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.
I watched it last night. It is well done.
Pray they release this online or a way for everyone to see it
Or that Aaron will make this for Netflix who I think will make this happen on Aaron’s terms.
Wow, hope to see this!
You should make it into a movie staring Jeff Daniel’s, please! I would love to see it on film!!
I hope I get to see this live. The play might be great, or it might not... I hope to see it to make a decision.
Why didn't they get a kid or a teenager to play Scout
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.
But yea a 41 year old for the part was just ridiculous.
Because kids can't do Sorkin.
Because it's a leading role with an insane amount of complex dialogue in a 3-hour long play that has to be performed eight times a week.
Anyone explain why adults are playing the small children ?

Have not seen Sorkin's adaptation. Will say what I saw on this news segment is that it looks underwhelming.
I saw it in previews and it was amazing and very moving! The performances were really well done! Totally recommend seeing it!
Ah yes, the 30 seconds to hot take review. Very informative.
Am I the only one who thinks the person playing scout looks super creepy
You sound like a Trump voter.

'Reportedly'... So, you have not seen it but still feel qualified to opine upon it. Okay, boomer.
