12 ANGRY MEN (1957) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@NeptuneLady1957]

These are some of the BEST actors of that generation! Star studded in one room! Look them up: Henry Fonda, Jack Klugman, Martin Balsam, Ed Begley, Jack Warden, E. G. Marshall, Robert Webber to name a few.

[@samuraiwarriorsunite]

Absolutely correct. Even a first-time director would look great with that caliber of talent.

[@RubyGB]

Lee J Cobb as the last hold out for guilty.

[@kschneyer]

Indeed. Most of these actors were either already legends or became legends later. Jack Klugman (who played the kid from the slums, and who was eventually one of the best television actors of his generation, in multiple series over decades) said later that he couldn’t believe he was acting with Lee J. Cobb, who he’d seen onstage in “Death of a Salesman” (an acknowledged masterpiece).

At the time it was almost certainly Puerto Ricans.

[@FloridaMugwump]

@@drakethedragon3164 I think the character was kind of racially ambiguous, so it applied to any group. Also the racial insults were very generic. Here is a good generic insult for any group, for example "How do you hide your money from (ethnic group)?" "Put it under the soap!" Other examples of racially ambiguous actors include Jamie Farr and Anthony Quinn, lol.

Henry Fonda. One of the biggest stars in the history of American movies. Stars in dozens of classics from the 1930s through the 1970s

[@jessediaz1293]

I think the old snotty racist guy switched to not guilty because after they all left the table he was just giving out his true feelings and was left alone. He sat down and was dwelling on everything he just said. He knows he’s prejudice and only caring about the defendants race and skin color. He had a moment of realization of is hate.

[@kurtjk01]

The part that really got me about this movie was a phrase I had learned just before seeing it in high school: "the banality of evil." The racist isn't racist because of some slight from the defendant's ethnic group; it's just the easiest way to interpret it . . . "Everyone knows that." No more thinking required. It takes a whole room of people to show him that his thinking is wrong, on a fundamental level. And he thought he was one of the good guys. That's a hard hit; yet he took it. Like a man. In my head cannon, every man walked out of that room changed; not least of which our lead, who saw a chance to show compassion to someone who had reprehensible traits, and took it. And listen to your old folks, people; they've seen more than you know.

[@samuraiwarriorsunite]

The camera work in this film is fantastic. As strong as the ensemble cast acting. Of note, I always viewed Ed Begley Sr.’s character, having the summer cold as great symbolism of personal prejudice. He’s infected. And he does everything to contaminate others around him, both in his words and opinions and his body actions, coughing uncovered and flailing his snot rag around the room. This movie has so many levels!

This was originally a live television play. Henry Fonda (guy in the white suit) bought the rights to it and acted as producer. Henry was in a lot of comedies and dramas in the 1930’s and 40’s, a lots of westerns, usually plays the “good guy” and might be known today as the best friend of actor Jimmy Stewart and father of actors, Peter and Jane Fonda.

Sidney Lumet is one of the great directors of all time, and this is his first movie and also one of his best. Another movie by Lumet that I always recommend is Fail Safe from 1964...it also stars Henry Fonda.

Henry Fonda’s Juror 8 is one of cinema’s greatest heroes. An architect and a family man who seeks justice for an eighteen year old from a tough background, may well be guilty but as enough reasonable doubt to fight for his corner despite being the lone Not Guilty voter.

It's an absolute masterclass in quality filmmaking that "12 guys talking in a room" can be made into such a masterpiece. And the meek little guy you said you liked is John Fiedler, who was in an incredible amount of media but would be most famous to me and you as the voice of Piglet. Maybe the most interesting thing to me is that whether or not the kid actually did it doesn't matter much. The real conflict is entirely on the tension, conflict, and conversation between the jurors as they each wind up facing their own lives as well as the details of the case. It's one of my favorite films ever for that reason. Then at the end of it all, they just go their separate ways. They've each changed and grown and decided the fate of another human being, then just like that they're all gone.

[@scapevelocity]

I've been dealing with a manager at work (not my manager) who's angry with me for questioning some poor management decisions in an internal meeting. I had a revelation thinking about 12 Angry Men, that it's the best example of a group developing insights and solutions being allowed to argue things out together. It's such an obvious lesson from our jury system to the corporate world: encourage people to talk, to debate, to argue, to present solutions and try to poke holes in them. Now I just need everybody in authority around me to watch this one and think about what they've seen.

there is too much dialogue and not enough action. 99.9% of modern day hollywood writers cannot write this, and those that can will not likely get a chance to have their scripts made like this without someone rewriting it. modern day version of this will have 10 min of this and then turn into a basic action film when the real killer in the jury flees and the others team up to catch him.

[@Rian-zf7ye]

I think there are many writers in Hollywood that would love to make movies like this. But the producers (correctly) realize that no one would go out and support it. The only hope is to get that 1/100 lightning in a bottle movie that takes off, but that’s super unlikely. If this came out in theaters today, it would barely make any money. The movie-going public wants John Wick, Comic book movies, and the occasional Horror or Comedy. So that’s what we get. 🤷‍♂️

Hell, even if you don't react to it, it's a good adaptation that's worth a watch and I most definitely recommend. 5:49 Several of the actors were very famous in their time. These days, Henry Fonda is probably the most widely remembered name, especially since he's Peter and Jayne Fonda's dad. 13:28 When he first walks over to the towel, he pulls it down, so he's got a clean section of towel for himself. He goes over to that one because, when he tried to pull down the towel on the one by the sink, it was out. A roll of clean towel would get put on a spool in the dispenser and the end attached to a second spool. When you pulled down, you would get a clean section of towel and the dirty section got fed towards the back and rolled up onto the second spool. Once all the clean towel was used up, it would no longer pull down, and someone would have to come in and remove the roll of dirty towel to put in a new clean one.The roll of dirty towel was then sent off to a commercial laundry service to get cleaned, sanitized, and re-spooled. 13:58 The thing that has always bugged me about the whole "what if you talk us into letting him go and he's actually guilty" argument is that the argument has been around since ancient times that it is better to let the guilty go unpunished than to punish an innocent. We even discussed it in elementary school (Catholic school) because there's a bit in the bible about sparing the wicked rather than punishing the innocent along with them. 14:16 That little dude is John Fiedler, Juror 2, who was the voice of Piglet from 1968 until his passing in 2005. 15:40 One of my favorite lines in the movie and it underscores what a hypocrite, and bully, Juror 3 is. When he's talking about kids not calling their parents sir anymore, he implies that kids don't respect their elders anymore, then he talks about being disgusted by his son running from a fight, also implying that" a man" doesn't run away from a fight, and in that scene he is the one being disrespectful to the older man, then, when he's confronted by a guy who is clearly ready to back it up, he folds and walks away. 33:56 100%! He's a man who's son went no contact because he was an abusive father and he's here he is, dealing with a case where a son is accused of killing his abusive father. It was definitely very personal to him. He was putting the hurt and anger that he felt towards his son on this onto that boy, wanted to punish him for it and finding him innocent was almost like admitting that he was a bad father, like the dead man. 36:19 I think that Juror 10, the racist guy, lived in a bubble of people who were casually racist and assumed that everyone thought like him, making him completely normal. Earlier in the movie, when he's talking about "them", Juror 8, the guy who originally stood alone, was the only one that even gave him any push-back. Even during his rant, he starts out with "there are some good ones" before going full into "they're all bad", which suggest that even he doesn't realize how deep his racism goes, but when everyone turns their backs on him, he's finally forced to confront that he is actually a whole ass racist and that he's not the normal nice guy that he considers himself to be. It's a whole worldview altering moment for him, realizing that he's out of step with society. Disclaimer: I've had 4 Long Island Iced Teas, and an Avexia Comfort, while watching this reaction, and it's probably to blame for any misspelling or odd turns of phrase. If the latter half of this comment is legible, autocorrect and spellcheck are probably who to thank for it and deserve all the credit.

Two Great Older Courtroom Dramas, "Inherit the Wind" and "Judgement at Nuremburg"

J and Blank, 12 Angry Men was to the 1950's as The Expendables was to the 2000's, filled full of celebrities that most people knew.

The paper towel thing was cloth. As you pull it more cloth towel comes down from a roll. When the whole roll is dirty someone's takes it away to be washed.

I love watching the full-length reactions, and then coming back and watching the edit, as there are always comments you make that I miss in the full-length since I always get so caught up in watching the movie, myself. They always claim that too much dialogue kills a movie, and yet here we are with a movie which is nothing but dialogue ~ an absolute masterclass in dramatic acting. Even as a teenager when I happened across this movie on a rainy weekend, looking for something to watch on one of the few channels we had back then, I was captivated from the very first. Reginald Rose wrote a masterpiece. The original was made as a television play in 1954, he won an Emmy for the script, and this movie garnered him an Oscar nomination. The story as to how he came to write it is interesting, as his father was a Lawyer, and his inspiration came from his own experience on a Jury in a manslaughter trial. Most of all, I love how this movie forces a person to examine their own personal biases. That, alone, is an important step to addressing discrimination in all its forms. That whole mentality of "us" and "them" is such an utter mythological belief system, and leads down the rabbit hole of all rabbit holes. I typically ask people if they want to borrow a shovel or bulldozer to dig their hole faster and deeper. Some figure out what I'm saying, others just keep on digging ~ like "snotty" did (I love that nickname!). I appreciate the fact that you pointed out how people defend themselves and others when you call them out for being racist. For those who need a clue, if what you say offends somebody, or causes them emotional distress, you don't get to gaslight them. It doesn't make you right or erase what you did ~ when you should actually stop and learn just why it caused them offense or distress. People's feelings are legitimate, regardless as to whether you're thinking they are overreacting or taking things "too" personally. Just saying.

A lot of reactors comment on the towel in the rest room. I remember those - they operate with two spools, the clean towel is pulled down and the dirty one rolls onto the lower spool. They laundered and replaced them, back before we threw everything away.

[@pleutron]

That old snotty guy wasn't being racist, he was being classist and/or prejudice towards poor people, since he was just talking about the slums, not a specific race. The baseball lover, maybe a little racist. Also, I just noticed how much of a germaphobe our illustrious leader is... I get it, but wow lol

[@EOMReacts]

It’s not being a germaphobe bc I don’t want your snot on me lol. - J

I used to find it really annoying when people would suggest anyone who ended up on a jury was too stupid to get out of it. I’ve served on a jury without trying to get out of it for three reasons. 1. I felt like I had common sense and could remain unbiased and be a fair juror 2. I genuinely did feel like it was my duty believe it or not And 3. I was just out of college and hadn’t gotten a job yet and so many other people there had jobs and families and other stuff going on while I was just playing video games in my free time with no responsibilities yet so I figured if I could free at least one person from having to go through it when they had real life to deal with then that would be a kindness 😂 It was only a few hours of my day and ended up being kind of interesting at points.
