Review of 12 Angry Men (1957) by Ngray — 11 Apr 2020
Exceptional utilization of symbolism, intentional framing, and cinematography to highlight the subtle but significant reaction of each juror's exchange. For a show that was created a long time ago, it is still able to teach valuable and relevant lessons to its viewers.
‘Prejudice always obscures the truth’. To uncover more than what meets the eye, the movie brought us on a journey from the start point of a seemingly undeniable crime, to the end point of feelings being opposite from the surface decision.
What seemed to be an undeniable murder on the surface convinced 11 out of the 12 jurors to vote ‘guilty’, with juror 8’s vote of ‘not guilty’ causing an uproar that started the process of negotiation in an attempt to understand as much as possible before making a decision.
