12 Angry Men






Last Thursday we watched the 12 Angry Men. It was a 1950s movie that talks about 12 jury deciding on whether if the 18 year old boy who they thought that he killed his own father have the death penalty. All the juries except for one voted that the boy should have the death penalty . The 8th jury voted that the boy should not have the death penalty and stated all the evidences that supported it. There was one jury who was highly against the 8th jury. After some persuasion they voted again and found out there was 2 people that voted that the boy should bot have the death penalty. From here it's starting to get more interesting. The 8th jury acted the crime scene and found out that the time taken to escape was far longer so the vote now was 3 guilty and 9 not guilty. Jury 10 was annoying and state that the boy was guilty, other jury were walking away from him and he said "Listen to me! Listen...!" Jury 4th said “I have. Now sit down and don't open your mouth again.” Jury 9th saw Jury 4th was rubbing his nose and stated that he saw the witness had the exact same mark as Jury 4th on the nose. Jury 8th stated that the lady wears glasses and did not wear her glasses when she saw the crime scene. There was a jury that against him and Jury 9th asked Jury 4th "Do you wear your glasses to sleep?" and he said no. Jury 4th changed his vote to not guilty. Now the vote was 1 guilty and 10 not guilty. The only jury that voted guilty yet said that the boy was guilty and we found out that when he threw the evidences on the table we saw a picture of him and his son. I believed that he doesn't like his son therefore this case reminded him his son or something. The movie at first was kinda boring and I don't get what were they talking about but later in the movie it was more interesting and I got what were they saying. Persuasion could save an innocent person's life :)- in the movie

  2. Hi Bryan. It's a detailed article with quotes from the juror (which is knda fantastic as I can't remember anything like that). However, I think you should split what u write into paragraphs so that it is easier for one to read.
