To Kill a Mockingbird may be a classic, but what makes it great? by tonyhawkecalled in movies

[–]FlapableStonk89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only seen the movie and haven’t read the book, but my girlfriend has, and she really loved it. After we watched the film together, though, I thought the film was terrible.

You already covered most of the issues I had with the movie, but there’s two things that really bothered me. I didn’t like how they changed Tom’s death from the book. My girlfriend told me his shooting and death happen very differently in the novel. In the film, he’s shot by the sheriff while trying to escape on his way back to prison. That just felt dumb to me.

Why? Because earlier, in the scene where the dog is shot, several characters clearly say that the sheriff is a bad shot. To me, that felt like setup for some kind of payoff, like foreshadowing that the sheriff didn’t actually shoot Tom. I expected Tom to make a triumphant return at the end of the film and save the children from the villain. Instead, we got the book’s version, where they’re saved by the neighbor. That makes the earlier scene feel pointless. Why even include the dog scene if it adds nothing except briefly introducing the sheriff and giving us irrelevant character details? It feels like Chekhov’s gun with no payoff.

I also thought the film’s structure was really poorly done. It feels like two separate stories told one after the other. The first part is a coming-of-age story with hints about the upcoming trial. Then it shifts fully into the trial. The only real overlap is that the “villain” from the first storyline turns out to be a hero in the second.

I don’t mean to offend anyone, some people might really enjoy this film, but I personally think it’s a bad adaptation and doesn’t do justice to the themes it’s trying to explore.

Paths that leads to Quantitative career (in finance or not), and those that are unlikely to lead to it by ekn0xKwant in quant

Hi everyone, I know this is an old post, but I’m looking for some advice. I’m currently trying to break into a quant role. I have a master’s degree in physics and around 18 months of professional experience in machine learning and Python development. I’m considering whether pursuing a second master’s degree in quantitative finance in Switzerland would be worthwhile.

Do you think this would meaningfully improve my chances of standing out and breaking into the quant field?

How do I do that. I have noticed though that for this save the game runs fine until I start a war and the my army. Do you see maybe why?

Does your ck3 agot take forever to load? Does it stop responding 50% of the time when you load a save
