Two hundred years are not out of date

Some movies, born in the 1950s, are a long time ago; some movies, staying on black and white screens, seem outdated. However, the light of democracy, freedom, rationality, and humanity emanating from these films makes them detached from technology and from perception. These films, I dare say, will not be out of date for at least two hundred years.

The two films that were also born in 1957, "Twelve Angry Men" and "The Witness for the Prosecution", are such classic films in my mind.

In addition to the immortality of the core of the film, the script is exquisite, the director's storytelling, and the actors' acting skills are completely online, everything is almost impeccable. With the popularity of movies, today's moviegoers have more and more sophisticated tastes (like me haha), but these two movies are not only great spiritual cores, their tight plots, suspense, and fast rhythm will make your blood spurt. Sheet. Plus, the American rationality or British humour that runs through it is absolutely icing on the cake. After all, no one likes a sleepy movie, no matter how great it may be.

However, if someone tells you about the plot once, no matter how wonderful it is the second time, if there is less suspense, there will be less excitement. So, shameful spoilers. Therefore, it is best not to look at the domestic version of "Twelve Citizens". For China, which does not have a jury system, how to do it is awkward. The same is a copy, "The Labyrinth of the Heart" just turned over the divine editing in Nolan's "Memento", and the story is so grounded that it is called a good film.
