12 Angry Men

One of the oldest (non-animated) movies I've watched. It looks easy, and old age is almost not felt. It's just 12 men in a room: in '57, both men and rooms were visually not much different from today's ones.
The film is interesting. The main emphasis is on emotions, but the detective component is also given enough attention. I like how the film shows that not everything is what it seems at first glance.

I really liked the movie. Everything is very clear, nothing superfluous. It's quite dynamic for a film of the last century.
Interestingly, the aspects that would now be called the agenda are shown. The accused is a migrant from the slums and one of the jurors considers him guilty more because of the negativity towards such people, rather than because of the facts.

It was excellent! After all, no special effects are needed for a great movie, just the depth of the plot and the ability of the actors to play are enough.

When asked about the Top 5 favorite movies, I don't immediately remember this movie. Contemporary films are more memorable. But as soon as I start digging into the halls of my memory, many good films come out that I have already watched. When I think about it, I always compare the pros and cons of cinema, whether the film is worthy of entering my personal Top 5. And when it comes to 12 angry men, I immediately include him in the list without even thinking. He's excellent. There is no doubt why he cannot be excluded from the list. And over time, the film looks better and better. And if you want to watch a movie about happiness, I would recommend this movie. If you want to watch a movie about humanity and competence. I recommend this movie.
If you want to watch a movie with good acting and directing, this movie is what you need.
A detective? Instructions for writing a script? A couple of characters? Dialogues? It's all there

Well, now it's clear which film was subsequently shot dozens of remakes, a great movie

It's a good movie, it looks good now (yes, there's nothing outdated there). The only thing was that the problem with his son was discussed very deliberately at the beginning of the film, it immediately became clear how it would end.

12 angry men.

Although other names could be suggested, for example - "11 men are angry at one man", "pereobuvochnaya", "sweating sprats in a jar " etc.

The black and white atmosphere does its job. You literally become the thirteenth participant in the process, only you don't sweat and uncles in rumpled shirts don't shout at you.

This is a movie that would not be shown on Netflix today. There are no women or African Americans here. Given the current trends, it was difficult to get used to it at first, but then the dialogues captured all your attention. Dialogues... There are very juicy conversations between the participants, both during the discussion and during the tie-break. Every sentence, every word, falls into the frying pan of the plot and, beautifully fried, gives us a nice dish at the exit, which you listen to more than you eat. But without good actors and delicious dialogues, they can lose touch with the tongue papillae. But don't worry! The actors here are very good. Literally everything. You believe everyone who thinks the kid is guilty or not. It's a very good, emotional swing.

So friends, if your party is not like this, don't even think about inviting me. After all, what could be better than to gather in good company, shout, argue, argue, sweat, and at the same time decide the fate of an eighteen-year-old kid. Classic.

A good conversational movie showing how only one person is able to save another person, not obeying the opinion of the crowd, but is able to convince this crowd.
The moral of the film is that you always need to have your own opinion based on real facts and stand by it until the very end if it can really save someone's fate.

...Blah blah blah...has anyone noticed that there is not a single female role in this film...;) fill the Guinness Book of Records!!!;)

A genius only needs one location and not a single showman to create a real movie.
We need more geniuses!
