The 12 Angry Men Movie Review

Although the film does not include the trial itself, the tone of the judge which is perfunctory indicates that the verdict of the young boy has been concluded. At the end of the meeting, the 12 jurors do not decide whether the accused is guilty or innocent because the movie is about the jurors’ reasonable doubt about his guilt. Although the movie was produced during the black and white color era, it is one of the best films an aspect brought out by the use of various literature aspects by the director Sidney Lumet. The movie depicts the requirements of the constitution that provides defendants a fair trial and assumption of the fact that they are innocent. This fact of the film indicates the ethos of the author as used in the drama which tries to convince the audience about his credibility or ethical appeal.

The story of the drama is as well developed as a result of the prejudice that each character holds. Most of the juror is of the opinion that the accused is guilty because he comes from a slum. The bias is that people from the slums are heartless and for them, it is not a big deal killing another man as indicated by Juror No. 10 Racism is also a significant trait that is manifested in the movie. Despite the fact that the real race of the boy is not identified, it is presumed that he could be an Italian, Arabic, Mexican or Indian. However, although the two situations or elements may be closely related, it doesn’t mean one is as a result of the other (Green, 2017).

Bearing this in mind, we can be able to point out that in the movie about the 12 Angry Men, the opinion on whether the defendant was guilty or innocent was based on correlations and causations. At the begging, jurors who said the teenager was guilty indicated that there was a close relationship between the evidence provided and the murder. For example, the murder weapon was a knife similar to one that the boy had purchased in a store in his neighborhood. Also, the fact that the accused could not recall the name of the film nor the characters after claiming having gone to the movies show the relationship between the situation and the actual murder happening. com/science/blog/2012/jan/06/correlation-causation LIVE TV RESTORATION: Twelve Angry Men - Studio One (Original 1954 Broadcast).
