syn : gw mo yg 1984 dong…sisanya gw wiki dulu :D
ga usah pinjem syn, gw kasih dengan tulus =))

Gw ada The Zahir, Eleven Minutes, Veronika Memutuskan Mati *not really recommended* by Paolo Coelho, Sang Nabi *yang ini second bible gw*, Jesus Son of Man by Kahlil Gibran. 1984 by George Orwell, Sophie’s World by Jostein Gardner. Yang gw inget itu aja.

Oh iya, ada 1 yang recomended banget, Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. Idenya keren abis, dijelaskan dengan kalimat sebab akibat sederhana yang logis tapi menghancurkan konsep peradaban sekaligus religius yang dipercaya hampir umat manusia sedunia. Padahal ratusan halaman isinya cuman percakapan antara seorang manusia dengan seekor gorila. Menurut gw buku ini masterpiece jika ditinjau dari segi ide. Must read!

Btw, gw pinjem buku elu yang ini yak :D

The movie was more about the trial of Tom Robinson. In the first half of the movie, it focused about the children’s curiousity about Bo Radley. The music were between horror-like and fun-like. They cut most of the scenes in the school and Atticus’ family’s disagreement about how Atticus raised his children.

In the second part of the movie, it focused on the trial of Tom Robinson. It used less music and the absence of it really helped the atmosphere when the black community (plus Dill, Jem, and Scout) could not believed the jury’s verdict.

Gregory Peck’s Atticus Finch reminded me of Clark Kent. No wonder, Alex Ross (Kingdom Come, Justice, Marvel) used Gregory Peck as model of his Superman (and he used the young Gregory Peck as model of Bruce Wayne).

Calpurnia was slim on the movie. When I read the book, Calpurnia was fat on my imagination.

Scout on the movie was the girl on the cover of English version of “To Kill A Mockingbird” I had.

Bo Radley on the movie was exactly similar to what I had imagine: a shy and pale person.

punya buku2 yg bisa gw pinjem ga syn?

*i can give you that title if you want :p*

Btw, list ‘must read’-nya kok klasik semua yak. Trus ada winnie the pooh pulak :? Yang sesuai selera gw cuman The Alchemist sama The Prophet sama Life of Pi.

* Perhaps this is the most unimportant comment in the history of this blog :P *

Do not forget the cola guy, the one who perpetrated fraud to himself :))

The line `it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird` speaks volumes about the danger of preconceived notion about something else, and about making rash judgement based on superficial knowledge :p

I forgot to write about how bad black people treated in this book. Slavery was still there at that time right? If yes then you can not blame the author. Besides she pictured the majority of them good.

Bless me. I know a friend who has this movie :p

I read the book in Indonesian and English.
I agree.. Atticus Finch is the best father in history of fiction. My favourite is when Atticus had to shot a rabies dog and we were exposed to the past of Atticus. He could choose to be ignorance like his people but he chose to be example for Jem and Scout.

Most idealist I knew in history (fiction and real) were more like Jem.

Btw, a little bit background. The book was published for the first time in 1960. The Civil Right Movement maybe first time gained their moment in 1955 when Rosa Parks boycott Montgomery Bus. I think there was a reference to her in To Kill A Mockingbird (somewhere about a woman refused to give up her seat on the bus).

Then in 1960s we saw two guys with different characteristic became a symbol of Civil Right Movement. One was Martin Luther King Jr. while another was Malcolm X.

The story of the book itself was put on 1930s, when US had Great Depression.
