stop for a minute to think

The film talks about the jury system, about reasonable questioning, about legal norms and justice, about human nature, and about life in Russia. The second time I watched this movie, it's been a long time, and I just remember that there are a lot of things that moved me when I watched it this time.
A group of jurors who are busy with their lives, busy with themselves, want to make an early judgment, have a casual attitude, are in the gym, look around, rummage, some people say let’s start, but there are always people busy with other things, many times After urging, I finally sat down and started to discuss the case. I just wanted to vote directly. There was no case to discuss, no opinion to express. If everyone voted guilty, then they would go back to their own lives with peace of mind. At this point, most of the people have become very casual, taking this case lightly, as if it is just a vote, hey, the willow tree may be replaced by a pine tree in the community, do you agree? Just like us who are numb in life, there are robberies, frauds, earthquakes, unspoken rules, and power, hey, what does that have to do with me, I don't want to think, I don't want to help, simple and rude, solved this Sweep it out of my eyes, everyone does it, I do it too, it doesn't matter, no responsibility, no guilt, after all, what does this have to do with my life?
Like many jury discussions, this time the case almost ended early (the judicial officer who brought them here said that the jury does not stay so late, usually early), but one person was moved Now, he thinks that everyone should be a little responsible to discuss, to get closer to the truth, to fulfill their responsibilities, and to be responsible for the case. His sense of responsibility aroused people's thinking about justice and law, and then there were reasonable questions one by one, and a little bit of innocence reasoning. The movie awakens the numbness in people's hearts. Sometimes we don't rush to go to a seemingly important appointment, stop and do the things at hand, stop and think about the things you need to be responsible for, the ending will be Different.
Secondly, what is touching is that every jury member in the movie tells the true stories when they reason and convince everyone, and the life experience of each of you is reflected in it, the cruelty of life, the dark side of human nature, And the truth of human nature is well demonstrated, there are many issues to reflect on, ethnic issues, family issues, jealousy, unscrupulous means of making money, drug issues, problems left over from war, and the gray area of ​​social management, as the trial organization said A lot of things didn't change in the end. Everything has to be displayed naturally and reasonably.
In the end, it was the jury organizers who said whether they were convicted for saving the little boy. I once hoped that the ending would be a Dzogchen style. They felt that mercy was more important and declared the little boy guilty, and then everyone united to save the little boy. But the movie gave a more realistic and rational ending. Everyone felt that the little boy was innocent. As the person who came back to get the photo said, the little boy should be given the right to choose, and his life should be decided by him, not the so-called "kindness" The ground decides the future for him, just like the bird may not want to escape from the cage, but you can give it the freedom to choose where to stay. The twelve didn't come together to save the little boy and catch the real criminal either, they went back to their lives after they had done their righteous duty, it was just a few hours of their insignificance, they paid their rationality, but should not be the whole of life. There are always many gray areas in this society. Laws and institutions are very slow to touch, and it is difficult for ordinary people to pay for it all the time. This is the reality of life, and what the law can do is to try its best to ensure that everyone is procedurally and substantively rights and freedoms.
In addition, I saw in a film review that people's respect for the law and the system, and people's respect for reason, are also very emotional. Twelve people are discussing and expressing their opinions in accordance with the procedures and systems. Their disputes and contradictions , are all reasoned and persuasive reasoning and persuasion, and only a few mindless abuse and ridicule. This is probably the scene emphasized by the so-called rule of law society. I hope this day will come sooner. I hope that on the Internet, people's rational thinking will appear instead of mindless abuse and insults.

    It seems to be very casual, but it has hidden murderous intentions.

    One person told a story, and more than two hours passed.
