This is one of the more touching segments of the whole movie, in which you finally meet the elusive Arthur (Boo) Radley. I didn't get to see the whole of the segment since I was absent for the beginning of class, but from what I saw the movie was true to the book in this crucial area.
Boo Radley was just how I imagined that he would look, shy and awkward, tall, pale, maybe a little creepy, but that's just because he's been inside for so many years. His overall personality seemed different than it had been in the book. Boo was a little more timid and childlike than I had originally imagined him to be. Shy, yes, but that was described blatantly.
I loved what Scout said at the end of the movie, narrating about how standing on the Radley porch was enough to understand what it was like to be in Boo's shoes. That was inspiring and well thought through and heartfelt. And I found that that was one of the moments in which Scout grew up a little more.
