12 Angry Men, amazing and impressed

There is a sentence on the poster: Life is in their hands, Death is on their minds.
The film does not reveal a certain result, so from the beginning to the end, there are very few court shots.
One afternoon, 12 people were locked in a room with worn-out equipment. Their main prop was the square table. In the end, everyone left, and the whole picture of the table slowly appeared. After a few hours of argument, only a few remained. Pieces of paper and crumbs, the angry screams and calm narrations of people who have been there will no longer be replayed.
Even if all viewers understand the ending of their debates from the beginning, the film will not lose any one second of its charm. With a simple layout, 12 people express their own thoughts and reveal the various aspects of life.
12 Angry Men is actually a calm and peaceful attitude. A small number of people always speak loudly and rudely, while more people will open their sober eyes and calmly express it step by step. Everyone's thoughts are self-contained, even if The friction after they collide is particularly intense, but in the end someone will apologize and some will forgive them.
The opposing concepts of the two groups of people are not extraordinary content. In fact, such disputes can be seen everywhere. The difference is that their disputes must represent justice and give a child an equal destiny.
Minority obedience to the majority is the main thrust of the argument. It is a clear attitude not to speak up if you are justified. People who insist on their own opinions are very valuable but also very stubborn. Persistence is the eternal law of success.
How many people are willing to insist on a person who has never lived before, even if it is related to the life and death of this person, and they are responsible for being accused of sensationalism, advertised alternatives and other notorieties.
How many people will not be fainted by the curse of the majority, and then quickly lower the banner and become an obscure follower.
And how many people are like grass on the wall, seeing that the belief in conquering themselves can be seen by the wind, and they will not hesitate to leave behind the people who have attracted themselves and shouted with the banner of hypocrisy.
Correctness is not the key. The key lies in whether you have done your best to express it. The point I have seen from the film is that 12 people have equal opportunities to express themselves. Only when you insist on expressing your doubts about something from beginning to end is brave. Linguists.
At this moment, language is believed to be something more capable of making people independent than human hands and feet, and the hearty language environment, the film script is an excellent contributor.
In the end, two men who always trust each other shook hands amicably, who were initially despised by others, and learned that if you can hear different voices, please listen patiently and communicate intently. No matter what the thing is, it will be a pleasure. .

12 Angry Men quotes

  • 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.
