12 Angry Men is a 1957 American independent[6][7] legal drama film directed by Sidney Lumet in his feature film debut, adapted from a 1954 teleplay of the same name by Reginald Rose.[8][9] The film tells the story of a jury of 12 men as they deliberate the conviction or acquittal of a teenager charged with murder on the basis of reasonable doubt; disagreement and conflict among the jurors forces them to question their morals and values. It stars Henry Fonda (who also produced the film with Reginald Rose), Lee J. Cobb, Ed Begley, E. G. Marshall, and Jack Warden.
12 Angry Men received acclaim from critics, despite a lukewarm box office performance. At the 30th Academy Awards, it was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay. It is regarded by many as one of the greatest films ever made. In 2007, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant".[10] Additionally, it was selected as the second-best courtroom drama ever (after 1962's To Kill a Mockingbird) by the American Film Institute for their AFI's 10 Top 10 list

Noticed that the guy who has the estranged son disrespected the old man yet he wonders why his son disrespects him.
All of the jury actors had prolific careers. Some real heavy hitters in this. Some were already stars and others went on to be stars.
The cast is like a Dream Team.
@@Sirala6 It's the Dirty Dozen.
I love watching people react to this film... listening to the arguments back and forth and realizing that there are valid points on both sides... bringing their own viewpoints into their thought-process. Such a thought-provoking, brilliant script.
The reason it takes place all in one room because it was originally a play.
It was originally a teleplay, not a stage production.
Westinghouse Studio One, Sept. 20, 1954. I think it's available on UA-cam.
@@Jeff_Lichtman Yes.
@@geraldmcboingboing7401 Yes, it is available on UA-cam. A couple of the same actors played their same roles in both.
In the film, they used 3 sized rooms for dramatic effect...tension. Henry Fonda was instrumental in bringing this all-starcast together. Some of the most amazing character actors in history. LeeJCobb...EGMarshall...Ed Begley...Martin Balsam...Jack Klugman...Jack Warden.
This is NOT a movie about a trial. It's about how we let our personal feelings and prejudices fog our perceptions.
My interpretation is that the film is about justice - it's only as good as the people in the system. One juror is just lazy and wants to get to his baseball game. Others are more thoughtful. Even juror #3 who held out to nearly the end was a lot more thoughtful than the baseball fan.
I think it's about our system of justice and the inherent and unavoidable uncertainty we must accept with the presumption of innocence and a jury of imperfect humans.
It's notable that these old mandatory DP laws were ruled unconstitutional. DPs must be given in a separate hearing by a jury with an option for life. NY failed to implement such a mechanism, rendering them effectively a no DP state.
This was director Sidney Lumet's first feature film. He had done work for television prior to this. Some of his other movies include The Pawnbroker, Fail Safe, Serpico, Murder on the Orient Express, Dog Day Afternoon, Network, The Verdict, and Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. Dog Day Afternoon is a favorite of mine.
Lumet began the movie using camera angles above the jurors' heads, and slowly moved it downwards. He also used more close-ups as the movie went on. The result was an increasing feeling of being in a small space.
Did you notice that none of the characters' names were revealed until the very end, when the two jurors introduced themselves to each other on the courthouse steps?
One thing I like about this movie is how the different characters bring their own experience and perspectives into the jury room with them. The old man understood why another old man would testify the way he did. The guy who lived in a slum knew about how switchblades were used in actual fights. The smallest juror who brought up the question of the kid stabbing downward while being so much shorter than his father.
When the bigot finished ranting, the cool-headed juror told him not to open his mouth again. From that point forward, the bigot didn't utter another word. Even when he voted not guilty, he did it by shaking his head. And the look on his face suggested that he knew how wrong he had been, and that he'd been voting to send someone to die who might very well not have done it.
I love that the film doesn’t conclusively tell the audience whether the defendant is guilty or not. Juries don’e typically have such certain evidence. Their task is to judge guilt to a reasonable doubt, not to a certainty.
Love this movie. Many life lessons can be learned by watching it. Henry Fonda(father of Jane and Peter Fonda), Jack Klugman, both legends in the game.
It really is amazing. To take place in basically one room. Ans all dialogue. So many lessons in it. And hits still today. Thanks for picking this and sharing with us.
Awesome movie just rewatched it a few months ago. I remember in high school they showed the movie in class and I loved it back then. It’s a classic
One year in high school the drama department did the play version and the administration had the entire school watch it in shifts during school hours.
One of the few films that is considered perfect in my eyes. The whole movie takes place within 4-5 settings, every character has their own unique arc that just naturally happens, the story only reveals information when relevant, it's beautifully written and nothing feels forced with the pacing of the film. It's the definition of masterpiece.
One of my favorite little details in the movie: The secret hidden ballot was smart because people can be influenced into going with the group since it is our natural instinct to not be the odd person out. The same old man that voted not guilty on the piece of paper was the last one to slowly and reluctantly raise his hand when they did a first public vote while he looked around. It tells me that he had some doubts on the first vote, but he didn't want to be a bother and vote not guilty.
You hit on one of the best points of this movie, you never know if this guy guilty or not. Letting a guilty man go free is a double crime because he got away with it but convicting an innocent man is even worse. Reasonable doubt
Last man who says not guilty, gets me every time, the broken hearted father who masks his sorrow & longing for his son with anger breaks down crying, 😢always gives me a lump in the throat.
He was a bully. I felt nothing for him for finally realizing that he was an asshole.
@@jnagarya519 so you're a bully too then
Fantastic acting on that last monologue.
I love the little bit of acknowledgement that Henry Fonda's character gives him after that of helping him on with his coat. It's such a subtle, gentle thing to do.
@@bigonemaryland Look at the character: he demands the respect of being called "sir" -- and yet he yells at and shouts down those not only younger than he, but also the elderly juror, instead of extending his demand beyond himself.
By his own "testimony" about his son, and admitting all that to others, and acting that way toward them, he has always been a loud-mouthed bully. The one incident in the relative privacy of the jury room, where everyone is anonymous, won't change his character.
I'm old enough to not leave myself vulnerable to bullying, or their various means of manipulation, by sympathizing. Throughout the film he is an asshole; at the end, for a moment, he hides his face to avoid being seen as admitting he was wrong.
I don't know how you deal with bullies, but I've dealt with them throughout my life, and know that they don't change just because they, in one temporary situation with strangers they'll never see again, admitted they were wrong. Typically when called out they revert to playing the victim.
None of that realistic appraisal makes me a bully; rather, it means I've learned not to fall for their manipulations and the traps they set.
Why not call the immigrant out for calling out the racist juror when he responded to the bigot's question about his decency -- "It's the way I was brought up." He was reasonable and decent, but that didn't prevent him calling out the racist.
The writer. Reginald Rose, based it on an experience he had while doing jury duty. He went on to create a great television legal series, The Defenders. It starred E.G. Marshall. You can catch it on UA-cam
I'm old and remember that show from it's original airings. Had no idea of the connection other than that EG Marshall was in both. Thanks for the trivia.

Glad I caught your reaction! Fantastic. Such well written characters. I even like the subtle details like Jurer 8, the first who doesn't raise his hand, being an architect who's into the building blocks of things or Juror 11 being a watchmaker confronting Bjurorv7 who's constantly looking at his watch. Just magnificent.
I appreciate a young man taking the time to watch and analyze a thinking-person's film. Well done!
This movie is a *Masterclass* in the application of critical thinking. I swear everyone eligible for jury duty should see it.
12:50 At this point in the remake you were thinking of, Liam Neeson pulls out his lightsaber and, after some “aggressive negotiations”, takes in a unanimous verdict of 1 to nothing. It was a much shorter movie.
That retractable lightsaber really can be bought in any self-respecting hardware store in any galaxy far, far away. Not rare or unique at all.
I bust out laughing when you said "dese nuts"
Bro, love you takes on these reactions. So intuitive and comical. 👍🏼👍🏼
You deserve at least 100k subs right now sir.
Keep up the good work, we outchea watching!
💪🏼
One of the greatest films of all time. It could be made today because unfortunately, so many of the themes and views still hold true now.
Henry Fonda witnessed a lynching as a child which led to him holding very staunch views on politics and race.
Somewhat of an advocate, it also heavily influenced a lot of his decisions to take on very important roles such as this one.
A very interesting and complicated man. 🤔🇬🇧
The 1997 remake of 12 Angry Men starred Jack Lemmon and George C. Scott. Liam Neeson as you said played Oskar Schindler in Schlindler’s List.
One of my favorites. Haven’t gotten tired of it yet. Lots of big names in the cast.
Thank you for reacting to one of my all time favorite movies. I’m glad you were as impressed with it as I have always been.
Ive been to Chicago and i was in a hotel on the 16th floor i still heard the deafening roar of the Ell train
I haven't seen anybody react to the remake. You should follow up with that one for contrast! I liked them both! Great cast in both!
If you like psychological thrillers, I suggest the Manchurian candidate with Angela Lansbury and the Alfred Hitchcock movie, Rope which was based on a real event
The original Manchurian Candidate is a great film, and very worth watching!
I really enjoyed your reaction. It was so fun watching someone smart with their brain going hard and thinking while watching this movie. This is my favorite movie to watch reactions to. Your comments were great, thanks!
Fonda witnessed a lynching as a boy in Nebraska.
This was arguably the most iconic assembly of actors in any single film. You could never duplicate that today with the same caliber of talent. Check the Wiki of each and you'll understand.
Leaving the defendant's guilt ambiguous was a master stroke. It is totally irrelevant and distracts from the point of the story which, to the best of my understanding, is that perfect justice is impossible in a system built on the principles of presumed innocence and a belief that it's better to free 10 guily than condemn one innocent.
"...six bucks down the drain!" 🗡🤣
EVERY JUROR BRINGS THEIR PERSONAL BAGGAGE INTO JURY ROOM!!!🤔🤔🤔😵😵😵😵
My favorite part of this movie was when that prejudice guy towards the end started using the hateful "they" speech... I love how out of 12 men that were all very angry each for various reasons... Thank God there was only one idiot. And even in the 1950s you can tell the other 11 were disgusted by it
thank you for the reaction
The $5000 in 1957 is worth 53,767.57 in 2023. ;-)
Get your checkbook out. ;-)
The bailiff is wondering where the second knife came from?
That $6.0 knife is worth $67.16 in 2024 (an average steak dinner).
At the end, I believe that's the "angry" juror (Lee J. Cobb) walking slowly down the steps... defeated?
I've been called four time, served twice, once on a civil trial and a criminal trial (hung jury, guilty).
Liam Neeson was five years old when this movie came out. So they didn't take him into consideration for playing a role in it. 😉
Not sure if I specified but I was talking about a remake in the 90s when I was talking 😉
@@Jhyad Oh sorry, my bad! I must have missed hearing that. Yes, there is a bunch of remakes of this movie. Also a German, Indian, Chinese, Russian... one.
The most amazing thing about this film, is it was all filmed in that one room!
GREAT REACTION!! Great movie!
You're letting him slip through our fingers!!
Wow, great reaction. I love the scene at 34:00 is great -- even the camera backs away.
The film is excellent on many levels, but I think the best is that, aside from a brief look at the defendant at the beginning, we know nothing else about the case. All information is conveyed by the jurors. In this way, we the audience, effectively become the jury of the jurors.
So goos to see these wonderful movies rediscovered. I especially enjoy 1940's movies!
And yes Schindler's list is a must!!!!! I've only seen it once because it affected me deeply.
Great movie, and a lot of fun watching you discover it!
I’m curious, has anyone ever noticed besides me, that two of jurors
(2 and 5) were in different features of
“The Odd Couple”!
Movie and TV show.
John Fiedler (juror 2) ‘Vinnie’ movie, and Jack Klugman (juror 5)‘Oscar’, TV.
I ❤ that movie and TV show, for they were both so hysterically funny!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Really enjoyed your thoughts on this, great reaction 😊
G-d, this movie is painfully good. I’m pretty blackpilled about the state of the U.S. justice system (especially with the open corruption on SCOTUS and their transparently biased decisions) but this movie is so convincing and beautiful that I’m bought in. for the whole runtime, I truly believe people can overcome old bigoted ideas they’ve never bothered to examine and stop confusing their emotional reactions with rationality. I wish I believed that all the time haha
Lee J. Cobb playing antagonist...he's the bad guy to Marlon Brando's character in Oscar loaded "ON THE WATERFRONT"👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
One of the best movies EVER!
I think this is one the top 5 best movies ever made.
Great movie, I always wondered about the heavy rain vs baseball game
Thank you for your thoughtful reaction to thos great movie, looking forward to more black and white movie reactions. I hope you get to see Roman Holiday
Henry Fonda key character...he's famous for tons of films, father of Jane Fonda and Peter Fonda, both awarded actors. 😎😎😎😎
Def one of the top 50 movies of all time. I have an MP3 of this to listen while I drive. It really pulls you in because it all happens in one room.
The remake is a stinker. Anatomy of A Murder, Inherit the Wind and To Kill a Mockingbird are three more great classic courtroom films. In fairness, I rate them all above this one as good as it is.
Very insightful review.....thank you....
All the cast members wanted to take a big pay cut, because they really wanted to be in this film.
Actually never heard of this but real
They made great movies back then
Good reaction, cheers😀.
I love this movie, such a great production on a minimum of sets. It is all in the hands of the actors and they do an amazing job!
THANK GOD🙏 for REASONABLE DOUBT!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I think Jack Lemon played the Henry Fonda character, in the remake (1997).
Why can't people express themselves today without consistently using f bombs and other gutter language?
Go to a monastery then gang.
Dude, I watched that Kerry/Ric Flair match when it happened. The Von Erichs were true superstars in WCCW. Their rivalry with the Freebirds was incredible - as good as pro wrestling gets. For as long as I've watched pro wrestling, and watching Kerry in both WCCW and WWF, I never knew he was missing a foot. There was nothing, NOTHING in his work that ever hinted at such a thing. So many tragedies in wrestling. The toll the business takes on one's body is real.
Good reaction! You are good at figuring out mysteries.
Imagine a film where every single character is a actual character. I gave up on Hollywood over a decade ago. I was roughly a further decade and a half too late, haha!
All love to the younger generations that get tuned in to the oldschool greatness. ♥
We all wish we could be like Juror 8.
The remake has Jack Lemmon, George C. Scott, Tony Danza, Ozzie Davis, James Gandolfini, etc. Sorry, no Liam Neeson.
Liam Neeson is in 90's remake. But, original has excellent actors. Another few movies you might enjoy....
"TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD" OSCARS
"THE ACCUSED" OSCARS
"THE FUGITIVE"
"THE VERDICT" OSCARS
"PHILADELPHIA" DENZEL & TOM HANKS (OSCAR)
ALL GREAT FILMS, MUST SEES!!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This was an amazing movie. Great actors. And when it's life or death...it's definitely worth talking about. Great reaction btw😊 👍
Had a good time watchin'. 🤘👍👍
8:05 "Is he....?"
Yes, in fact, he is.
Key question: What does the elderly juror know about what it's like to be elderly?
Please for your own sanity. Don't ever watch the remake. It's awful..
How'd you get so wise, young man? BTW, right before you said that the angry man should just call his son, I was thinking the exact same thing. #greatminds 🙃
Love this movie
You can LEARN a lot from this film!!!🤓
DETAILS...DETAILS...DETAILS. VERY IMPORTANT IN JUDGING MURDER CASE!!!😎
...........-----------********* GREAT FILM and GREAT ACTING ************----------------................
Little different than the OJ case where the jurors went in with all the evidence and still not guilty. That time the actual murderer went free.
Is no one going to bring up the blatant juror misconduct that occurs in the film?
26:39…not even 20 seconds or even 22 seconds.
You were very angry and name calling the characters in this film. Not reasoned and measured.😅😊 wouldn't Want you on my jury 😮
That’s nice
You miss the movies point . They are all , on trial !
Gees I wish you had the opportunity to do a research PhD
A great film, enjoyed your reaction, except the use of the N word.
I wonder how many hundreds of films from the 1930s has this reactor seen? How many hundreds from the '40s? Maybe 300-500, maybe 800 from the '50s? Surely then he'd be qualified to start to vote for a favorite, but probably not 'greatest.'
No I don’t have to see every movie in existence to like one.
think you miss the point
I think you may lack a massive amount of brain cells if you saw any part of the reaction and are still saying this.
WOW!!! What an incredibly powerful movie ruined by an obvious bias... what a shame!!! You are exactly like the people in the room, except you would be letting whoever loose regardless of their guilt. You were one-sided from the get-go. With that said, it shows why you didn't get the point of the movie.
So, I wrote this before the movie was quite over... your statement that "he might have got away with murder, NICE!!" Furthers my idea that you're a pitiful cunt of the highest order!!! What a pathetically depraved thing to say. First reaction I've watched from you, and will most definitely be the last... what a piece of sh-e-it!!!
I was not biased. I actually stated multiple times that if he is guilty then he is guilty. But also that there should be an actual discussion. It seems that went over your head tho.
