The 14th #法罗岛电影节# will bring you "Twelve Angry Men" on the 9th screening day of the main competition unit. Here are the comments from the front-line jurors secretly and vigorously!

Prometheus:

It's too tension.

Festival Nanshan:

Democracy and the legal system are shocking enough without giving the truth.

We Min Hee:

When I saw the characters in the middle section exaggerating how good the American judicial system is, I kind of wanted to laugh. It turns out that this is the real purpose of the film (fog).

Full of Zhao+:

I've seen many versions of Twelve. As long as the actors don’t stretch the script, it’s impossible to be ugly. It just so happens that the older actors are equally good.

Poem to Adelin:

If the suspicion of guilt is one of the greatest thought crowns in the history of the legal system, the twelve angry men are undoubtedly the most brilliant jewel on this crown!

Her Majesty:

Stage play movies: The characters must be bright and full, and everyone must be assigned to a large section, and it must be ensured that each unit has a climax and usher in the final climax. In addition to satisfying all the above elements, this movie is also very exciting for indoor scheduling.

O. Yin:

One of the magical works in the early days of the movie, the logical analysis, judicial perspective, and indoor scheduling are certainly awesome. The different character image of each juror is the biggest highlight. It can be said to deduce a picture of the Americans in the last century. The aspects of beings, or the aspects of beings of human beings.

Zhao Xiaoqi:

The script is in-depth and detailed. Each character’s emotional changes have a strong sense of hierarchy, one eloquent and eleven, but the proposition of such a complex difficulty is written extremely logically. What's more available is that the whole movie is messy and not messy. The director's scheduling and rhythm control are even more skillful.

coco:

A classic work, the dialogue scene in a confined space, the performance of character personality, scene scheduling, and logical judgment is remarkable. The reasoning and judgment of the twelve civilians is no less than that of a judicial court. The process is like a fierce game, and finally surrender to the facts rather than arbitrarily shows the glory of democracy and rationality.

Sugar-free Tucao:

This film is probably also a part of the propaganda machine of a democratic society. It is a very institutionally proud film (and it is not limited to values), but the material 60 years ago is not new to the present. When I think of the adaptation of "Twelve Citizens", it is not worth it, and I can probably understand the relative beauty and absolute weakness of the original film.

No one at midnight:

After seeing so many remakes and derivative works in different countries and regions in later generations, and then looking back at the original version, I can still feel the solidity and fineness. In the enclosed space, the scheduling of the indoor theater can be maximized. Every decisive opening and closing of that window, the linkage between the hot and humid weather and the emotional emotions inside and outside the screen, the small actions of different characters and the labeling details, it is not a fan. The accent of the group play level, all this prevents it from becoming a low-quality drama film. The only thing that truly reflects the limitations of the times is that this dazzling all-white male lineup, placed in today's Hollywood, is also waiting to be pawned by the "four olds".

Mimi:

I have forgotten which year I watched it. At that time, I felt that the rhythm, logical thinking, the role of actors, the script, and the director were all great. The "jury", "m. z", "sense of responsibility", and "reasonableness" conveyed by the film Questions such as "suspicion and prejudice" and "judicial" are worth learning and thinking. This time I saw something different, so I recorded it. ----------------------------------- 12 "Individual" --- "Collective" From the beginning " 1:11", "2:10", "3:9". . . Until the end, I have been talking about the role of being an "individual". As an architect, No. 8 knows what it does as a "screw of the motherland", So. . . . . Without many water droplets, where does the ocean come from. . . . . .

SONGMJ23:

Lu Meite's feature-length debut. The closed space scheduling is perfect, wide-angle and telephoto can be switched freely, while grasping the overall space, the twelve faces with different looks are portrayed vividly, and the conflicts and depressive feelings accumulated in the debate but cannot be resolved outside the space Come here as an invisible force to hold everyone together: every time between quarrels, the anger in the scene dissipates, and people seem to return to the usual casualties in daily life, but in reality they are constantly being tortured under the pressure of this force, and then Subtle influence on the development direction of things, the best portrayal is the "hearing thunder in a silent place" in the middle and late stages of the film. Just as No. 8 has always argued that it is a spirit of skepticism rather than deliberately persuading others or tampering with evidence, Lumet also conceals all dramatic things from reality to witness the spontaneous birth of judicial justice under the influence of ordinary citizens. Sex and inevitability.

#FIFF14#DAY9's main competition score will be released for everyone later, please wait and see.

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.
