12 Angry Men (1957)

This film was probably one of the best films I have seen in a long time. It was exiting and when we had to stop it half way through I wanted to cry because i wanted, no I needed to watch the rest. Also, when it ended i wanted to clap , as if I was watching a play.

I have never liked films that do not have a change of room/atmosphere, until I saw this. Because of this, the script and the actors had to be amazing ... and they were. The script was so well developed, which made it feel like it was a real jury, in a real jury room.

As for the characters, they were abseloutely amazing. Each individual character had a very unique personality and a completely different opinion. Joseph Sweeney , who portrayed a member of the jury, very much reminded me of William Hartnell when he played the part of the Doctor. Their personalities and the way they express their opinions are very similar. Also, they look quite alike.

When I first heard that we would be watching a black and white film about court from 1957, I was very tempted to get up and leave because i have never been particularly interested in films that do not have a bit of action or a whimsical setting. But 12 angry men has definately changed my opinion and i will be watching more films like this very soon.

There was i few things that i would have added or changed about the film, but overall it was surprisingly entertaining. It had comedy, it had sympathy and it had a great ammount of judgement.

Overall, as you can tell, i loved this film because it included every aspect that a good film should have. I would definately recomend this film to anyone and everyone, even if they do not find an interest because i know that their opinion will soon be changed.
