12 Angry Man

With pleasure on a Saturday afternoon, I watched movie “12 Angry Man”, “tells the story of a Jury made up of 12 men as they deliberate the guilt or acquittal of a defendant on the basis of reasonable doubt, forcing the jurors to question their morals and values. In the United States, a verdict in most criminal trials by jury must be unanimous. The film is notable for its almost exclusive use of one set: out of 96 minutes of run time, only three minutes take place outside of the jury room.”(wikipedia:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_Angry_Men_(1957_film))

I was moved by this movie, because it show me how people pursue the justice and truth through their endeavor. It encourages me bravely standing back minority people. I wanted to be a lawyer when I was in high school. Because In China, not every people have a clear understanding about their legal right, so a lawyer can help poor people gain the right they deserved. This movie rekindled my dream. I will try my best to realize my dream and help more people.

One thought on “12 Angry Man

  1. I like your point about how some people, especially poor people or minorities, don’t always know their legal right. Lawyers can be a huge service to people wrongfully incarcerated or domestic violence victims who don’t know what legal action they can take. Best of luck achieving your dream!
