Many people think it's about justice and the art of war, and I think 12 Angry Men also represent a variety of people. In a secret jury room, someone confirms that it is the truth in order to believe a truth he thinks, because in addition to the guidance of public opinion, it may also lead to believe it because they want to satisfy a certain desire in their heart. It is never easy to justify one's own beliefs, because it comes from the selfishness that everyone...

The truth, or never the truth. But don't give up the truth, or don't give up trying to get close to the truth. At the end of the movie, who is the murderer is not so important...

It's very different to watch this movie after watching silk. The person who feels the decision of the truth has completely changed. Movies are very interesting, like Killing, The Man From Earth is a movie built with dialogue, how to make such a movie not boring? To have something to say. How can a person overturn a stereotype in the minds of others? It is to keep asking questions and giving questions, and others will naturally think. However, I think the jury system is a bit...

Great ensemble and performance, especially close-ups. In fact, I think in the end I have deviated from the original intention of Henry Fonda, but this is also a reproduction of the spirit of American law, which is...

The second brush of the archive is still wonderful. The lines, performances, and scheduling are top-notch; prejudice blinds the truth; the A-level film watched by a man who does not sweat is "Red Circle", and the actor sweats when he is questioned about the name of the B-level film. Henry Fonda wears a white suit, and the stubborn and arrogant No. 3 wears a black suit -> Western movie pros and cons...

Twelve jurors, symbolizing twelve different personalities. This world is by the rules, right and wrong. The first person who believed "innocent" came forward, and more people who believed "innocence" came forward. This was in 1957. Think about how sad it is now that even if the first person stands up, even if they poke into the pain of others, they still choose to remain silent. Alas, these days are...

Dedicated jury members did all the work that was supposed to be done by defense lawyers. In one and a half hours, 12 characters were drawn very vividly from personality to occupation, and they were all white men at the time, which made the screenwriter even better. I like the fluffy commercial guy and the logical bank glasses guy the...

A very powerful, educational film about the spirit of American law and the connotation of democracy. The set is simple and monotonous, not even as good as the stage of a drama. It is purely based on the performance of the actors and the use of the language of the camera. Not only does the character of the 12 people clearly explain, but it is rare that even the defendants, witnesses, and prosecutors who have never shown up have changed. Gotta be alive. After watching this movie, you can...

Twelve sad stories of twelve different men, but the standard of this world is always unique, and the fate of boys will not be better because of this. When the state of mind is higher than the law, we still cannot be...

Juror #10: [the vote has become 9-3, enraging Juror #10] I don't understand you people! I mean all these picky little points you keep bringing up. They don't mean nothing! You saw this kid just like I did. You're not gonna tell me you believe that phony story about losing the knife, and that business about being at the movies. Look, you know how these people *lie!* It's *born* in them! I mean, what the heck? I don't have to tell you! They don't know what the truth *is!* And lemme tell ya: they don't need any real big reason to kill someone, either! No *sir!*
[#5 slams the paper down, gets up from his seat]
Juror #10: They get drunk! Oh, they're real big drinkers, all of 'em - you know that - and bang: someone's lyin' in the gutter! Oh, nobody's blaming them for it. That's the way they are, by nature! You know what I mean? *Violent!*
Juror #10: [#9 rises and crosses to the window] Where're you going? Human life don't mean as much to them as it does to us!
[#11 gets up and walks to the other window]
Juror #10: Look, they're lushing it up and fighting all the time and if somebody gets killed, so somebody gets killed! They don't care! Oh, sure, there are some good things about 'em, too! Look, I'm the first one to say that!
Juror #10: [#8 gets up and walks to the nearest wall] I've known a couple who were OK, but that's the exception, y'know what I mean? Most of 'em, it's like they have no feelings! They can do anything!
[#2 and #6 get up from the table. Everyone's back is to #10]
Juror #10: [looking around, starting to decline in volume] What's goin' on here? I'm trying to tell ya... You're makin' a big mistake, you people! This kid is a liar! I know it, I know all about them! Listen to me... They're no good! There's not a one of 'em who is any good! I mean, what's happening in here? I'm speaking my piece, and you...
[the Foreman gets up and walks away. So does #12]
Juror #10: Listen to me. We're... This kid on trial here... his type, well, don't you know about them? There's a, there's a danger here. These people are dangerous. They're wild. Listen to me. Listen.
Juror #4: [quietly and firmly] I have. Now sit down and don't open your mouth again.
[beat]
Juror #10: [the shock of being ignored and silenced sinking in] I'm jus' tryin'-a... tell ya...

Juror #8: It's always difficult to keep personal prejudice out of a thing like this. And wherever you run into it, prejudice always obscures the truth. I don't really know what the truth is. I don't suppose anybody will ever really know. Nine of us now seem to feel that the defendant is innocent, but we're just gambling on probabilities - we may be wrong. We may be trying to let a guilty man go free, I don't know. Nobody really can. But we have a reasonable doubt, and that's something that's very valuable in our system. No jury can declare a man guilty unless it's sure.
