Review of 12 Angry Men (1957) by Maya_D64 — 12 Dec 2021

I'm 17 and I was impressed by this movie. I really like watching movies in general because I don't have a favorite genre and I'm always open to discovering new things. However, I usually don't watch a lot of movies from the 1950s like this one and I was surprised to see that the topics discussed in 12 angry men are still very relevant today.

The movie approaches serious and interesting issues in society such as racism, discimination, different social classes and death penalty with intelligence and humour. As a viewer of the movie, I felt involved in the debate, which allowed me to think like I was one of the juror.

I never got bored of the whole movie even though it takes place in the same room so it's actually pretty impressive that it remains entertaining, and especially nowadays. Every little details of 12 angry men are well thought.

I love how the juror 8 (Henry Fonda) managed to change the general opinion of 11 men, who all have different lives and personalities. My only advice would be for you to watch it, since it's also a classic of American cinema.
