Because kids can only work afew hours a week (I can't remember the exact number) and with practice, prep and the actual play it's considered child labor.
OKAY HERE IS THE REAL TEA. Aaron Sorkin has completely changed the originally meaning of Lee’s original concept. No longer is TKAM a story about the perspective of a child coming of age in a turmultous time period, but a reportedly underwhelming look at a drab lawyer whose perspective reigns over all of the media from that time period. Adaptations are hard and Sorkin missed the mark on this one. Shifting the narrative perspective from Scout to Atticus is the literal worst thing that he did with the script.
Have you seen it? I have...and you're wrong on every point here. It was amazingly moving. It's the same story...just from a different point of view. If he didn't change it at all...why bother doing it? Everyone already has seen the movie.
Mediaright But he did change it from the first production of the play, and from the book. Are you dreaming or something? It’s an adaptation made only after Harper Lee passed away.
@@jaznappier7992 Read the comment again, the fella said IF he didn't change it... i.e. accepting he did change it, but also that this is the POINT of relooking at a work in a new age, just like we do when we revisit everything from the Greek plays to Shakespeare. Adapting t with a new eye, voice and POV is the whole point of adapting it again. This was not a revival, it was a relook.
BTW: 'The real tea' when you have not seen it. That's rich tea. And, for the record, he did not shift the POV at all. He shifted what that POV saw to embrace a more nuanced view of the father. But then, had you seen it you might know that, since you have not, you know pretty much nothing of any real value to this discussion. Oh look, there it is, that's the real tea.
