It was Twelve Angry Men who thought of Socrates and the tyranny of the majority. Russians generally hate Chechnya, so they don't like that Chechen kid. What does it feel like, like many Chinese people hate Japanese people, they are preconceived. Athens believed in gods at that time, so she didn't like what Socrates said. What are the advantages of the majority? That is, you can force the minority to obey the majority when voting. People talk less, when you are the only one who thinks this way but others oppose it, will you still insist? Do you also make choices with the flow? After all, staying in a large group will make you feel more secure, not everyone has the courage to fight against the whole world, and not everyone can be cold-blooded. But sincere thanks to those "alternatives", because of them, civilization can develop faster. In the movie, the jury agrees that the child is innocent, but refuses to give more help. Yes, everyone has their own career in life, are you willing to spend time helping someone you don't know? At the end of the movie, there is heavy snow outside the window, and the man said, you can choose to stay here, or fly freely, but you have to make your own decision. Yes, you have to decide for yourself too.
