It's very exciting. I don't want to say anything else. I just want to talk about why the last angry guy changed his mind in the second and a half when he saw the photo at 1:31:54.
The movie opened in a sultry atmosphere and ended amidst the sound of heavy rain. 12 Among the angry guys, he has the hottest temper. Coupled with the weather, he speaks loudly, interrupts others, and does not listen to others' explanations. What is the reason?
The first angry guy scolded him at 58 minutes for the subtext that he just wanted to kill the kid. This is why?
At the end of the movie, after exposing the suspect’s guilt for the last time, he suddenly took out his wallet and threw it on the table. There was a picture of him and his son (I thought it was a photograph of the criminal’s father and son). He said, "Damn boy, you ruined your life." What does this sentence mean?
Solving these three problems, his final transformation can be understood.
Of course, like this movie, I can only assume some circumstances. I am not a screenwriter, and I don’t know what happened in his heart, just like they are not criminals, and I don’t know what happened that night.
The first question is easy to answer, even if it is not so sultry that day, he has the same attitude, because his character is a grumpy person.
He has difficulty communicating with others. I guess he has a bad relationship with his family (not to mention the divorce rate in the United States. Can such a temper be better in the United States where men and women are truly equal, father and son are equal?) I guess he and his son have There have been cracks.
I also guessed that his son went astray (may be misjudged) and went to jail (or death sentence) because of a bad relationship with him. He hopes to kill other children (subconsciously) by being a juror. So the second problem is also solved. Also, at the beginning of the film, he introduced himself as a juror many times, and said that it was too obvious who the murderer was (because he subconsciously hoped that the suspect was the criminal), these two items may be my backup.
His child may also be innocent (he didn't necessarily believe his child at the time), he met a group of very disabled jurors and was convicted, so he said: damn child, you ruined your life. In fact, he is not saying that his children deserve to die, he is complaining about fate, why can't his children meet such a group of people.
At the beginning of the film, he introduced himself as a juror many times, and his attitude showed that he was accustomed and taken for granted. He didn't seem to take the sacred role of juror seriously.
Finally, he shed tears when he said "not guilty" with difficulty. Was he confessing his previous actions when he convicted the suspects?
