When the sound film appeared, most silent film workers showed resistance to the silent film because they believed that the voice film only relied on the dialogue of the characters to greatly reduce the performance skills of the actors. When colored films appeared, there were also many filmmakers who resisted, because they believed that the overly gorgeous scenery and dazzling scenes would make the audience divert the audience's attention from the storyline. "Twelve Angry Men", as a work in an era of excessive black-and-white film and color movies in the mid to late 20th century, has already adhered to the purpose of old filmmakers-telling stories well. And the most worthy of learning from other film creators in this movie is the director's description of the actors' personality. The best way to express the character is the conflict between the character's behavioral choices and events. It is not a simple matter to accurately describe a character's personality in a movie that only lasts about an hour and a half. Excellent literary creation always upholds the law of "character determines everything" to determine the development of the story. So the position of the protagonist with a bright personality in a movie is very important. I have to say here that the long shot of 6 minutes and 42 seconds at the beginning of the film, from an empty house to the protagonists one by one. How to arrange the positions, behaviors, lines, order of lines and so on of the twelve actors in these six minutes? It is necessary to create a seemingly chaotic but in fact orderly scene, and on the other hand, it is necessary to allow the audience to focus on what the director wants to express. At this point, the arrangement for the screenwriter and director is really five-pointed. What's more, this is a person with not only one or two protagonists, but a person with twelve protagonists, each of which is an individual with different personalities, how to be represented in a 1.5-hour movie It is even more difficult to find out the characteristics of these twelve people and how this characteristic promotes the development of the plot of the movie. The first to attract the attention of the audience must be the first No. 8 to vote against. From the moment he entered the room, he has been standing silent by the bed. And the reason for voting for the first time was that when most people voted for it, it was difficult to let yourself be the last one to decide without a trace of discussion. From the beginning, he emphasized that the reason for his opposition was not because he did not believe that the defendant did not kill, but because he felt that the case was suspicious. As one of the twelve angry men, he was the gentlest one. He has always insisted on his position from the beginning, constantly raising new questions, and finally slowly convinced everyone. And all this is not from a position that wants to persuade everyone, but a position that feels suspicious and needs to be discussed. 8 is a number that represents balance and neutrality in Western society, and the number 8 also shows his rationality from beginning to end. Peaceful attitude. The second one to change its position is No. 9. The reason for the change was that he admired the courage of No. 8 as an enemy. And it was his sharp insight and analytical ability that twice used rigorous analysis to prove the reason why two witnesses might lie and overturned the confessions of the two witnesses. Let the chaotic discussion slowly begin to clear. When he finally left the courthouse, he asked 8 good names. In Western society, when people find a partner with the same point of view in the process of discussion, they usually ask the other person's name. His encounter with No. 8 is like a situation where heroes know heroes. The third person to change his position is No. 5. In the first round of voting, he abstained. It seems that when others have not finished expressing their opinions, they don't want to express their opinions. In the later argument, it was learned that he was also a child who grew up in a slum, and he was deeply opposed to the so-called "slum children are destined to be bad people" conclusions on the 3rd and 10th. Despite his unbearable childhood background, he still tried his best to show a friendly and educated attitude. Finally, it was also because his experience in the slum overturned the use of the weapon. The fourth person to change his position is No. 2. At the very beginning he showed a dull and adorable air. In the first round of speaking, he stated that he was guilty of stealing because he felt that the defendant was guilty. The first anger was on the 7th's casual attitude towards this jury discussion. During the discussion, he took the initiative to share lozenges with everyone. The fifth change of position is No. 11. From his pronunciation and appearance when he started speaking, it can be found that he is an immigrant and is working hard to integrate into the American culture and judicial system. Take notes and speak carefully from the beginning. The pronunciation problem of the defendant was also corrected. He is also the first person to present the merits of American democracy. When No. 7 changed his position at will, he criticized his attitude angrily. The sixth to change position is No. 6. In the first round of speaking, he called to emphasize that he was preconceived that the defendant was guilty and was always looking for the defendant’s criminal motives. The first anger was when No. 3 did not respect the elder (No. 9). After everyone turned over and argued, he proposed a third ballot and reduced the number of votes to six to six. The seventh to change position is No. 7. This is also one of the protagonists with a character and distinctiveness. From the beginning of watching the watch at the end of the trial in the courtroom, after entering the room, I kept emphasizing that I still have a game to watch, hoping to settle the case soon and leave. From the first time he entered the room, he only paid attention to the problem of the fan, to the rain and the rotation of the fan later, it can be seen that he is a person who is easily affected by the objective environment. It can also be seen from his words that he is just an ordinary salaried worker and he is also a jury because he has money in return. The so-called reasons for changing the position are also ridiculous, and they do not respect the judicial system and The right you have been given. The eighth to change position is No. 12. The similarity to No. 7 is that he doesn't care much about the trial of this case. As soon as I entered, I started to talk about my work with the people around me, and there was still a sense of humor in the words. The point is that he is also the only person among the twelve who has changed his position twice. The ninth one to change position is No. 1. Like No. 7, he changed his position in the fourth round of voting. From the moment he entered the room, he took the initiative to assume the role of temporarily arranging order and reconciliation, and explained that his identity was only to facilitate the orderly discussion and arrange the order of everyone's speech. He put himself in a mediating role from start to finish, and rarely participated in everyone's arguments. In the end, when everyone had their own ideas in the debate, they changed their positions. The tenth one to change position is No. 10. From beginning to end, he and No. 3 "take on" the task of losing their temper and pushing the argument to a high point. From the very beginning, he made the statement that "the poor are born evil". And he was also the first to break the order of taking turns. When the second opponent appeared, he began to furious. And when there was a deficit in the final votes, he began to explode incoherently. Then everyone left the table one by one and turned their backs to him. This point also fully reflects the point of freedom of speech in the United States-I do not agree with every word you say, but I swear to defend your right to speak. In the end, he slowly changed his position in silence and regret. The second to last to change position is No. 4. It can be found that from beginning to end, when everyone took off their coats because of the hot weather, he was the only one who was still sitting in the seat with a decent dress, and he was the only one who never left his seat during the discussion. people. Although in the small talk with No. 5, he said that he is a person who can't sweat, but when No. 8 questioned the doubts about the movie theater, he wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. Generally speaking, he is a cautious, logically clear person who is not easy to change his position. At the beginning of the refutation of No. 8, five reasons were clearly put forward. When the number of votes was finally reversed, two suspicious points could be clearly stated. And when these suspicious places were persuaded, he also changed his position sensibly. The one that changed the position most was No. 3. From the moment he entered the room, he sat in the corner and chatted with No. 2 that it was obvious that the defendant was guilty. And he was also the first person to speak against argument No. 8. Before publishing, he also emphasized that he was only discussing facts and had no personal thoughts. In the course of the discussion, it was also learned that he himself had a young son, and that his son ran away from home in a conflict a few years ago. also It is this personal reason that he has always believed that the defendant is guilty, but in fact he just did not dare to face the fact that his son had left. In the course of the argument, he also exploded twice and said "How can he be sure that he is right!" and "I'm going to kill you!", and it is precisely these two points that have become a weapon for self-sufficiency. When he was the only one left to feel guilty, he began to be furious and incoherent, tore up the photo with his son, and when trying to persuade others, he finally collapsed his tear ducts and came to a conclusion of innocence. A movie creator's success in character shaping largely depends on whether the character resonates or thinks. The twelve jurors in the movie seem to be people with different personalities, but they reflect most of the ordinary people living in society. Number 8 represents some people in real life who have their own ideas and opinions and often oppose the public. They dare to adjust their authority, oppose the majority, and insist on the truth without being moved. However, the later 9, 5, 2, 11, 6, and 4 all slowly changed their positions through their own analysis in the first half of the discussion. They represent the majority of people in society who have preconceived ideas, but will gradually change their opinions in public opinion and their own analysis. They may have no independent opinions at the beginning, and some who dare not express themselves at the beginning. Thoughts, some have been hiding the thoughts in their hearts, but in the end they all chose to stand by the side of the truth. On the other hand, No. 7 and No. 12 represent some people in society who only care about their own affairs and do not care about the situation of others or the general public. On the other hand, No. 10 and No. 3 represent certain stubborn impulsive elements in society, who often refer to them for their own ideas. The twelve angry men, twelve postures, reflect the various life states in society. In the face of disputes and conflicts, everyone's current choices and performances are fully demonstrated in the short one and a half hour movie. Ordinary people.
