This is so long overdue, I've wanted to post this for awhile now but haven't had the chance. When we watched Atticus Finch giving his moving speech in class all those weeks ago, it reminded me very much of the movie, A Time To Kill. For those who don't know what this movie is it's about a young, white lawyer in the south defending a black man that shot a white man after the white man and his friends raped and beat his 10-year-old daughter.
Both speeches are filled with such passion and emotion that really gets to your heart, just really gets you deep down.
Here's a clip of Matthew McConaughey (Jake, the lawyer) giving his moving speech in A Time to Kill. It still makes me tear up everytime I watch it. It's a little long, a little over 8 minutes, but it's worth it, trust me.
