The film "Inherit The Wind," like all movies, presents its audiences with a slanted and biased view of the events that it depicts. The movie was biased in many aspects, and almost in its entirety in opposition of the Trial’s prosecution, giving the defense a more rational and sane appearance. The author of the original play as well as the movie director created a particular image of the event not simply to praise Darrow and Scopes, but, also, to address an issue that was, during the period in which the movie was being made, prevalent and, in a figurative sense, related; and they achieved their goal of radicalizing the movie’s main antagonists, namely, the case’s prosecution and their supporters, by making use of certain techniques not at all unrelated to the techniques used by the defense itself in the actual Scopes Trial. I believe that the movie is biased and that the documentary evidence presented in class and in the book “The Scopes Trial A Brief History with Documents” serve to support my conclusion. The movie Inherit the Wind is an adaptation with characters that, in appearance and in personal titles, are identical to the ones whom they are created to represent; namely: the actual people around whom the famous Scopes Trial revolved. This reality serves to engender an understanding as to how the movie presented its biases, and for what reasons. The film, therefore, comments upon the verdict of the actual case that it attempts to recreate whenever it presents a very open and obvious bias against one of the two sides involved in the aforementioned trial. This bias serves to, almost entirely, discredit the prosecution of the Scopes Trial, and praise the trials defense. The character representing William J. Bryan in the movie, Matthew H. Brady, portrays Bryan as a nervous, attention seeking, vociferous, overly confident and parochial in his conservatism, zealous Christian that does not want to allow the case’s defense to win because of his own pride and because of his own refusal to accept another’s point of view. In contrast, the character representing Clarence Darrow, Henry Drummond, is portrayed as an honest man, tired of being pushed to the ground by religion, seeking to win the case for the defense only through rational and non-ostentatious means. The movie also portrays the people of Dayton as being militantly against the visitors coming in from the north, and even portrays them as cult member like in the movies scene of the sermon in the woods. The movie also adds characters that did not exist in the actual trial, in its plot. The preacher and his daughter did not represent real people and, considering the depiction of the sermon in the woods, whose oration is provided by the fictional preacher, and the calling to the witness stand of the preacher’s daughter, an important witness because she was Bertram Cates’ fiancé, Cates being the movie’s version of Scopes, and the vehement interrogation of the girl provided by a seemingly heartless Matthew Brady, or William J. Bryan, the movie completely slants the story and plot against Bryan and the prosecution. The defense, namely Henry Drummond and Bertram Cates, are portrayed as very innocent and honest people. Bertram Cates is arrested because of his earnest belief that the theory of Evolution should be thought in school, attempting to show Scopes as a scientific idealist, when, in truth, Scopes was not arrested as a martyr for science as much as a member of a plot.1 He did not, in reality, stand up and teach evolution inside the classroom because he believed in the theory; he merely responded to an add made by the ACLU, whose aim was to spark a debate hoping that it could lead to the striking down of the Butler Law; the Tennessee law prohibiting the teaching of Evolution, or any other theory of creation contradicting the Biblical account, inside the classroom.2 The movie not only states in its introduction that it does not attem
