12 Angry Men

This is a movie about people's perspectives can be easily influenced; proof is never always right (sometimes interpreted wrongly); and when someone's life is in your hands, you must not just dismiss and deny the right of the guilty to live. Also, never give up hope even when you're the loner- you must be patient and insist- trust your intuition, it will bring you where you want to be.

I like the part where the old man in the jury related the simple and natural habit/ action of the man in specs (which is massaging his nasal bridge) to the woman who claimed to have witness the crime. Again, observance is extremely important at this point and habitual actions, though easily overlooked, it can coerce the jury into wrongly sending the boy to die.

My favourite jurors were the man who firstly defended the innocent boy and the old man with white hair.

I live in a century where action-packed movies or soapy romantic films rule and dominate, so this black and white movie was definitely kind of boring- especially the introduction. Also, the introductory part was a little too long and mundane. Perhaps they can go straight to the point, and that'd have captured the attention of viewers faster. The setting is boring because they never leave the meeting room which is locked and ever so stuffy. One thing that abhorred me was the men's sweating armpits marks on their shirt. That is just plain unhygienic and disgusting and it ruins my viewing pleasure.

3 stars I'd say. Original and interesting storyline but the setting somehow ruined it. Yet again, I contradict myself. If it ain't in a meeting room, how'd they sit down and listen to each other's views about the case? Perhaps a nicer room would settle my complaints.

This is definitely not a insipid movie, but outlined with many many interesting points. This movie is not jejune at all, it's more to meet the eye. I'm highly impressed with how a stereotypical boring meeting can turn out so interesting and colourful with a rich and diverse mixture and clash of personalities and emotions.
