Previously seeing this movie in middle school, I initially thought that I had a pretty good grasping on the movie’s analysis, however, I was pleasantly surprised finding myself looking at the movie in a new way. One interesting aspect of the film is the setting. By having limited changes in scenery, one could easily hone in on each of the juror’s personalities, and by using their personalities, the audience is left to figure out the crime in question and whether or not the accused is truly guilty.

Finally, the idea that all it takes is one opinion to change others is explicit in this film. Initially, only one juror, Juror 8, votes “not guilty” while the remaining jurors all vote “guilty”. This initial vote of not guilty is enough to start a cascade of thought-provoking arguments that eventually lead to all jurors agreeing that the accused is “not guilty.”
