We've been watching To Kill a Mockingbird movie for few days now. Things are pretty much similar to what I have imagined. Especially the part where Jem and Scout was coming back from Scout's play was almost as same as I had expected. I imagined the scene where everything is dark with trees all around them. However, the costume of Scout was a bit different that I thought. I expected to see a roll of bacon, even though her costume was a ham, I thought it would look like that. The ham costume that Scout wore in the movie looked a bit like a glass bottle. Plus, there was a big hole on the costume so she could actually see what is going on, while I thought the hole was quite small. Still, everything else was so similar to the scene that I imagined. Even the action of Bob Ewell attacking Jem and Scout was similar too. Bob Ewell was over the two kids and threw Jem and Scout, trying to beat them down.
Since the movie was made a long time ago, the screen was grayscaled. However, I thought the settings, such as the house, the clothes people wore, the cars were perfect. I guess the makers of the movie could take advantage of grayscale since the quality is a little bit low, maybe people couldn't see some errors. Anyhow, the actors were great. I thought the actings in the old movies were all funny, but this movie was not. The actors were mostly acting natural, just like the movies these days. To Kill a Mockingbird is probably one of the best old movies that has the feelings of modern movies. I wonder how would the movie look like if they remake this movie again these days.

I think your right about how Scout's costume should have been more like a ham. I also agree that the attacking was placed in the perfect scene. The writers of the movie must have read the book over and over. Many things were the same in the movie as in the book.
