The classic film history "Twelve Angry Men" still makes people love it.
Plot summary: Twelve ordinary people, for a murder case, formed a temporary "jury" to sit together to discuss the case and decide the fate of a murder suspect. They have different life backgrounds, engage in different professions, and have their own personalities and hobbies. Eleven jurors had already found the suspect guilty, and only one (No. 8) felt that the situation was suspicious, insisted that he raised objections, and persuaded the other jurors to overturn the original intention with patience and perseverance. The whole process was ups and downs. After seven votes, fewer and fewer people agreed to be guilty, and the defendant was finally acquitted.
There are twelve jurors with different personalities in this film, which reminds me of the twelve constellations, so I substituted the almighty constellation into the character and the plot details, unexpectedly found that the two have many similarities, so I was very interested Post completed this in-depth interpretation.
Fans may wish to refer to this article when reviewing this movie, there may be unexpected fun and surprises.

————
No. 4: Capricorn (earth) (10th change)
Character: rational, calm, objective, serious, rigorous, conservative, meticulous, dull
Evaluation: Although he is the biggest opponent of Aquarius No. 8, he does not give people an unpleasant feeling. On the contrary, he makes people respectful. His judgment on the suspect comes from rational analysis without prejudice. He is a trustworthy man. . But he was too sensible, and he felt that he was playing an intelligence test and lacked sympathy for a criminal who might be sentenced to death.

Number 8: Aquarius (Wind) (No. 1 change)
Personality: rational, calm, unique, profound, unreasonable, adhere to ideals, humanitarian
Evaluation: When discussing the passing time of the tram, he specifically asked for the opinions of the introverted Pisces and Cancer; when discussing the location of the knife piercing, he asked the extroverted Sagittarius and Gemini. It can be seen that he has already touched it in a short time. Knowing the personalities of other jurors and being able to prescribe the right medicine is the manifestation of the wisdom of Aquarius.
Both Aquarius and Capricorn are more sensible, but Aquarius is more of a reverse thinking, which can break the stereotype to look at the case and find doubts. Capricorn clings to the surface of the case, unable to see the essence. The controversy between Aquarius and Capricorn, known as the "strongest constellations," has also become the biggest attraction of the film.
————
No. 9: Libra (Wind) (2nd position shift)
Character: fair, gentleman, docile, harmonious, good-tempered, careful, attention to appearance

Personality: low-key, deep, independent, delicate, dedicated, profound, thinking-oriented, insisting on faith
Evaluation: On the 11th, Scorpio has always kept a low profile and has not seen many appearances, but its independent thinking attitude and the spirit of persevering in beliefs are chasing Aquarius, becoming the best one in water properties.
————
No. 12: Gemini (Wind) (No. 8 Transition)
Personality: talkative, funny, playful, creative, casual, superficial, fickle, irresponsible
Comment: In the whole meeting, he likes to do things that have nothing to do with the case. Both Sagittarius and Gemini are arranged as casual, frivolous and irresponsible people in this film. It can be seen that these two constellations that admire self and freedom are indeed not suitable for judicial and administrative work. Among them, Sagittarius is more lazy and irritable, while Gemini is playful and fickle.
————
The relationship between plot details and constellations:
1 The archer turns on the electric fan impatiently, showing an impatient personality. But when the electric fan cannot be turned on, I give up without repeated attempts, which shows that I am casual and not focused.

Summarize:
According to the sequence of changing attitudes, they are as follows:
Water bottle→Libra→Cancer (wind, water)
→Scorpio→Pisces→Taurus (water, soil)
→Sagittarius→Gemini→Aries (Fire, Wind)
→ Virgin → Capricorn → Lion (earth, fire)
The wind is sensible and flexible, and has strong independent thinking ability; the water is sensitive and gentle, and is easily influenced by others; so it changes quickly. (Representative of wind: No. 8 water bottle; representative of water: No. 11 Scorpio)
The soil is rational and stubborn, and does not like to change easily; the fire is sensitive and tough, with serious self-consciousness; therefore, the change is slow. (Representative of soil: Capricorn No. 4; representative of Fire: Lion No. 3)
In this film, the four constellation representatives (Aquarius, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Leo) have the most roles in their respective attributes (Among them, Aquarius rethinks, Scorpio rethinks intuition, Capricorn re-analysis, and Leo re-perception ), and they are also the comprehensive abilities of the twelve constellations. The four strongest constellations, the conflict in this drama should be unfolded between them.
The Aquarius character represented by the number eight represents a forward-looking, original and rational way of thinking, with a spirit of change, respect for personal freedom, strong reasoning and creativity, objective and calm, good at thinking, and persistence in beliefs. Is a typical idealist and humanitarian.
Most of the twelve constellations have both advantages and disadvantages. Aquarius alone has fewer shortcomings and is almost perfect. In my opinion, it is the best one among the constellations.
When the screenwriter and director conceived this movie, they did not correspond to one of the twelve constellations. However , the "character determinism" of the constellations does exist in the universe. No matter how complex the characters change, they cannot do without these twelve constellations. A basic personality model.
