12 Angry Men
The movie Twelve Angry Men begins with an eighteen year old boy from the ghetto who is on trial for the murder of his abusive father. A jury of twelve men are locked in the deliberation room to decide the fate of the young boy. All evidence is against the boy and a guilty verdict would send him to die in the electric chair. The judge informs the jurors that they are faced with a grave decision and that the court would not entertain any acts
He achieves this by often by using the word "supposing" meaning there is room for doubt. It is apparent that a few of these jurors weren't sure, but jumped on the bandwagon and went with the majority despite what they may have felt. After questioning his sanity they hastily decide to humor Fonda by agreeing to discuss the trial for one hour. of mercy for the boy if found guilty. It seems as though some of those who suggested the boy was guilty were reluctant upon raising their hand. Soon after the men gather in the deliberation room the foreman suggests a vote. Immediately after Fonda made his vote of not guilty the room was in uproar. Fonda proposed arguments for every piece of evidence. As Fonda questioned more and more, and what began as 11 jurors with guilty votes began to unwind to a level of uncertainty. The rest of the jury resents the inconvenience of his decision. As the talk proceeded Fonda slowly undermines their confidence by saying that the murder weapon is widely available to anyone, and that the testimony of the key witness is suspected. All of the jurors except Juror #8(Henry Fonda) suggested the boy was guilty.
