But please don't shoot too hard, it hurts the first time. Jon Sidney Lumet
's 1957 feature film "12 Angry Men" is an unexpected classic and can be called a great one.
In the sweltering weather, twelve jurors who did not know each other gathered in a small room to discuss and vote on a murder case. The conclusion had to be unanimous, and the result was related to the life of an 18-year-old boy. Interestingly, the story It started with an eleven-to-one [guilty-dominated] situation and developed to a final twelve-to-zero [innocent] outcome. 90 minutes.
There are many bright spots in the debate process. Each juror has different values. The stories behind them are worth exploring. There are bright spots in each of them, but I don’t seem to have a good memory.
The old grandfather with shrewd eyes, the grumpy one who had conflicts with his son, the middle-aged man who was not persuaded until the end, the rigorous man in a suit and leather shoes with glasses who didn’t sweat for the first 80 minutes, grew up in a slum A sensitive man who is hard to let go, the one who speaks with a strong accent [looks like a Russian accent] seems to be a very serious and patriotic man, his brother-in-law is a lawyer who likes the Yankees's non-standard sitting posture and is impatient. Small reports and flattering, almost bald-headed men with a nasty voice, handsome looks, working in advertising-related professions, lively men who like to tell bad jokes, presided over meetings with a traditional style of voting, a watchmaker, An assistant baseball coach, and the man whose name is Davis is known to be Davis in the end credits of the building's poised, poised man who initially objected and staunchly defended the right to raise [reasonable doubt].
I don't know if there is any confusion.
The characters' personalities are too prominent, the plot is tight, the climax is repeated, and every vote is exciting.
[Guilty] [Not Guilty] has suddenly become an important indicator of American democracy. When all the evidence is against the client, and even the defense lawyer has given up the defense, when everyone thinks he is guilty, do you have the courage to raise the opposition card just because you have doubts in your heart?
The man with a strong accent said at the end of the film when mediating disagreements: [The government has called us together, who we have never met, to decide the fate of this young man. We must be fair and reasonable. ] [This is the reason why the United States is strong. 】
I almost knelt down. America was so dazzling at that moment.
I have limited ability to understand the deeper system, culture, etc. I can't understand it, and I don't understand the film shooting method at all. It's just that the frontal shooting is involved many times in the film, and the expressions on everyone's faces are really amazing.
In every voting scene, Davis made a speech about [reasonable doubt], and the scene of people persuading dissidents in the toilet, the scene of a few men watching the rain outside the window, the man who liked the Yankees was forced to speak The scene where the reason for [Not guilty] was considered, the scene at the end of the film where everyone turned their backs to the angry man, and at the end, the angry man tore up the photo but cried bitterly and said [Not guilty]. At the end, the old man stopped Davis and said Goodbye scene.
About human nature, about law, about democracy, about courage, about family affection, about society, about scientific argumentation. All here.
Over.
