      Logical Thoughts in Twelve Angry Men

      The ghetto, a unique dagger, reprimands from childhood, witness testimony, and poor English that is difficult to defend, the hard evidence is overwhelming and the truth is about to come out - this boy is the murderer of his father. There was no evidence to excuse him, and even his lawyers believed that the child was guilty. The jury of twelve and eleven made a judgment that conformed to the public's intuition and was guilty. The judge yawned in the courtroom, and a juror said,...

      Voice of the law enforcement

      When I found myself watching a law-related film, I felt a little ashamed of the law course I took in college. Because my following understanding and discussion may seem to professionals in the field of law to be nothing more than the most superficial point of view, but I dare to say it, even if it adds to the laughter.

      Starting from the most basic thinking in jurisprudence, the core starting point for the actor to initiate this debate is:

      Immortal masterpiece!

      This is the second time I've written a movie review. When I watched the movie, the front made me feel a little boring, and it was all lines. But the latter unfolded layer by layer, bit by bit, which caused me to think a lot. I think this is an immortal masterpiece!

      All the others think he's guilty, and if I think he's guilty, this discussion doesn't need to go on, but I don't have a solid understanding of the...

      It's wonderful.

      Today, I seriously brushed an old 1957 movie "Twelve Angry Men, it's so wonderful!"

      I'm curious, does the judiciary in Western countries still use this jury system?

      In our GJ's justice, who is responsible for researching such details? Who will decide the life or death of the suspect?

      How many people are there in our life? When will it be? Where will it be? Because of what? Do you think deeply?

      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...

    Movie plot

    In the court, the sentencing of an 18-year-old boy accused of killing his father is underway, and the final trial also needs to consider the opinions of the twelve jury.
    These twelve people each have their own careers and lives. Among them are clever advertisers, architects who speak up, justice and courageous office workers, new aristocrats who discriminate against common people, watchmakers who pursue the truth, and shrewd and calm...

    The film’s court scenes have a neat rhythm, compact structure, and serious themes. They are not dull at all because of the limitations of the story scene. Many actors have wonderful performances. It makes a strong story about the pros and cons of the jury system. Dramatic and attractive.
    The scenes of the film are strangely monotonous-there is only one scene in the whole film, which can set a Guinness World Record. This is a scene where...

    Movie quotes

    • [last lines]

      Juror #9: Hey!... What's your name?

      Juror #8: Davis.

      Juror #9: [shakes his hand] My name's McCardle.

      [pause]

      Juror #9: Well, so long.

      Juror #8: So long.

    • Juror #8: [after conducting an experiment to see if the old man could have reached his door in 15 seconds] Here's what I think happened: the old man heard the fight between the boy and his father a few hours earlier. Then, when he's lying in his bed, he heard a body hit the floor in the boy's apartment, heard the woman scream from across the street, got to his front door as fast as he could, heard somebody racing down the stairs and *assumed* it was the boy!

      Juror #6: I think that's possible!

      Juror #3: [from the other side of the room] *"Assumed"?*

      [Everyone looks at #3 as he chuckles]

      Juror #3: Brother, I've seen all kinds of dishonesty in my day, but this little display takes the cake. Y'all come in here with your hearts bleedin' all over the floor about slum kids and injustice, you listen to some fairy tales... Suddenly, you start gettin' through to some of these old ladies. Well, you're not getting through to me, I've had enough.

      [starts shouting]

      Juror #3: What's the *matter* with you guys? You all *know* he's guilty! He's *got* to burn! You're letting him slip through our fingers!

      Juror #8: [brow furrowing] "Slip through our fingers"? Are you his executioner?

      Juror #3: I'm one of 'em!

      Juror #8: ...Perhaps you'd like to pull the switch?

      Juror #3: For this kid? You bet I would!

      Juror #8: [baiting him] I feel sorry for you. What it must feel like to want to pull the switch! Ever since you walked into this room, you've been acting like a self-appointed public avenger. You want to see this boy die because you *personally* want it, not because of the facts! You're a sadist!

      [#3 lunges wildly at #8, who holds his ground. Several jurors hold #3 back]

      Juror #3: I'll kill him! I'll - *kill him!*

      Juror #8: [calmly] You don't *really* mean you'll kill me, do you?

    • Juror #8: [taking a cough drop that Juror #2 offered him] There's something else I'd like to talk about for a minute. Thanks. I think we've proved that the old man couldn't have heard the boy say "I'm gonna kill you", but supposing he did...

      Juror #10: [interrupting] You didn't prove it at all. What're you talking about?

      Juror #8: But supposing he really *did* hear it. This phrase, how many times have all of us used it? Probably thousands. "I could kill you for that, darling." "Junior, you do that once more and I'm gonna kill you." "Get in there, Rocky, and kill him!"... See, we say it every day. That doesn't mean we're gonna kill anyone.

      Juror #3: Wait a minute, what are you trying to give us here? The phrase was "I'm gonna kill you"; the kid yelled it at the top of his lungs... Don't tell me he didn't mean it! Anybody says a thing like that the way he said it, they mean it!

      Juror #2: Well, gee now, I don't know.

      [Everyone looks at #2]

      Juror #2: I remember I was arguing with the guy I work next to at the bank a couple of weeks ago. He called me an idiot, so I yelled at him.

      Juror #3: [pointing at #8] Now listen, this guy's tryin' to make you believe things that aren't so! The kid said he was gonna kill him, and he *did* kill him!

      Juror #8: Let me ask you this: do you really think the kid would shout out a thing like that so the whole neighborhood could hear him? I don't think so; he's much to bright for that.

      Juror #10: Bright? He's a common, ignorant slob. He don't even speak good English.

      Juror #11: [looking up] He *doesn't* even speak good English.
