The jury's acquittal isn't something this film should focus on

Strictly speaking, this is not a movie. The movie is mainly expressed by the language of the lens, and this film is mainly the lines, and the language of the lens is only auxiliary.
Generally good movies are meaningful, this movie is different from ordinary movies with strong emotions, and it is much more rational.
I read many of the issues that Posner and Dworkin discussed, and perhaps the most knowledgeable will find that all the major issues discussed by modern jurists are covered in this film.
Like most American films, this one promotes American values.
The value of the United States is reflected in two places. One is that the image of the male protagonist represents the self-expectation of Americans
. The spirit of modern justice, such as "reasonable doubt"
, the essence of this film is that the positive description of the jury system makes it easier for me to think about the justice of the Dworkins, the transcendence of the law by the Posners, and the discussion of many, many jurists and core issues. The deeper you understand everyone's theory, the better you can understand the film.

Don't be naive enough to think that this is a movie about justice and your head will be clouded.

Damn, why do I write so ugly, I don't want to read it myself

    Although not as excited as reading Linda’s "Worries in the Depths of History" at the time, as the film said, "This is the reason why our country is strong." The judicial justice/democracy in the United States is made up of so many details over the years. Today's motherland, don't say anything. It's 5,000 years, not even 200 years from the enemy's home.

    I know this is a great movie, but I didn't expect it to be so great.

12 Angry Men quotes

  • Juror #3: [when Juror #11 questions whether the boy would return home to retrieve the knife] Look, you voted guilty. What side are ya on?

    Juror #11: I don't believe I have to be loyal to one side or the other. I'm simply asking questions.

  • Juror #8: I just want to talk.

    Juror #7: Well, what's there to talk about? Eleven men in here think he's guilty. No one had to think about it twice except you.

    Juror #10: I want to to ask you something: do you believe his story?

    Juror #8: I don't know whether I believe it or not - maybe I don't.

    Juror #7: So how come you vote not guilty?

    Juror #8: Well, there were eleven votes for guilty. It's not easy to raise my hand and send a boy off to die without talking about it first.

    Juror #7: Well now, who says it's easy?

    Juror #8: No one.

    Juror #7: What, just because I voted fast? I honestly think the guy's guilty. Couldn't change my mind if you talked for a hundred years.

    Juror #8: I'm not trying to change your mind. It's just that... we're talking about somebody's life here. We can't decide it in five minutes. Supposing we're wrong?

    Juror #7: Supposing we're wrong! Supposing this whole building should fall down on my head. You can suppose anything!

    Juror #8: That's right.
