The film’s court scenes have a neat rhythm, compact structure, and serious themes. They are not dull at all because of the limitations of the story scene. Many actors have wonderful performances. It makes a strong story about the pros and cons of the jury system. Dramatic and attractive.
The scenes of the film are strangely monotonous-there is only one scene in the whole film, which can set a Guinness World Record. This is a scene where all the audience can watch for an hour and a half. It is a jury lounge, and the small toilet next to it will not exceed 40 square meters. The director used his magical artistic expression to show intriguing and touching stories in this house of less than 40 square meters.
"Twelve Angry Men" is usually considered the pinnacle of director Sidney Lumet, and I think the script of the film is the key to its excellence. The screenwriter Reginald Rose put forward a great proposition in a meticulous, rational, and powerful play: In a democratic society, how should people exercise their power? Hidden behind is a higher level of philosophical thinking: in a difficult environment, we should still try to maintain respect for life. Ross's script is full of characters and conflicts of suspense. At first it was a trickle, the middle part was rough, and finally the dramatic power of overwhelmingly overwhelmingly impacted the audience half a century later.
