染雾Reflection on "12 Angry Men" - Part One
"12 Angry Men" is a gripping courtroom drama that explores the power of persuasion and the importance of justice. Directed by Sidney Lumet, the film is based on a play by Reginald Rose and features an all-male cast. After watching this thought-provoking movie, I was left with a multitude of emotions and a renewed appreciation for the justice system.
The film centers around the deliberation of twelve jurors in a murder trial. Initially, it appears to be an open-and-shut case, with overwhelming evidence pointing towards the defendant's guilt. However, as the jurors engage in intense discussions, doubts start to arise, and the true nature of justice is brought into question.
One aspect of the film that struck me was the diversity of the jurors. Each character represented a different background and perspective, leading to conflicting opinions and heated debates. This diversity highlighted the complexities of human nature and the biases that can influence decision-making. It made me realize the importance of considering multiple viewpoints and questioning our own preconceived notions.
Moreover, the film brilliantly portrayed the power of persuasion. Juror number eight, played by Henry Fonda, serves as the voice of reason and challenges the group's initial consensus. Through his calm and logical arguments, he gradually convinces his fellow jurors to re-evaluate the evidence and question their assumptions. This reminded me of the importance of critical thinking and the impact that one person can have on a group.
Furthermore, "12 Angry Men" shed light on the flaws and limitations of the justice system. The film exposed the dangers of a rushed decision and the potential consequences of unchecked biases. It made me question how often we may rush to judgment in our own lives and the importance of taking the time to carefully consider the evidence.
In conclusion, "12 Angry Men" is an exceptional film that delves deep into the complexities of the justice system. Through its compelling storyline and remarkable performances, it raises important questions about the nature of justice, the power of persuasion, and the flaws of the human mind. After watching this film, I was left with a renewed sense of the importance of critical thinking and the need to question our own biases. It serves as a powerful reminder that justice is not always black and white, but rather a nuanced and intricate concept that requires careful deliberation.
Reflection on "12 Angry Men" - Part Two
"12 Angry Men" is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with audiences due to its powerful storytelling and compelling characters. Directed by Sidney Lumet and based on a play by Reginald Rose, the film explores themes of justice, prejudice, and the power of human connection. After watching this thought-provoking movie, I was left with a renewed appreciation for the complexities of the human mind and the importance of empathy.
One of the most striking aspects of the film is its exploration of prejudice and bias. The jurors' initial assumptions about the defendant, based on his race and social background, cloud their judgment and influence their decision-making process. This reminded me of the dangers of prejudice in our own lives and the importance of recognizing and challenging our own biases.
Furthermore, "12 Angry Men" highlights the power of human connection and empathy. As the jurors engage in intense debates, they gradually begin to understand and empathize with one another. Through genuine dialogue and open-mindedness, they are able to transcend their differences and work towards a fair and just verdict. This reminded me of the importance of listening to others and seeking to understand their perspectives, even when we disagree.
The film also raises important questions about the nature of justice. It challenges the notion of a binary right or wrong and instead presents a nuanced and complex view of justice. The jurors' evolving opinions and the changing dynamics within the room showcase the intricacies of the justice system and the importance of careful deliberation.
Moreover, the performances in "12 Angry Men" are nothing short of extraordinary. Each actor brings their character to life, embodying their unique personality and contributing to the overall tension and suspense of the film. The ensemble cast creates a palpable energy that draws the viewer into the intense deliberation process.
In conclusion, "12 Angry Men" is a thought-provoking film that explores themes of justice, prejudice, and the power of human connection. Through its compelling storytelling and remarkable performances, it challenges us to question our own biases and re-evaluate our understanding of justice. After watching this film, I was left with a renewed sense of the importance of empathy and open-mindedness in our pursuit of a fair and just society. It serves as a powerful reminder that justice is a complex and multifaceted concept that requires careful consideration and a willingness to challenge our own assumptions.

"12 angry men", epee no front, delicate work
About the film itself
Of all the movies I've seen, "12 fury" is not my favorite top ten, but it's definitely the most boring I've ever seen in the top 10. The whole film is only one scene, 12 men, 1.5 hours of dialogue, or a black and white film. However, it is cattle, cattle cattle, with the most boring way, about the most exciting story.
The whole film is about a murder trial. A bad boy was charged with the murder of his father, hear the voice of the old man across the street downstairs, witnessed the process of women's murder knife, unconvincing alibi, seems to have been placed in the electric chair in front of the child will be. 12 members of the jury will determine the child's life and death, but they have to make a unified ruling, the results can be effective. At the beginning of the film, 11 people think that the child is guilty, only one out of respect for life, that the case pending. After 1.5 hours of hard work, all the evidence is classified as "reasonable doubt", that is to say, there is a reason why it cannot be fully established. The boy was acquitted.
The story itself does not have any complicated place, neither brain nor burning suspense. However, the film, there is a kind of good. This is a typical confined space film, but there is no usually confined space film repression. The plot is fascinating, as if an invisible hand, grabbed in the viewer's mind, to promote the development of the plot. Then the hand is hidden very deep, you can only cast a tepid performance, and the degree of relaxation rhythm to feel it. It is difficult to point out that it is in which point, the plot, so that the merits of a step forward. It makes a "mission impossible" completed, but does not show abrupt. Like warm boiled frog, unconsciously, has been the director of the road.
On the confined space of the film, you can take the "12 angry Han" and "sniper phone booth" to do a comparison.
The latter is my personal narrow viewing experience, in recent years considered very good confined space film. It is more intense than the "12 angry Han", more depressed, more popular. However, the latter of the wonderful, is the process of viewing the obvious exciting, the director deliberately for the tension (of course, it is not easy). It will be the hero and the audience, and placed under the gun, like a gun under the deer hunter. Every thought, every action, will determine your life and death. So it's hot, hormones are always high.
The former is different, the director will be shot, placed on the spectator's point of view, and without any emotional color. Group play is also very difficult to bring the audience into the sense. This kind of calm angle of view, can let a person look at the whole process
more calmly. The former is like the slalom, the latter is watching the scenery is better, but also the reader's taste.
About humanity
The director cut the case in the form of a jury, but also brought another narrative convenience, no matter what kind of decisions made by the 12 angry men, will not have any impact on their own, they are bystanders. Moreover, the restriction of 12 people, a person's decision, the role of both large and small. This is like 100 thousand people pulling the hair of a person, everyone will think, he pulled out a hair of others will produce what kind of impact on the people, but when tenth million inpiduals pulled over the last hair, who is responsible for this thing? The inpidual in the collective judgment, are more likely to get a sense of security even moral, ah q would say, I feel the monk can not be touched? As a result, the only thing that can restrain the 12 anger is the moral of the inpidual, respect for life, the fear of the law, and the American dream of American pride. However, it is for the respect of other people's lives, the value of the personal status of citizens, can better reflect the reason why the "social man" noble.
On Jurisprudence
11:1, does not represent the overwhelming victory, the minority to the majority, also did not see so reasonable. Let a few people speak freely, is a fair basis.
十二怒汉观后感英文版 篇四
"The twelve fury", a black and white film that was shot in the 50s of the last century, still holds the top spot in the list of legal films. The filming of the film is now still seems to be very good or even fresh, a jury of twelve people to discuss the scene occupies the vast majority of the film. The basic circumstances of the case is almost a convicted juvenile patricide after the trial requires twelve man jury made unanimous verdict. Finally, after a long and bitter debate, the kind of people in the aura of human nature under the leadership of the hero to the boy to freedom.
A movie is great, it must be that it allows everyone to find their own interpretation and indirect exposure to real life. What does the film say? The responsibility of the rights and obligations of unity, American judicial system, "would rather let ten thousand can not kill the wrong one" judicial policy on human, fine, deep dig of character psychology analysis, inference of life precious goodness of life, respect, in the face of adversity to find a breakthrough in the actual combat skills, logical reasoning method and so on. Among them, my most shocking is the jury in the system of human feelings and legal justice in the game between the precise performance of the game.
First of all, from the significance of the establishment of the jury system. As everyone knows, the jury system is a more common in the countries of Anglo American law system for the realization of democracy and set up the court ruling, but in this case is obviously that consisting of 6-12 people, a case of a group, decide whether the defendant guilty of petty jury. The task of the jury is to find the truth, to seek the defendant's heart, to judge whether the law is fair, and to fight against the dictatorship and oppression of the government. Judging from the case, twelve different personalities, different origins of the jury finally completed this sacred mission, although the process is full of hardships and disputes, although meager pay.
Obviously, the jury system establishment greatly to the "people" will have reflected the way, representative of the first throw to the "people" problems, from the set goal, one of the ways of expression also embody the will of the consciousness of law. This movie is a result to the satisfaction of all, "people's democracy" successful practice, worthy of praise.
It can be said that this kind of non professional, only the simple way to judge the feelings of law to a certain extent reflects the demographic characteristics and values of a society, naturally has a natural rationality and institutional affinity. This kind of justice can make the majority of the people in this society to be convinced, and not like the law of the general cold ruthless, the decision was also less likely to be overturned. This is also the system from the Anglo Saxon era has been widely used and today there are still many reference reasons.
The next step is to discuss whether the justice based on human judgment is the justice required on the legal balance.
In the movie "Twelve Angry Men", each juror all have some worry, anxious to help their own work and entertainment, because of some emotional problems naturally to the case of the boy off, some because of hot weather to escape from the narrow discussion room...... All these practical problems are unable to avoid or even to be taken into account when the jury system is set up. But this is real life. As the most common people, the jury will be influenced by all kinds of personal and environmental factors.
A great movie is that it takes all kinds of factors affecting the justice of Law -- or clear or vague to show in front of the audience, the audience from the heart to feel, if oneself is in jury, it is very difficult to guarantee that complete justice. Just one example, in seemingly irrefutable evidence, even lawyers are too lazy to defend for the boy, the judge is also a lazy way, that will make everyone believe: the child First impressions are strongest had killed his father and have to pay the price to be sent to the chair in the end has not yet started life. That is why there is a big gap between 11 and 1, which is likely to have an impact on the environment.
It is a little question although it is difficult to have a keen insight into matters but people-oriented "actor has been discussed by expanding, finally let more and more jurors tend to believe that the boy innocence. But this calm person in reality is very rare, if we depend on every case in each group the jury can have a "hero" to calm to control, it is not realistic! As one of the judges in the film said to himself, "it's a little bit of a heart attack" if it's a long time to change into another jury. Just imagine, as a result, the jury system has become a kind of terrible, if the jury random selection will lead to two completely different results for the case even for a young life and death, let the life in the legal system of the people and how to maintain adequate sense of security and justice of law faith?
So I think that any system has its own defects, the rationality of its existence and its inevitable, certainly not in personal feelings or political stance over highly or completely system, the disadvantages and system optimization is the right path of human progress. It may also be a more than half an hour to convey the meaning of the film more far-reaching.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that the opening and the end of the film is very interesting, with the film language
