I chose the movie A time to Kill because I think it's a movie that really makes you think. Just one of those films that obligates you to have to make a choice to decide what side your on. It brings out the question of: What would you do?
A Time to Kill is a film about a lawyer who to defend a black man accused of murdering two young white men who have brutely raped and beaten his 10 year old daughter, in Mississippi 1960's.
A discution of a similar case build up in which 4 white men were accused of raping a little black girl and set free, and the father, after knowing of the posibility that the the two boys who raped his little girl might also be let loose he decides to kill them in the court house before the trail.
Then the layer is also being harassed by the KKK and many descitions must be made for the sake of his life as well.
I saw this movie a while back with my dad and it's a real thinker movie for me. I remember my father telling me that he would go crazy if that happened to me and that he might probably kill the men as well.
Many questions went through my head while watching this film like:
Was it right for the father to take action by his own hands?
First,you have the point of view of the Father who wanted protect his daughter and get them back. Then theres the issue of the setting in which the story is based. I have to think and take in consideration the date and place in which they where in as well to be able to make a fair judge of the matter.
Then you have point of view of the mother of the boys that where murdered befor they even had a trail and the point of view of the Lawyer who must decide whether or not to defend this man and knowing that it isn't safe for him, his family or friends and what damages might be done.
This is a great movie to watch. This is a movie brings out the topics of race, history, about making a descision, and dealing with conflict or consequences.
What is actually right or wrong in a situation like this? You decide!

Is there ever a Time to Kill? You'd probably say one of the following:
1. No, Killing is a Sin. No one has the right to take a life except God.
3. Yes, Only in self defence.
4. Yes, if you believe in the death penalty.
5. Yes, of course if you happen to be a murderer, creep / psycho killer.
But what if that wasn't the case?
