How to remake a classic movie out of convention, I think it is not easy for every director, and the American version of Twelve Angry Men is very logical and the actors are very expressive. The movie should be considered a difficult movie to remake. Fortunately, the Russian version jumped out of the American version.
The story is still that the young man is suspected of killing his adoptive father. This film is not entirely from the legal point of view, but more from the aspects of human nature, conscience and responsibility. The form of the story will reflect the various states of life and the world. Compared with the American version, in the Russian version, where everyone agrees that the juvenile is innocent, the artist proposes that it may be safer for the juvenile to be in prison, and suggests that jury members assist in catching the murderer. At this time, I think the climax of the film has come. No one wants to be responsible for the boy's life, and at the same time, no one wants to go against their conscience and send the boy to prison again. In the last vote, everyone still agreed to be innocent. This kind of human nature and The sense of tragic and solemnity produced by the paradox of responsibility is extremely shocking. In the end, the young man is acquitted and the painter is responsible for his life.
At the end of the film, the scientific researchers returned to the gym to kiss the Virgin Mary, and the release of the bird may also symbolize the collision between the current tradition and modernity in Russia. The bird stayed in the warm room for a while and flew to the snowy world.
The film elevates the original debate on law, democracy, and life to the torture of conscience, human nature, and responsibility, and at the same time reflects the current situation of various problems and contradictions in Russia.
