Boo Radley

There are loads of movies i've seen and really enjoyed, and more then one that are my favourite. But i think my favourite character from a movie (and a book too-but i liked him even more after the movie) was Boo Radley, from the black and white movie To Kill a MOcking Bird.

IN it, he saves main character-13 year old Jim and hides in their house while Jim's father Atticus and sister Scout fuss over him. Then Atticus asks Scout "Who brought you back? Who saved you?" And she was like, " Why a man just came out of nowhere fought the bad guy off and carried us home, why he's right behind the door infact."

And then the door shuts and Boo Radley is standing in the dark shadow, he moves to the corner where he can be as part of the wall as possible and not be acknowledged as a live person in the room. "Who're you?" Atticus asks. Camera zooms on Scout's face and she smiles "Hey, Boo."

Ahhhh, it was Boo Radley, THE actual Boo Radley finally appearing, so he WAS real, and the stories of him WERE true. The camera zooms to his face. He is blonde with this messy greasy hair,young, thin, a pointy nose, nice face shape-pointy chin and the kindest eyes. And he smiles at little Scout. As if the sight of her was the most satisfaction he'd ever had, as if he'd never seen another human quiet like a small child.

That scene made me melt, Boo and his gentle kindness. Ahh, he's cute too. I've got a crush on a fictional character, and that's Boo. Scout ends up escorting him home. What a buzz that would be! If you had never exited your home, never played with another child, and now that you're a grown man, a little child-a girl holds your hand and takes you home. It would be the best and most memorable walk you'd have ever taken in your entire life. Poor Boo, but i suppose his part in the book was only to prove a point. Somehow though, i felt for him more then anyone else.

That was a cool movie To Kill a Mocking Bird.
