  I actually think the gesture of juror 8 helping 3 back into his jacket at the end is really touching. Even after everything that happened, the latter was finally willing to concede the point, and the former was willing to help him keep some dignity on their way out the door. A nice reminder that overcoming someone doesn&apos;t mean you have to &quot;destroy&quot; them.

  The movie is so good because the dialog is so quick. Taking place mostly in just one room, it holds your attention throughout.<br>My grandfather showed it to me when I was a teenager and I was so surprised how much I liked it. <br>Especially for a teenager who only liked sci-fi and action movies.

  Lee J Cobb’s turn as Juror 3 is my favorite portrayal of any role, by any actor, ever. I first saw this when I was 14, and I remember thinking that I finally understood what people meant by saying that a supporting actor &quot;stole the show&quot;.

  I love how this movie illustrates that the standard is &quot;reasonable doubt.&quot; We actually never determine for certain whether this defendant killed his father, or not. What was demonstrated was that there was excellent reason for doubt. And that&apos;s the standard.<br>And the amazing roster of acting talent in that room! Henry Fonda, of course. Lee J. Cobb was brilliant. Jack Klugman. Jack Warden. John Fiedler. EG Marshall. Martin Balsam (who was in &quot;Psycho&quot;). Edward Binns. These are some of the most talented, hardest-working character actors of their generation! Supporting players who just worked, and worked, and worked on a constant basis. Every single one of them has an IMDB page as long as your arm. Major acting talent sitting around that table.

  12 Angry Men is such a brilliant and nuanced commentary on how prejudice, and false assumptions can affect our judgement. &nbsp; &nbsp;Our everyday lives are filled with so many issues related to clouded judgment, much less if you extrapolate that to the legal system or a court room setting. &nbsp; They really did an amazing job witth the script writing, getting such dynamic interactions with so little movement or action.

  One of the greatest films ever made. A stunning directorial debut by Sidney Lumet. One of the best casts ever assembled.

  &quot;No, there is no fingerprints back then.&quot;<br>&quot;He even remembered to wipe the knife clean of fingerprints.&quot;<br>&quot;Oh...&quot; 😂

  I&apos;ve been in 3 Jury boxes. 1 person can absolutely change 11 other people&apos;s minds.<br>It&apos;s actually a incredible thing to witness.
