12 Angry Men Review
My Rating: 9.5/10
IMDb Rating: 8.9/10 Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 100% Metacritics Rating: N/A My Favorite Quotes 1. "Juror #8: It's always difficult to keep personal prejudice out of a thing like this. And wherever you run into it, prejudice always obscures the truth. I don't really know what the truth is. I don't suppose anybody will ever really know. Nine of us now seem to feel that the defendant is innocent, but we're just gambling on probabilities - we may be wrong. We may be trying to let a guilty man go free, I don't know. Nobody really can. But we have a reasonable doubt, and that's something that's very valuable in our system. No jury can declare a man guilty unless it's sure." What a classic. Truly a magical movie that is a one of a kind. It takes very relevant problems with ourselves as a society, and presents them in a jury situation. Who will inevitably decide the fate of a young child who allegedly killed his father by stabbing him with a knife. From the beginning it does truly appear with the clear evidence that the child without any reasonable doubt murdered his father. But through one mans guts he is able to dig deeper into the so called evidence and find shocking results. I love the way he proves to each person individually and with good reasons that are relatable to each of the other 11 angry men. It really helps you look at things from another persons perspective. While watching the movie I was so involved in it that I didn't even realize that the movie was in black and white until the very end. A short and sweet movie that everyone should see. I would still fully understand that this movie may not appeal to everybody, especially the ignorant teenagers of my generation. They don't see the beauty in truly intelligent movies and are only looking for the action. |
