 There may be 12 angry men, but this is one good drink. Ooh, that's a hot mug, guys. Hey guys, this is my review for 12 angry men. Know that a lot of you are wanting me to do 12 monkeys. This is a 12, this is not the 12 you were thinking about. When I did this scratch off poster, one of the first movies in the top left hand corner, one that I didn't get to scratch off was 12 angry men. It's a movie that I've wanted to see for four bloody ever. Obviously, that wasn't anything to do today. I sat down and watched it, and I wanted to scratch off that poster. And first off I want to say, I get it. I get why everyone loves this movie. For a film that is essentially shot in one room, it is so captivating. The acting, the writing, the camera work, as simplistic as it is, is so well-entrenched in keeping you engaged in the story. The film starts with the end of the trial and the jury walking back to discuss the case all the while we get a shot of the kid who's been accused of first degree murder. And then what plays out is essentially the discussion of whether the kid is guilty or not. Everyone thinks he's guilty, except for Henry Fonda. As their conversation and the debate builds, we learn more about the case through their dialogue. We learn more about the characters through their dialogue. And we learn more about who they are as men and society as itself through this debate. And we slowly see the side change. This is fantastic character creation. Oddly enough, I'm going to reference Peter Jackson's The Hobbit movie, but the biggest problem I had with that film was you didn't know who the Nine Dwarfs were. You knew who Thorin was, you knew who Balin was. The rest were just kind of there. This movie is able to give you a clear description, a clear characterization, and in-depth moments with each individual juror. And it's an hour and a half long. The film is based off of a play, but it still works so well for the camera. The opening shot of them coming into the room and having the first round of discussions and introductions is a 10-minute single take, but it's so well done. And then there's these moments that happen periodically throughout the film when the arguments and the debates get more and more heated and more and more personal. The camera gets personal and gets tighter in on the characters. It's giving you those moments where you can't breathe because you're waiting for the confrontation to come to an end. And when it cuts to a wide, that is literally you, the audience member, having a breath, having a moment to just kind of take all that in and then getting ready for the next point. This type of camera movement is obviously a well-versed one, a well-used one. It's actually used in Breaking Bad quite a bit. It's so well included into this film. And I, again, can see why so many people herald this film. It has a fantastic pace. It has great characters, even though you don't really know who any of them are by their name. You just know who they are by their feelings, their personality, and the little that you get to know about them in this hour and a half. It has fantastic camera work. For a film that is essentially shot in one room, it never gets boring. It has a great moment of clarity and humanization at the end. And what's probably one of the best parts about the film is the ambiguity of it. You don't even know if the kid is actually innocent or not. You don't get that. You just have this great, great debate. I would love to see this play whenever we can go back to actually hanging out with regular people. Well, Angry Men gets a seven out of seven for me. So happy that I finally saw this. So, so, so happy. If you guys haven't seen it, you can type it in Google. It's actually in an archive website. So you can watch it on there.
