      reflection and reality

      The focus of this film is not on the guilt of the Chechen boy, nor on the case analysis process, but on the whole process of thinking and changing and the psychological state of such a group of social roles with different backgrounds, which represent exactly everyone in this society, Habitual insensitivity, indifference to others, hostile prejudice, change starts from a person's understanding of tolerance, tolerance does not represent justice, but everyone has to sit down and rethink....

      He's not crazy, he's just sad.

      Twelve men of different backgrounds, races, and occupations are locked up in a school's spacious gymnasium in accordance with the procedures prescribed by law to decide the life and death of a "Chechen" boy. The case could not have been more clear-cut. A "ignorant and uncivilized" child killed his adoptive father, a Russian military officer who was benevolent to him. The old man downstairs heard him shouting "I'm going to kill you" to his adoptive father, and the female neighbor opposite...

      Can we always stretch the word of humanity?

      Can we consistently implement the word humanity and kindness?
      No matter how much emphasis is placed on the awakening of the human nature of the Twelve Angry Men in the first part of the film, it is no match for the reason for objecting to innocence in the final trial. When the child comes out of the cage and becomes a free man, who can guarantee his safety at that time? At this time, all the previous stories and evidence, even the boy's innocence, seems very pale. I'm not denying them the...

      There's always a truth beneath the surface

      I watched it for a while at breakfast, and I came back in the evening to continue watching it. It was a miracle that I didn’t play with my phone during the period. All I can say is that the Chechen youth was unfortunate, but lucky, whether it was because of the demolition that caused his adoptive father to be killed, he was accused of murdering his adoptive father. The 11 jurors always believed that he was guilty and should be sentenced to imprisonment in the first round of voting. Only the...

    Movie plot

    In a bizarre murder case in Russia, a teenager from Chechnya is about to be convicted of "first-degree murder" for allegedly killing his adoptive father, and the victim is a Russian military officer who participated in the crackdown in Chechnya in the past. On the night of the crime, no one witnessed the murder with their own eyes, but on the surface, the testimony and physical evidence were very unfavorable to the juvenile.
    After...

    Background creation

    The director Mikhalkov felt the various social problems brought to Russia by the disintegration of the Soviet Union, especially the pain of ethnic conflicts caused by the blind ignorance of the Chechen war commanders about the Chechen issues, and put the source of the conflict in the film on the "Chechen issue". In a larger social and historical context, I hope that the film will reveal the true conscience and sympathy of the Russians,...

    A major innovation of the film is that it does not copy the ending of the original American version. Juror No. 2, played by the director himself, asked the jurors present to find out the real murderer who killed the boy's adoptive father and bear the burden of the boy's future life. And jurors who had been clamoring for justice began to shirk. People have discovered the truth, but are unable to face the truth; people have presided over...
