Immortal masterpiece!

This is the second time I've written a movie review. When I watched the movie, the front made me feel a little boring, and it was all lines. But the latter unfolded layer by layer, bit by bit, which caused me to think a lot. I think this is an immortal masterpiece!

1. different

All the others think he's guilty, and if I think he's guilty, this discussion doesn't need to go on, but I don't have a solid understanding of the whole case, and I can't make a hasty decision, and it's directly related to an 18-year-old Teenage life.

This is probably what Judge 8 had in mind when he started.

This is a different decision, and it is also a respect for life.

2. Rational

Possibility is possible, even if it is only one in a million possible, it cannot be called impossible.

How many decisions we usually make, how many words we are not 100% sure about, but we say words like "certain" and "impossible"... It's probably become a habit for a lot of people because most of the time it turns out they're right, but only "mostly", and it's also possible that they've never encountered a time when they're wrong.

This habit is placed on a person's life and death decision, and it also makes them feel that they are right. But this is the life and death of a person. When we analyze it more rationally, we will realize that our thoughts are not 100% rational.

Habits can change a person, and irrational habits can affect the judgment of our life choices.

3. Listen

When what you say is completely illogical, no arguments, and pure blood, no one will really be persuaded by you.

When others say, we have to listen and think about whether our words and deeds are correct and persuasive. When others (Review No. 3) have the same opinion as myself (Review No. 2), I will echo what others say. Judge No. 2 fought alone and asked him to tell his reasons. He couldn't tell. He was just coaxing and yelling. No one interrupted him.

4. Calm thinking

The background is a hot afternoon, after five o’clock, the hunger and heat are full, and it is even more difficult to calm down. Judge No. 7 is a typical example.

When five people were persuaded, it was six to six. I believe that the person in front of him hardly listened to it. He still wanted to end it early, end the heat, end the hunger, end this debate, and rush to do what he likes thing.

He changed his vote.

"Say your reasons!" He couldn't tell, his heart wasn't on this debate, he couldn't calm down and think about it, and others followed suit.

Some of these 12 people may be people around us or ourselves. When we see them, we can give ourselves some inspiration, some reflection, and some changes. This is one of the meanings of the film.

    [A+] An extremely powerful masterpiece, from the director's script to the actors are impeccable. It is difficult for a small pattern to create conflict itself, so most of the same themes choose to borrow location; and except for the three scenes at the beginning and the end of the film, there is no location in the whole film, and it all takes place in a small room, but it creates such a strong dramatic conflict. is a miracle. The whole film is very coherent, coherent, fast-paced, but also knows to relax the audience during the intermission at the appropriate time, and constantly enrich the characters during the break, and finally all the details of the whole film are impeccable. Unlike conventional suspense films, perhaps this film cannot be called a suspense film - the outcome of the case is not important, the case itself is the point. There is a strong collision between different people and different values. There is no truth. What they seek is only "possibility". Conscience was stifled by boredom at first, but it was constantly awakened in the collision, and everyone slowly took up their responsibility for a strange life.
