To what extent was I pulled into each movie as a participant rather than as an observer? The movies are called “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “In the Heat of the Night”. According to Google, “Scout Finch (Mary Badham), 6,and her older brother, Jem (Phillip Alford), live in sleepy Maycomb, Ala., spending much of their time with their friend Dill (John Megna) and spying on their reclusive and mysterious neighbor, Boo Radley (Robert Duvall). When Atticus (Gregory Peck), their widowed father and a respected lawyer, defends a black man named Tom Robinson (Brock Peters) against fabricated rape charges, the trial and tangent events expose the children to evils of racism and stereotyping.” That is the first movie, but what about the other one? According to Google, “African-American Philadelphia police detective Virgil Tibbs (Sidney Poitier) is arrested on suspicion of murder by Bill Gillespie (Rod Steiger), the racist police chief of tiny Sparta, Mississippi. After Tibbs proves not only his own innocence but that of another man, he joins forces with Gillespie to track down the real killer. Their investigation takes them through every social level of the town, with Tibbs making enemies as well as unlikely friends as he hunts for the truth.”

To what extent was I pulled into each movie as a participant rather than as an observer? I can’t say that I was ever pulled into either of these movies. Meaning, I never felt that I could have been a part of it, or a side character. I always thought that I was an observer. there are movies where I am pulled into them, but these two were neither one. The movies could have been better, but I can’t change it, so I just didn’t really feel into the movies.
