What Juror gets on Your nerve the most ? For me is Number 7 .
The guy who is in advertising annoys me the most, he is the ultimate sheep, no spine. I like the Swiss guy best, because he knows how important this experience is, but I also like the glasses guy, he seems like a principled and strict man, but still able to change his mind when confronted with new perspectives.
Nr. 7 was the most annoying, on the other hand, Nr. 10 (?) was a disgusting racist. So I vote for both of them ;)
No. 7 He was briming with hate.
I'll give the "mean man of the year award" to number 3. (Lee J. Cobb-That was his style, he 'd play guys ya loved to hate) Baseball Juror (Jack Warden) did a lot of funny comedy in the 70's 80's. But how about Fonda? The guy's screen persona--Men of dignity, intelligence, courage, and compassion..His forte and he did it for 50 years, Two awards for stage, and 3 Movie Oscars. Loved your summation/reaction to this AFI top 100 classic!
I'd like to change my vote to No. 3
One reason this movie is so good is that all the actors were top tier movie, TV or stage actors of their time.
Yes, they had success as main stars, supporting roles, character actors. I recognize them all. Pure acting talent. Simple, but powerful.
They also did a very long rehearsal period like stage production. So everyone had a good sense of their lines and the different beats of the production ahead of filming.
Some of them continued on with long careers after this.
Yes, even Quincy was a juror!
to be honest what good movie needs is good actors and good script, rest is fixable by edits and other tricks behind screen, today we either had good actors with bad scripts or good scripts with bad actors
This room is full of some of the greatest actors to stand in front of a camera. Sadly all gone now, They don't make too many like this anymore. Wow, "you and your ancestors should be ashamed!" What a great phrase! I love it! Thank you Bisscute!!
Director Lumet wrote: "I shot the first third of the movie above eye level, shot the second third at eye level, and the last third from below eye level. In that way, toward the end, the ceiling began to appear. Not only were the walls closing in, the ceiling was as well. The sense of increasing claustrophobia did a lot to raise the tension of the last part of the movie."
Also when tensions get high, the camera is pretty much right in the actors' faces
The cinematography, shot composition and blocking in this film is some of the greatest in cinema. Sidney Lumet made some of the boldest and most well made and researched films over the course of several decades, for sure. Dog Day Afternoon, Prince of the City, Q&A, Serpico, Deathtrap, Night Falls on Manhattan.. so many masterpieces.
I especially like how the camera angle in general goes down as the film progresses. It starts off with some very high shots, ceiling level even, and by the time we're at the end we're looking up at the characters and they're larger than life. It gets tight as it goes.
@@MrGadfly772For me, it's the low-medium shots of the jurors when they announce their individual verdicts with that stark lighting in their faces, the remarkably creative positioning of any given character in any given shot, the subtle pans and zooms.. there's so much on a visual level to appreciate that you almost forget Lumet was a theater and TV director for years and pretty much had that specificity down pat before he moved to feature films.
"dog day afternoon" and "serpico" are excellent. two of my favorite pacino films. pacino looks so cool in "serpico" with a beard and long hair as an undercover cop.
two other great henry fonda films along the same theme as "12 angry men" are "the ox-bow incident" (1943) about vigilantism in the old west, and "the wrong man" (1956), directed by hitchcock. the title is self explanatory.
I agree. I saw the 97 version first (great cast headed up by Jack Lemmon as 8) and thought it was amazing, but, watching it again after the original, Yep, it's all about the blocking. 97 doesn't come close.
I agree ,this is Sydney Lumet's masterpiece, amazing cinematography, look at long shots, this is really magical cinema, one word "Reasonable doubt ", I would say top 10 of all time for sure
My favourite character is Juror number 3 played by the great Lee J Cobb, who comes across as a bad man but is revealed to be a broken man. He gives a phenominal performance.
Incredible acting. I loved the end scene seeing his emotional frustration ripping up the photo as his self realization begins to kick in.
He was the detective in The Exorcist.
The acting by all the "bad" jurors, especially Lee J. Cobb, is outstanding!
He truly did his job right
I like how, by watching this movie, you became a juror as well - shows the quality of the story and its delivery
The old man on the jury knows what it's like to be an old man. The younger men are rejecting what he says because he's old.
I've watched this several times over the decades of my life. It's not one to binge-watch over and over again, but once every 5 to 10 years. It holds up well.
Honestly, when I first found this channel I didn't expect the author to have such a great taste in choosing and evaluating movies, in addition to entertaining reactions
The reason you've never seen anything from the jury's prespective is because this movie basically says it all. Any new jury movie would just be a repeat of something covered here.
and we dont talk about the remake. how can you beat the perfection of this one
I view this one as way too idealistic. Every juror was of high enough intellect to be able to follow the logic of every argument. When in reality they are much more often not that bright and are easily influenced by theatrics and charisma of the prosecution and defense attorney. Otherwise the best attorneys wouldn't be the ones focusing on those aspects, but the ones who could represent facts the best way. I would love to see a movie about a jury, where maybe around half would never be able to grasp more complicated trains of thought and just voted on their feelings. And someone innocent get convicted just because the prosecutor was more eloquent and charismatic than the defense. Especially if the evidence was really flimsy and the theatrics of the court room were the deciding factor. Would paint people a lot more realistic picture of than this one.
Or even worse, a politically charged well publicized case, where media has manipulated people to be certain of defendants guilt and jurors would be voting guilty despite being fairly sure that the person was not so, to save their own behinds from hate mob.
You really lack imagination if you can't see a jury movie with a different twist being feasible. I just came up with those two at the spot, without any prior thought on the matter.
Juror 8 the k drama film is pretty good
@Greenwood4727 the remake is still great. It's not as masterful as this, but it's still a well made remake full of incredibly talented actors.
@@system0fadowner251 the remake is good, but as i said the first is perfect. compared to the first
Anyone who has ever been a witness before court knows how difficult it can be to actually "tell the truth and nothing but the truth" especially when it is the first time, when one is nervous or when one is the victim of the crime. You can be absolutely sure of what happened until questions are asked you don't expect, then you find out how much you really remember or how much of your own bias is put in to colour the case in a certain way. In hindsight I am very glad that the defendent I was put up against as a witness had a very good lawyer, but you have to do your part and admit if you are mistaken before someone else does that for you.
Madalina, the rude juror who had a problem with his son was the police detective in "The Exorcist." He's pretty convincing in both roles.
Juror #1 (the jury foreman) was the detective in _Psycho_ (1960).
@@rickardroach9075 True - Arbogast. See juror #8, Davis, play an evil gunman in "Once Upon a Time in the West."
Lee J Cobb, Juror #3, was also the union boss in "On the Waterfront".
Truly a classic movie. About half of the actors were well known, with the actor who was the first not guilty vote was Henry Fonda. He was a big star.
Although the movie doesn't say so, I think the defendant was supposed to be Puerto Rican.
Did you notice that we don't know any of the characters' names until the end, when two of the jurors speak on the steps?
Sidney Lumet directed 12 Angry Men. He directed a lot of other really good movies, including The Pawnbroker, Fail Safe, Serpico, Murder on the Orient Express, Dog Day Afternoon, Network, The Wiz, The Verdict, Gloria, and Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. Dog Day Afternoon is a favorite of mine.
You said this was only the second black and white movie you've seen. There are many other really great ones, for instance, Casablanca, The Third Man, Psycho, Dr. Strangelove, The Hustler, Some Like It Hot, The Apartment, All About Eve, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, and It's a Wonderful Life. You'd do well to react to any of these. It's a Wonderful Life is a beloved Christmas movie, so maybe you could react to it then.
Yeah, the movies from back in the day when all (or almost all) movies were black and white don't have the kind of visual spectacle so common in movies today, but they tended to be much more thoughtful than your average modern blockbuster. The dialog is generally a little more old fashioned which can maybe be a little off-putting to some but once you get used to that it's usually very good. You gave a pretty good list, but there are many others that could also be mentioned. I agree with putting Casablanca first on the list. Another couple of my favorites that you didn't mention are It Happened One Night and The Maltese Falcon.
@@hkpew Thanks. I wasn't trying to give an exhaustive list. There are too many good ones for that.
The writer purposely left the kid's ethnicity, race, or nationality ambiguous, partly because it doesn't matter to the play & partly to emphasize, that it doesn't matter!
This is not a movie, it's a monument
Sidney Lumet was a god damn brilliant filmmaker. His work is foundational.
@@reservoirdude92 absolutely
This movie is a timeless classic ...Glad you got the chance to watch it
Wow. You are watching a CLASSIC. I've seen this performed on stage and easily dozens of times on TV. It never gets old. My favorite courtroom drama.
More than anything, this is a timeless human drama. One of the best films ever made with some of the best actors of the day and excellent lighting, camera work and direction, all built upon a superb script!
Thank you for reacting to one of my all-time favorite movies. Probably the best movie ever made that was filmed mostly in just one room.
Thank you so much
you are fool if you think this is better than remake...
My wife played Juror #3 in a college production. To this day I am glad that my mother met her before seeing the show.
The "second feature" refers to the days when most movie theaters showed two movies at each showing for the price of a ticket.
You have to watch “Casablanca “ considered one of the best movies ever, it’s old, but really holds up
Lee J Cobb’s turn as Juror 3 is my favorite portrayal of any role, by any actor, ever. I first saw this when I was 14, and I remember thinking that I finally understood what people meant by saying that a supporting actor "stole the show".
in the 50s air conditioning was a rarity. Large public buildings were the places to find it. Movie Theaters were a place to go and cool off in a cool place. Sometimes going to a movie wasnt about seeing a show it was a chance to stop melting
Also, US movie theaters didn't have multiple screens, only one screen back in the 50s and earlier. So a theater might have only one movie or two movies that cycle through each other. You bought a ticket for one of them or both films if you wanted to see a double feature. The kid could easily have asked for a double feature ticket and stewed in his seat over the argument with his father for the length of the films never knowing what was played.
I used to go to the liquor store to stand in the walk-in refrigerator. 🥵
Second feature was a second movie shown after the main movie. When this was made, theaters would show newsreels, cartoons, and two movies for a single ticket. The movies were shorter, so it wasn't a horribly long night. It went out of style for theaters, but when I was a kid drive-in movies still had two movies a night for a single ticket.
I saw this movie at school back in the 60s. It was required viewing back then.
How far we have fallen.
It's a wonderful film I've loved it for years. Unfortunately many people have gone to prison, or death, for things they didn't do because of jury's bring their personal baggage into that room with them. This movie was to show to not do that and to take the thing seriously. I've been on a jury and it's one of the most stressful things you can imagine. You have only what is presented to you by prosecution and defense. But also the judge instructs you on what you can and can't consider. I didn't know that was part of it until I got there. Even if you do the best you can there's always a feeling, "what if I was wrong."
10% of death penalty convictions are later found to have been incorrect. Either after the execution or beforehand. The system is justice in the US is supposed to be essentially summarized as "Better 9 guilty men go free than even one innocent be imprisoned."
I have been on 2 Jurys ... it was a sad indictment on society .... full of racism, ignorance and indifference. This movie captured that beautifully and the sad thing is that not much has changed in 60 years since this movie was made.
Your living in a sad world of your own making. Racism was laughed at in the 1970's and on. People like you live in La La Land, and see racism in everything.
Always wonder why anyone would want trial by jury. I wouldn't for sure.
@2727rogers, judges can be just as prejudiced as the common person. I've witnessed that firsthand repeatedly.
@@randybass8842 You must be an American. Judges in my country are not political appointments but hired based on merit. Also even if you get a conservative judge they are not extreme like American judges seem to be.
"I brought you into this world and I'll take you out of it." is a pretty common saying. I've heard it growing up here in the states. The baseball guy annoys me. I get it and can relate: Getting picked for jury duty sucks. It makes you miss work or takes one of your days off, but you just do it, so you should take it seriously if you're there. I am on call for it now. I have to call in every Monday, just to see if they pick me for that Tuesday over the next 3 months.
Been called several times but never selected, not even for a very significant murder trial here years ago that you'd think they'd want to call from a very wide pool of juror candidates. Got a notice to call in a couple weeks, we'll see if my streak holds or if my time has come.
@@ArtamStudio This is my 3rd time. I got selected once, but cut in the process and sent home. I hope your streak stands.
In Australia you are paid an allowance for going to court each day or part-day. You'll be paid more if you're empanelled as a juror on a trial, and more again per day if the trial goes more than 10 days. You also receive a meal allowance where lunch isn't provided and an allowance for your travel to the courthouse. You do not lose any of your leave entitlements. This results in jurors being more able to devote time to their deliberations if necessary. A far more just system.
Cheers!
31:40 Back in the "old days" it was customary to show two movies at a time. More commonly referred to as a "Double Feature". In general .. you'd start with a preview of coming attractions then one or two cartoons then the main feature ... a short intermission to use the restroom or get more popcorn ... then the second feature. All for less than a buck if I remember correctly.
The well-dressed actor with the glasses, E.G. Marshall, was more famous during my childhood as the voice and host for the National Geographic Hour on TV every week.
My favourite Courtroom Drama is "Inherit the Wind" about a famous Trial. The two main stars both won the Academy Award for Best Actor Twice! Fredric March and Spencer Tracy!
Great Reaction to this Classic......
I saw this Presented Muliple Times as a play in High School (Early 1980's).......
Shout out to the Legends in this Movie...... Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb, Jack Klugman, Martin Balsam, E.G. Marshall, Jack Warden, Ed Begley
movie is shown in MBA business and marketing courses. ways of thinking, many types of prejudices, group think, variances in perceptions, types of emotions, importance of attention to detail, powers of persuasion, the list goes on...this movie captures staggering amount of concepts...audience is always completely drawn in
Got shown this movie as a freshman in high school. The whole class was ooing and ah-ing as the case unraveled. I walked away with a newfound appreciation for cinematic storytelling.
in other words you are just too lazy to learn russian and watch a superior remake of it...
Runaway jury is another great movie about someone influencing a jury. Really exciting movie
The 2 things this movie has are great characters and a story that pulls you in. Hard to find that in current tV and film
31:39 In those days, cinemas often showed "double features" - two movies for the price of one, played back to back (but probably with an intermission in between - to stretch your legs, go to the bathroom, get snacks from the concession, etc).
Considering what they charge for admission these days, you'd think you'd get not only a double-feature, but perhaps an entire saga marathon.
Double Features are pretty rare now, which is not surprising, considering how many films have expanded from the old 60-90 minute format, to running a minimum of 90 minutes and running as long as 2-3 hrs - epics like Titanic, LOTR, etc.
One of the last times I heard about a double-feature happening, was back in the 80s when The Empire Strikes Back was first released, and they reprised the original Star Wars with it.
You have an Excellent Approach to Watching/Reacting to Films... Keep-On Going!!!
It's a study in human nature, the jury room is just a backdrop to showcase the behaviors.
I am glad you are watching old movies, most reactors don't, but they are some of the best stories.
My parents kind of said the same thing.... "I brought you into this world, I can take you out just as easily".
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Love it.
Thank you for mentioning that they didn't prove the kid was not guilty, they proved that there was reasonable doubt. Too many reactions to this movie kept talking how the kid was proven innocent at the end and there's a really huge difference.
You're distorting the basis of our judicial system. A persons charged with a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty. The burden of proof is on the prosecution to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the accused guilt. There is no such burden nor obligation on the accused to prove their innocence because they are guaranteed the presumption of innocence. You don't have to prove something that is, by law, established until proven otherwise. That is why the accused can't be compelled to testify during their trial. So, the boy walked into the court the same way he walked out, an innocent person. The movie proved the jurors followed the oath they took to to rule only on the facts of the case and to find a person guilty on if that guilt has been established by the prosecution beyond a reasonable doubt.
Except we don't know if the boy actually was innocent, just that the jury was convinced he is from a previous assumed guilty verdict. For all we know he was guilty and did kill his father, the evidence provided however wasn't sufficient to prove that to be the case within a reasonable doubt. It is better to let 10 guilty men free than punish 1 innocent, so a verdict leaning towards innocence is preferred though not objectively correct all the time.
One of my most favourite movies ever! A masterpiece with an amazing cast.
Henry Fonda wa a human rights campaigner in his actual life.
Cheers and thanks sweet Biss!!
My favorite juror was the thoughtful old man with 20/20 vision
He seems very cerebral, the way he gets inside the witnesses heads and thinks about their motivations and replaying their faces in his head
And the way he asks pointed questions I find so funny, it seems like he’d be a little scamp playing jokes on you or making witty wordplay at you if he were your grandpa
As a kid when i was being a menace to calm me down my Father used to say: "I brought you into this world and I can also take you out." haha
I once served on a jury and we heard the case of a young man who was caught in a drug sting by cops and they accused him of buying drugs from an undercover cop. Some of the people on the jury reminded me of the men in this movie. One juror did not want to be there because he owned a business and wanted to just get back to his business as soon as possible. Another person was not in a rush to go back to work so she was fine just taking as much time as possible because she was still getting paid (plus the court allocates a daily stipend for every juror). I was the lone person who wanted a not guilty, because I felt there were extenuating circumstances in the case. The guy who sold the drugs to the undercover cop testified that he was forced to do so by a bully that lived in the homeless encampment, so he was afraid for his life to say no to the bigger bully.

I have this movie on DVD. When my daughter was in high school, she actually watched it with me. She was studying courtroom specifics in Government class and the teacher talked in great detail about this movie (at least I THINK it was this specific movie. they reshot this movie in the 80's starring Jack Lemmon. it came from a pretty successful stage play).
The two that got on my nerves the most would be (I'm ashamed to admit I can't remember the jurist numbers) was A) the guy with the "hot weather cold" whose prejudice and personal bias was his ONLY opinion (can't stand people like that), and B) the last guy who SO regretted his personal relationship with his own son that he allowed his own bitterness make him hate anything and everything. Absolutely incredible actors, all.
I knew you would greatly enjoy the digs the European gentleman got in : "He don't even speak good English!" "DOESN'T speak good English."; "Why are you so polite all the time?!?" "For the same reason you are NOT! It is how I was raised!" Excellent lines excellently delivered.
I also liked Juror 11; the notes about him from the play say that he's from an eastern European immigrant background, and it's implied that where he comes from, trials like these do not take place.
The funny thing is that while Juror 8 is treated like the ideal juror, in reality, his actions would have resulted in a mistrial being declared; he introduced outside evidence (the other knife), conducted an outside investigation (visiting the place of the crime himself), and brought up evidence and arguments not mentioned at the trial (the female witness's not wearing glasses, how long it took for the male witness to get to the window from his bed), which are all BIG no-nos in trials in the US.
Do they have jury trials in Romania? I know that in Germany there have only been bench trials (the judge determines if the defendant is guilty or not as well as determining a sentence) since the 1920s.
Look further back in time to Silent Movies. 'Sunrise A Song Of Two Humans', 'L'Inferno' and 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' are notable suggestions.
you've seen Juror 3 before, he was the detective obsessed with movies in the Exorcist
It is so perfect when the guy goes on a tirade "you know these people what they are like..." and the 11 other jurors just turn their backs to him.
Yeah , that scene really had a big impact
34:14 - "You and your ancestors should be ashamed." Damn, that's pretty harsh. 🤣
Having served on 4 Juries this movie is pretty accurate in terms of the kind of jurors you will meet in most of them, some are missing but you get most of the types in them (or at least I have)... and so many dont take the civil duty seriously, and you do get some angry ones.
In my country, Juries are selected randomly from those called to serve that week (about 130 people), names (about 50 of em) are taken out of a 'hat', then all those picked go to the court room where 12 are selected randomly from that 50, the lawyers from both sides have 3 chances to challenge a juror as they walk up to the jury box, basically each side can say 'No' to selected jurors 3 times (any juror thats challenged is then out of the pool of those who can be selected from)... once all 12 are sitting down in the box thats the jury... all random, if not totally perfect.
It just makes me glad i wont (hopefully) be on the other end of a Jury... its one of the greatest civic duties a person can participate in, in our societies. For those who get on a jury, take it seriously, very very seriously... regardless of the inconvenience, a persons future is in your hands (even if they deserve it).
A masterpiece. I'm glad you watched it, and I respect the values you expressed, a lot.
I appreciated your reaction. Please continue to watch classic films! :)
Tremendous cast. Great movie. I haven’t seen it in about 50 years but I remember how good it was.
It is, I enjoyed watching it and was invested haha
You missed a lot of things but understand, I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this movie, however, you made 1 very astute observation. When Lee
J. Cobbs character tore up the picture of his son and then changed his vote. You said it was like he was forgiving his son, I never thought of that interpretation. I think it’s a good one. Lee Cobbs performance in this was the best I’ve ever seen.
Biss, I am thrilled that you reacted to this movie, and more delighted that you enjoyed it.
This movie is all about the acting, and it is superb. Sidney Lumet's directing is great too.
A fantastic film with great characters. How many stars would you give this movie, Biss?
Thank you again for this great reaction.
A truly great film. You were great with your analysis as the film went by and was spot on.
It is a favorite film for me.
As we say in Texas' y'all be safe.
I don’t know if anybody said it but I always thought that the boy didn’t go to the movie to actually watch a movie. He was clearly mistreated at home so the movie would be a place to just hang out. It was very cheap at the time. On top of that the police interrogated him next to a dead body which is insane. The dad was a violent man, but they focused only on the kid. Both the police and the lawyer didn’t do their job properly. We’ll never know if he is guilty and I love that the movie didn’t give us a clear answer.
A movie that can take place in one room and keep you on edge for over a hour is really something.
You have trouble concentrating on a story for more than 1 hour???
this is pretty terrible compared to superior remake...
When I was a kid lotsa movies and some TVseries were still in BnW. BnW TVs were still being made when I was a boy...
Number 7 irritated the most.
This reaction caused me to subscribe to your channel. Great reaction. Great insights. Liked, subscribed, turned on notifications! Big thumbs up.👍👍
Try Murder in the Orient express, the film of the 70', is a classic of detective films
I kinda like the old guy who first changed to not guilty. When he explained how he understood the old man that testified. It was a touching moment, almost an explanation of himself. Empathy of someone who is not much different than, many other old men.
This movie is absolutely for everyone. It’s the prime example of a tight screenplay.
It’s great, I enjoyed it
You bring a unique perspective to these movies.
I've only watched a few of your reactions as I've only recently discovered your channel. You may have already watched these two recommendations, both older movies:
"Cool Hand Luke" - this is another prison movie.
"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" - this movie actually led to changes in how mental health hospitals were run in the USA.
B&W suggestions. The Philadelphia Story, To Kill a Mockingbird and Casablanca
Today there's no mandatory death penalty, no all male jury and no smoking. But you can have all the air conditioning that's available.
Progress.
P.S.- Bisscute, I used to hear: "I brought you into this world and I can take you back out".
Wow a classic film, excelent choice Miss Bisscute💓love your reaction as usual.
Juror #13 was my favorite, she never ceases to impress
My mother would say, "I brought you into this world and I can take you out."
Although in 1957 women were allowed to serve on federal juries, it wasn't until 1973 that women were allowed to serve on state juries in all 50 states.
And one angry reactor 😂😂😂 you always on point
One of the best movies. Gives me goosebumps every time. All great actors. Nothing fancy. Love the black and white, makes it art.
it cant be one of best if its own remake is superior to it
@@divacroft1034 i saw the remake. Didn't like it at all. Something iconic, you can't make it better.
@@stevedotwood you either dont speak russian and did not understood anything or you simply delusional then...
I watched this for the first time at the weekend just gone. Then I also watched an older version of this story, which I believe was a live televised theatrical broadcast of this same story. A couple of the men in this movie were in the older televised version too. It's interesting how they seem to be able dissect the human condition better back then than we seem to be able to today.
"Director Sidney Lumet had the actors in "Twelve Angry Men" (1957) all stay in the same room for several hours on end and do their lines over and over without filming them. This was to give them a real taste of what it would be like to be cooped up in a room with the same people.
Henry Fonda hired Sidney Lumet to direct,because he had extensive experience in television and had a reputation for staying on schedule and within budget. Because the film failed to make a profit, Fonda never received his deferred salary. Despite this setback, he always regarded this film as one of the three best he ever made. The others being "The Grapes of Wrath" (1940) and "The Ox-Bow Incident" (1942).
At the beginning of the film, the cameras are all positioned above eye level and mounted with wide-angle lenses to give the appearance of greater distance between the subjects. As the film progresses the cameras slip down to eye level. By the end of the film, nearly all of it is shot below eye level, in close-up and with telephoto lenses to increase the encroaching sense of claustrophobia.
The jurors' entrance into the jury room is filmed in an overhead establishing shot, and the shots become progressively lower and tighter throughout the film, until the verdict is reached. For the closing shot of the jurors leaving the courthouse, they are again filmed from a wide, overhead angle. Lumet claimed that the final shot was filmed through with the widest lens used in the picture, emphasizing the sense of release from the jury room."
I am sure its been suggested already but if not consider the movie runaway jury. Two of Americas many great actors Gene Hackman, and Dustin Hoffman are in it along with a few other well known ones early in their careers. John Cusack and Rachel Weisz
You will not regret watching more Henry Fonda
This is my personal pick for ghe greatest movie of all time. It is perfect in every way
In America Jury selection is completely random. Basically, you just have to be an American citizen without a criminal record. Before the trial the lawyers ask questions of the penitential jurors to get them off the jury.
A basic tenet of the jury trial system is that it's better for 10 guilty people to go free than for one innocent person to be convicted. Unfortunately, it hasn't been followed in practice, especially in certain areas.
@BissFlix John Fiedler is from The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, his character name is piglet
Biss: "Twelve angry men and an angry reactor" 😂
So a classic movie that's like 50% court room drama is A Few Good Men. Directed by Rob Reiner (Spinal Tap), with Demi Moore (St Elmo's Fire), Jack Nicholson (Batman), and Tom Cruise (Tropic Thunder). It's worth a review watch!
One of my favorites from this era is... The Day the Earth Stood Still... Remake was entertaining but original was fantastic!
Watch "Psycho." The foreman plays a detective in it.
Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me .
I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
@32:39 _Here's how. Underhanded._
Yes *underhanded.* This means the alleged murder weapon is brought into doubt. It is shown now that the *murder weapon is impossible to have been a switchblade because of the stab wound downward angle.* They just found this switch blade lying downstairs clean of any blood declaring it the murder weapon because they found no other as just clutching for straws: A weak case with no murder weapon yet.
The foreman juror is in Psycho, another B/W movie that is a must review. It’s a Hitchcock masterpiece.
David Hill: This just reminds us that ( then as now) none of us have “a monopoly on the truth” - bigotry -rigid thinking- and quick judgements abound in the film as they do for us now. Human nature doesn’t seem to have changed one jot! I like your take on all of this - the sheep syndrome - lack of courage and anonymised polling - group pressure and bullying!
29:26 In the US, we have a similar saying, "I brought you in to this world, I can take you out."
32:58 You usually don't get disqualified from a jury unless it comes out that you have a strong opinion, or an affiliation, that could color your judgment of the case. Even so, it might not come up unless a lawyer thinks to ask about it during jury selection.
I love this movie. There are many great classic films that I hope you watch. Thanks!
Enjoyed your reaction. This is one of my favorite movies of all-time. There is a remake of it, as well, if you decide to check that out. Love your accent, by the way.
