Aaron Sorkin’s adaptation of the story follows the familiar original narrative, but utilizes Scout’s youthful inquisitiveness to ask the important questions about the society in which they live. As Sorkin said in an interview in The Atlantic, the characters are “not getting repainted. We’re just taking another look, given the times we’re living in.”
