The Movie

In the court scene of the book To Kill a Mockingbird I imagined it almost exactly how it was portrayed in the movie. For example I saw the court room of people and how the lower and upper decks were and it was almost exatly like in my mind and it was just like the book described. The judge also looked like how I thought he would look sitting up on his little stand. When Mayella appeared I thought that she looked exactly what my personal interpretation was of her. A kind of gross, greasy woman and thats what she looked like in the movie.

Even though many things were the same in the court scene in the movie as in the book there were a couple of differences. Such as, how I pictured Tom Robinson different then how he was portrayed in the movie. I thought his left arm was going to be like half the size of his right arm but that wasn't the case. I also imagined that the place where the lawyers question people would have its own little stand kind of like in law and order shows but instead it was just a measly little chair. When I saw Bob Ewell I actually thought that he looked to clean and just normal compared to everyone eles where in the book he's portrayed as a grody man below the average person in Maycomb which did not come through for me in the movie.
