REVIEW MOVIE
12 ANGRY MAN

This film tells the story of eleven jurors who are convinced that a young man is guilty
in the murder case they are facing. Through discussions and arguments by the jury in the film,
it was realized that the evidence presented was not strong enough to prove the guilt of
fraud.This film is a gripping courtroom drama that delves deep into the complexities of human
nature and the flaws of the justice system. The tension escalates brilliantly as twelve jurors
debate the fate of a young man accused of murder, revealing prejudices, biases, and the power
of persuasion. With stellar performances and sharp dialogue, it's a timeless exploration of
justice, morality, and the power of doubt. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the film and found it
to be a powerful commentary on the flaws and strengths of the judicial system.

The literary from this film is heat serves as a motif that emphasizes the mounting
tension and anger in the jury room. From the beginning, the jurors complain about the
sweltering heat, noting that it’s the hottest day of the year. The intensity of the setting parallels
the intensity of the task ahead of them: their deliberation will determine whether a boy lives or
dies. The jurors attempt to get the fan to work but fail, just as they initially fail to agree upon a
verdict, their discussion instead dissolving into shouting and arguments. The twelve men must
stay in the hot room and face their increasingly heated emotions until they reach a consensus;
cooler heads must prevail in order for them to reach a determination.

The dramatic from this film Twelve Angry Men', is constructed as an enthralling and
dramatic play through Rose's use of construction techniques. The anonymity of the jurors and
use of juror numbers allows for the men to represent diverse aspects in which create society
and leaves the interpretation of the characters open to the audience. Characters in the play are
presented through juxtaposition, which creates dramatic tension. Rose engages the audience
through his connection in the play of the ideal of the melting pot of society in the 1950s and
the climate of fear and suspicion of communism.

The cinematic from this film is video essay states that high angles combined with wide
shots give Twelve Angry Men a certain objectivity, while low angles combined with close-ups
ramp up the tension by evoking senses of pressure and claustrophobia. So, as you'll see in the
film, the beginning of the twelve jurors' deliberation is mostly high/eye-level angles with
wide/medium shots, but as tension mounts as more and more jurors begin to vote "not guilty",
you'll see more low angles and close-ups. For example, when Juror 3 gets into a heated
argument, the camera zooms in on his face, capturing his anger and frustration, intensifying the
scene's tension.

Overall, “Twelve Angry Men” is a film that is very worth watching. This film is a
priceless work of art, strong story, interesting camerawork and stunning acting. This film is not
only entertaining, but also provides an important moral message about the importance of
making decisions carefully and with careful consideration.
