my attitude

I rarely watch Russian movies, or Eastern European ones don't watch much now. At least as a percentage of the number of movies I've watched, it's very small. Not enough attention, not because there are no good movies, at least this is one.

It took me four days to finish watching this film, and I was always interrupted by a lot of things in the middle. It is undeniable that I may lose my coherent judgment, but my impression of the film has been added to the incomparable depth.

Regarding the plot of the film, many people have commented and introduced it. I can't tell the story well, so I won't retell it. I'm just stating my opinion, it's a good movie.

The film has no ups and downs, and it feels a little boring or dull from the beginning. When you can't stand still, you can't enter the state of enjoying the film. This is the biggest difference between Hollywood blockbusters and other films. The opening title is fascinating and whet your appetite. This film is not. From the beginning to the end, the narrative in the middle is like a small stone thrown into the running water, without changing the direction of the water flow.

The story couldn't be simpler, and I could even guess what the first juror who voted against was going to say. But behind, twelve people, each with a story, like a gradually burning candle, with the sudden burst of sparks in the middle, the candle flame becomes larger and continues to emit light.

I pay close attention to the expressions of the actors, which are too characteristic and too vivid. I can hardly find a movie with so many rich expressions at the same time. It deeply makes people feel that this is how things should be. On the other hand, the faces of those domestic movies...SHIT.

The only turning point, in the story, is at the end, and that's the only one.
The reason the old guy said was a bit miserable and helpless.

Good. Only after seeing and comparing can you know why your choice is like this.
