The film is adapted from the 1957 American film "Twelve Angry Men", which I have seen before, and it is very admirable that I can have such a wonderful film in 1957, which makes me admire the ability of the director and screenwriter, which is called a historical god film. There are also two versions in 1997 and 2007, which are also very exciting. Today I will introduce you to these four versions of "Twelve Angry Men".

Movie Plot: An 18-year-old boy who grew up in a slum is sued in court on suspicion of killing his father, and the witnesses are very conclusive, and the evidence in all aspects is extremely unfavorable to him. Twelve people from different professions formed a jury in the case, and they had to agree in the lounge to decide whether the juvenile was guilty or not, and if convicted, the juvenile would be sentenced to death.
The twelve jury members were different, and with the exception of Juror No. 8, the others dismissed the case with such clear facts that the juvenile was found guilty before discussion had begun.

The film's scenes are bizarrely monotonous — there's only one scene in the whole film, which can set a Guinness World Record. This scene, which can make all the audience obsessively watch for an hour and a half, is a jury lounge, and the small toilet next to it will not exceed 40 square meters. The director uses his magical artistic expression to present an intriguing and touching story in this house of less than 40 square meters.
Twelve Angry Men 12 Angry Men (1997) 8.8
Director: William Friedkin
Writers: Reginald Rose
Starring: Jack Lemon / George C. Scott / Hume Cronin
Genre: Drama / Crime
Release: 1997-08-17
Runtime: 117 minutes
Movie Plot: A film based on the 1957 black-and-white film of the same name. The fame is not great, and the reputation is not as good as the old version. In 1957 by Sydney. Lumante's "Twelve Angry Men" is a classic work that explores the American juror system and legal justice, and this film is directed by William Lee. Friedkin re-filmed the TV version by Jack. Lemon replaces Henry. Fonda played the male lead, and other co-actors included Academy Award-winning film emperor George. C． Scott.
The film depicts a young New Yorker accused of killing his father and being sentenced to death for first-degree murder. Eleven jurors had already found the suspect guilty, and only one felt suspicious, insisted that he had raised objections, and with patience and perseverance persuaded the other jurors to overturn the original intentions one by one, finally rehabilitating the verdict that had almost become an unjust case. Most of the time in the film is carried out in a narrow room, but with the wonderful dialogue and performance, it can still create a dramatic force that is close to the audience.
