|
12 Angry Men is the type of film that all Amenricans should respect.It gets to core of the American judicial system,and proof that justice and mercy can be found within the system.In this film,all 12 juries are man,they serves a purpose here.The case involve murder.The defendant an undisclosed minerity from the slums,a young man accused of killing his father,considered that the father resportedly didn"t get along with his son.
Since the 18 years old is charged with first degree murder ,all12 men just agree unanimously and must be absolutely sure of their decision if reaching a guilty verdict by law.A not guilty verdict means that there remains a reasonable doubt.Initially the 12 men enter the jury room without much purpose.Jack Warden is mostly concerned about getting out to see the ballgame within the Indians,and oters are anxious to vote and get out of the hot jury room.
The initial vote stands 11-1,with the No.8 standing against the other juries.Althjugh he is not sure that the bojy is innocent,he is uncomfortable wiith the idea that they neglece to discuss the case and decide his fate with a superficial first tally.
As the discussion unfold,the men reveal much about their own characters and this plays a factor in how they think and vote in this case.The angriest man is No.3,asimple man who always shojuting and bullying others.The bad relationship with his son make him think that the young are bad.No.10 have prejudice to those kind of people live in the slums.The others are far less angry.
In the film,No.8 champions the best of our legal system,going beyond the confiness of the court appointed defendant lawyer and asking the questions that should have been asked in court.The film supports the idea that jery mimbers should have a right ask questions.And by No.8"s react in the film,it warn that jury must takes his jury resonsibilities seriously,shoundn"t make fun of a man"s life with inresponsible attitude'
12 Angry Men is now recognized as one of the great film dramas from the 1950"s.It"s a good film.I like to see it !
