Twelve Angry Men is a wonderful film that dramatizes the "imperfections" inherent in the American jury system. Simultaneously‚ it delivers the powerful message that because we are human beings and not machines‚ it is in the nature of things that justice demands such a system. At the outset‚ eleven jurors vote in favor of convicting the accused without even discussing a single shred of the evidence presented at trial. Only one brave juror refuses to vote. He openly admits that he does not know

Twelve Angry Men This was a meeting of 12 jurors to deliberate the fate of an eighteen year old boy. The meeting was more of a verbal structure. The jury foreman was the team leader of the meeting. I feel as though the beginning of the meeting started strong with his decision of voting for guilty or innocence that lead to a hung jury. There was no planning really or discussing the trial at the beginning‚ and the jurors did not work together in a timely manner. The presentation of evidence

11th juror 11th juror is a watchmaker and he’s German. Because he’s a watchmaker‚ he has attention to fine detail and is precise. He sticks to the facts and bases the evidence on facts. He’s one who has been taking notes throughout the whole case. On page 29‚ he says‚ “Pardon me‚ but I have made some notes here” and “I have been listening very closely” so that shows how much attention he pays and how he sticks to the facts. He has received prejudice and stereotyping for being German and is bullied

Characterization plays a major part in most movies‚ this is what gives the audience insights into a characters personality. The film 12 Angry Men relies more heavily on the use of characterization than any other movie I can think of. Due to the lack of special effects and because the film takes place almost entirely in a small jury room the development of characters was key. This star studded cast of actors included such names as: Henry Fonda‚ Lee J. Cobb‚ and Ed Begley‚ even the guy

12 Angry Men 1. The most effective critical thinker in 12 Angry Men is Henry Fonda’s character‚ Davis or Juror number eight. Davis really supported and stood by all of his decisions and examined the evidence thoroughly. He not only looked at the situation through his eyes‚ but also through the young boy’s and witnesses spectrums. Davis was in no hurry to decide‚ which gave him time to really sit down and weigh out all the options and proof or non-proofs. He also did his own research by going

the movie of 12 angry men was especially juror number 8 and the old man juror 9‚ also juror number 6. The reason i liked juror number 8 is because‚ juror 8 didn’t agree guilty right away just like the other jurors‚ number 8 really wanted to explain why everyone voted guilty. He didn’t right away think that the kid was really a murderer‚because of the father as the court had said that the father was abusive and that the kid was everywhere as an orphan but so long to be beaten‚ number 8 thought after
