Immortal masterpiece!

This is the second time I've written a movie review. When I watched the movie, the front made me feel a little boring, and it was all lines. But the latter unfolded layer by layer, bit by bit, which caused me to think a lot. I think this is an immortal masterpiece!

1. different

All the others think he's guilty, and if I think he's guilty, this discussion doesn't need to go on, but I don't have a solid understanding of the whole case, and I can't make a hasty decision, and it's directly related to an 18-year-old Teenage life.

This is probably what Judge 8 had in mind when he started.

This is a different decision, and it is also a respect for life.

2. Rational

Possibility is possible, even if it is only one in a million possible, it cannot be called impossible.

How many decisions we usually make, how many words we are not 100% sure about, but we say words like "certain" and "impossible"... It's probably become a habit for a lot of people because most of the time it turns out they're right, but only "mostly", and it's also possible that they've never encountered a time when they're wrong.

This habit is placed on a person's life and death decision, and it also makes them feel that they are right. But this is the life and death of a person. When we analyze it more rationally, we will realize that our thoughts are not 100% rational.

Habits can change a person, and irrational habits can affect the judgment of our life choices.

3. Listen

When what you say is completely illogical, no arguments, and pure blood, no one will really be persuaded by you.

When others say, we have to listen and think about whether our words and deeds are correct and persuasive. When others (Review No. 3) have the same opinion as myself (Review No. 2), I will echo what others say. Judge No. 2 fought alone and asked him to tell his reasons. He couldn't tell. He was just coaxing and yelling. No one interrupted him.

4. Calm thinking

The background is a hot afternoon, after five o’clock, the hunger and heat are full, and it is even more difficult to calm down. Judge No. 7 is a typical example.

When five people were persuaded, it was six to six. I believe that the person in front of him hardly listened to it. He still wanted to end it early, end the heat, end the hunger, end this debate, and rush to do what he likes thing.

He changed his vote.

"Say your reasons!" He couldn't tell, his heart wasn't on this debate, he couldn't calm down and think about it, and others followed suit.

Some of these 12 people may be people around us or ourselves. When we see them, we can give ourselves some inspiration, some reflection, and some changes. This is one of the meanings of the film.

    Looking at the electric fans and luxurious toilets of the 1950s, I just want to sigh the "evil capitalism"!

12 Angry Men quotes

  • [first lines]

    Man in corridor: You did a wonderful job, wonderful job!

    Judge: To continue, you've listened to a long and complex case, murder in the first degree. Premeditated murder is the most serious charge tried in our criminal courts. You've listened to the testimony, you've had the law read to you and interpreted as it applies in this case, it's now your duty to sit down and try to separate the facts from the fancy. One man is dead, another man's life is at stake, if there's a reasonable doubt in your minds as to the guilt of the accused, uh a reasonable doubt, then you must bring me a verdict of "Not Guilty". If, however, there's no reasonable doubt, then you must, in good conscience, find the accused "Guilty". However you decide, your verdict must be unanimous. In the event that you find the accused "Guilty", the bench will not entertain a recommendation for mercy. The death sentence is mandatory in this case. You're faced with a grave responsibility, thank you, gentlemen.

  • Juror #7: I don't know about the rest of 'em but I'm gettin' a little tired of this yakity-yack and back-and-forth, it's gettin' us nowhere. So I guess *I'll* have to break it up; I change my vote to "not guilty."

    Juror #3: You *what?*

    Juror #7: You heard me, I've... had enough.

    Juror #3: Whaddaya mean, you've had enough? That's no answer!

    Juror #7: Hey, listen, you just uh... take care of yourself, 'uh? You know?

    Juror #11: He's right. That's not an answer. What kind of a man are you? You have sat here and voted "guilty" with everyone else because there are some baseball tickets burning a hole in your pocket? And now you've changed your vote because you say you're sick of all the talking here?

    Juror #7: Now listen, buddy - !

    Juror #11: Who tells you that you have the right like this to play with a man's life? Don't you care...

    Juror #7: Now wait a minute! You can't talk like that to me - !

    Juror #11: I *can* talk like that to you! If you want to vote "not guilty", then do it because you are convinced the man is not guilty, not because you've "had enough". And if you think he is guilty, then vote that way! Or don't you have the guts to do what you think is right?

    Juror #7: Now listen...

    Juror #11: Guilty or not guilty?

    Juror #7: I told ya! Not guilty!

    Juror #11: Why?

    Juror #7: ...Look, I don't have tuh...

    Juror #11: You *do* have to! *Say* it! *Why?*

    Juror #7: Uhh... I don't, uh... think he's guilty!

    [Juror #11 stares back with impatient resignation, and finally returns to his seat]
