到手软，但有一奖却不可不提，其地位比Oscar还更具代表性，即标榜时代性的American Film Institute(AFI) 100 Years排行榜。Atticus Finch荣获100 Heroes排行榜No.1。手下败将包括No.2 Indiana Jones, No.3 James Bond No.26 Superman。重申这不是无聊排行榜，这是标榜时代风云的结论。精明的你定能看出问题：怎么凡人Atticus会是No.1英雄呢？

如果你有父亲,你最敬爱的我假设当然是你的亲生老豆,如果我假设错误,G.Peck所饰的单亲律师父亲Atticus肯定是你的Dream Father。不是因他有超能力，而是在于他如何教导孩子，如何感化孩子，如何消除孩子无可避免的偏见，如何尽自己的能力保护没办法保护自己的人。100年美国影片No.1英雄，就是这样而已。To Kill a Mockingbird的视窗角度来自Jem和Scout，在他们老豆的循循善诱下，这两个小冬瓜所看的世界虽成熟现实，却又不失小孩该有的童真可爱视窗。

此片既然是电影史经典中的经典，其中不少scene/quote当然是我们死了很久很久以后都会是永恒经典的。在此列一些。

To Kill a Mockingbird Memorable Scene:

1. 可爱Scout无心天真地对一群野蛮人的一段小演说，无意中保护了Atticus和Jem。

2. 可爱Scout和Jem和一个亲戚一天半夜去他们神秘邻居家探险的整段。

3. Atticus维护黑人，坏野蛮人和他女儿辩护等等一整段courtroom经典。

4. Courtroom楼上全体黑人静声起立当Atticus要经过他们的一小段。

5. Atticus被坏野蛮人吐口水的一小段。

6. 可爱Scout和Jem看Atticus枪杀疯狗的一小段。

7. 可爱Scout和Jem被坏野蛮人追杀的整段。

8. 可爱Scout最后意识到谁是她恐怖神秘邻居的一小段。

9. 可爱Scout在Atticus怀中，一起看着Jem的最后一段。

Lol,我意识到这样写下去不是办法，因为是写不完的。此片虽是黑白片，但不难看，不沉重，节奏轻快，浅白不刁钻，轻松有趣，看完了没有要你想很久，呆很久，看着时也没有要你想，英语也不难听，大家只要有少许耐心，定能看出其中的精华，可能你的人生体验会马上升级也说不定。我没有夸张。希望我有一天，也能和天真可爱Scout和Jem真正体会到Atticus要所有人都懂的-Not To Kill a Mockingbird。

"Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, they don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."

Memorable Quotes:

Atticus Finch: If you just learn a single trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.

Atticus Finch: There's a lot of ugly things in this world, son. I wish I could keep 'em all away from you. That's never possible.

Rev. Sykes: Jean Louise. Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passing.

Atticus Finch: I remember when my daddy gave me that gun. He told me that I should never point it at anything in the house; and that he'd rather I'd shoot at tin cans in the backyard. But he said that sooner or later he supposed the temptation to go after birds would be too much, and that I could shoot all the blue jays I wanted - if I could hit 'em; but to remember it was a sin to kill a mockingbird. 
Jem: Why? 
Atticus Finch: Well, I reckon because mockingbirds don't do anything but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat people's gardens, don't nest in the corncrib, they don't do one thing but just sing their hearts out for us.

Scout: Why there he is, Mr. Tate. He can tell you his name... [Looks at the man] 
Scout: Hey, Boo. 
Atticus Finch: [making introductions] Miss Jean Louise, Mr. Arthur Radley. I believe he already knows you.

Older Scout: [narrating] Neighbors bring food with death, and flowers with sickness, and little things in between. Boo was our neighbor. He gave us two soap dolls, a broken watch and chain, a knife, and our lives.

Older Scout: [narrating] I was to think of these days many times. Of Jem, and Dill, and Boo Radley, and Tom Robinson, and Atticus. He would be in Jem's room all night, and he would be there when Jem waked up in the morning.
