I'm back again to watch a film that's become a habit of mine for nostalgia with anything I love. Of all the films I've seen, there are only three that I frequently rewatch: Kung Fu Panda, Good Father, and one more, 12 Angry Men.
I don't know what possessed me to finally watch it for the 15th time. I really miss films that are big on ideas and different from the rest. If you like this film, it's highly likely to be worth a rewatch because, as mentioned, the story is very eccentric and will truly move you.
This isn't a film that's visually strong, as you can see, it's still in black and white, and there aren't any handsome or beautiful young people in the frame. They're just 12 middle-aged men communicating with each other over two words: guilt or not guilt.
If you're looking for an exciting film, unexpected plot twists, romance, or comedy, this film doesn't deliver. But from what I've observed and learned, it will amaze you with how it convinces someone simply by creating a new perspective.
How can one man change the perspective of 11 others when they're faced with a predictable crime and blame one person because they "should" be punished? But it turns out that considering other perspectives and not immediately deciding on a suspect requires a clear mind and no sentimentality. From this film, I've come to believe that this is how all jurors should be.
The power of deduction and convincing someone is at its most logical best, and that's why I love this film and all its story. I think this is one of the films that was cheap in terms of production budget, but very rich in meaning and brilliant ideas for its time.
Call me Isdarmady, sometimes Mady, Putra or anything you want. I have a pretty long name but call me very nicely. There are many things I like, especially hydroponics and coffee, sometimes I also like traveling and eating whatever I want. Life should be like that, there must be many things you like so you can live well. Of course, what you want is a dream, so, when you have a dream then what you have to do is to achieve that dream, don't just let it be a dream.
There are many things I tell on my Blog, I hope you like it. Never hesitate to leave a comment, because your comments mean so much to keep me moving forward.

This is definetely a short post, you should definetely aim to detail it more.
However I still like it because this is one of my favorite movies 🤣
A classic case of a movie carried by the script, dialogues and raw ideas. Everyone should watch it!
is this an old movie?
muy buen post
very good post
I like the fact that you have emphasized the power of perspective in 12 Angry Men. The fact that this classic has remained a hit is apparent in your review and demonstrates that logic and reasoning can dominate assumptions and prejudice. Classically great story telling that makes one think.
