1. Herd mentality, a cowardly person in stark contrast to a juror who speaks his opinion loudly and forcefully, I think of herd mentality when I see him. I don't have the courage to stand on the opposite side, I'm afraid of quarreling, and I'm afraid to fight against the strong. (Watching a movie can't help but take a seat

2. You need to provide a basis for your own judgment. Still the cowardly juror when taking turns speaking. "its hard to put it into word" - "I just feel this way, it's just that words are hard to express..." I'm afraid someone will say things like this when interacting with people. In other words, there is no way to communicate with such a person. Especially in formal occasions, the purpose of everyone sitting down for a meeting is to exchange views and convince each other with reasons, and there is no way to communicate with those who rely on feelings. What's more, it's a matter of life and death, and the death penalty is just because I think he deserves to die?

3. Someone will never listen to you.

4. Stereotypes, its always difficult to keep personal prejudice out of things like this. prejudice always absucres the truth. Before these two lines appeared, the words "stereotype" appeared in my mind. Especially in times of emotional stress, those biases will always affect rational judgment

5. The old man who has done nothing knows the same kind the best. The jurors point out witnesses to testify in court, just hoping that someone will listen to his speech "thats a very sad thing to mean nothing" People who do not have a sense of existence are eager to find a sense of existence...

6. In the middle of the way, a juror said that he wanted to end in haste, because tired.

7. The funniest is the juror who sticks to the guilty vote. Pretend to be calm and rational from the start. "i have no personal feeling" The more you emphasize your fairness, the more suspicious you are. In the middle, it was revealed that he and his son had not seen each other for two years, but he carried the photo with him. When everyone discussed, he stared at the photo for a long time. After that, he became more and more irritable. In fact, he could not judge with a fair attitude. Kids are his weakness, he paranoid that kids are malicious and will work your heart out. I can kind of understand his anger, or that those roars are for a reason, but his fight with his son also shows his sadist tendencies.

8. Except for the architects who carried the audience, the second-to-last juror who was persuaded most admired the sentence because i have a reasonable daubt.

    【A+】Beyond all textbook-like screenwriters, 12 protagonists have splendid performances, and a director who is so awesome at the beginning to direct the tube. Together, they have created one of the greatest movies in film history. Great old movies don't care about the passage of time at all. Tribute to the greatest director, greatest actor, and greatest screenwriter!

    From the random expressions at the beginning, to the intense discussion of conflicts of views, to the reversal of the ending, the existence of each character has been affirmed, and the changes in their views are all reasonable and reasonable. It is simple and neat, without a trace of redundancy showing the spirit of American justice. Compared with the "The Outsider" I watched a few days ago, this is the democratic system I yearn for
