And there you have it. You don't need special effects for a movie to be great, nor fancy sets nor huge budgets. You need a tight script with a clear idea of the story line, a director with imagination and talented actors who can bring their characters to life. Brilliant film. Good reaction, Ms Emma.

[@62salv]

Lee J Cobb played Lieutenant Kinderman in The Exorcist(1973 ).....another fantastic movie!

[@mikealvarez2322]

This movie was made in an era where the story, the script, and great actors made great movies and not special effects or CGI.

[@migmit]

I love #4. “Now sit down and don't open your mouth again”. Brilliant. He is never emotional, never makes it personal, and switches the moment all the facts prove to be in doubt. And even in this moment he keeps absolutely calm... and it's chilling.

[@manueldeabreu1980]

What gets lost, because he plays the villain, is Ed Begley's performance. He plays that slow burn . You know off the bat you may not like the character. As he talks more and more you just can't take him and then he goes off and the whole room turns on him. The cast is brilliant but his performance gets lost.

[@migmit]

@@manueldeabreu1980 Oh, yes, he is great. And I've heard he was actually the sweetest guy in reality. I have a theory that actors that play great villains usually turn out to be good people.

[@lafelong]

@@migmit After expertly playing one of the sleaziest villains of all time in "The Apartment", Fred MacMurray was so disgusted he vowed to never play a villain again. He went on to be famous for only playing nice guy/Dad roles. My Three Sons/Disney movies, etc.

[@mattslupek7988]

I thought it was Juror #8 who said that. I do like #4, though. He stuck to the facts, and never showed any emotion. He was the most logical one in the room.

[@migmit]

@@lafelong Henry Fonda was persuaded to play in “Once Upon a Time in the West” by a perspective to play a villain.

[@lawrencefine5020]

In the top 5 on my list. 12 great actors in one room just acting out a great script to perfection. I always well up at the end when Lee J. Cobb breaks down. Great reaction, Emma.

[@curtisdyoung3350]

Courtroom dramas are my preferred movie genre and 12 Angry Men is among my favorite. Such great performances without the use of action sequences or special effects. And as always, I continue to enjoy your reactions and those occasional scene re-enactments.

[@slingblade6858]

Lee J Cobb, the final holdout, never fails. They are all wonderful actors. There is a TV version of "Death of a Salesman" from the 60s you can probably find on KZbin where he gives an unforgettable performance.

[@pedrorocha9722]

Already one of your best reactions. Saw this one on tv, when I was a kid. Even then, it made an impression on me.

[@edpublic]

One of the Best movies ever made,,,To Kill a Mockingbird and The Grapes of Wrath follow in it's place,,,,heyEmma😘🥰🤗

[@iambecomepaul]

I love Emma’s reactions. She’s such a sweet person. It also helps that she’s as smart as she is. She enjoys film and yet she’s also engaged in the story. Lovely lass, that Emma.

[@Emma_Reactions]

😊 thank you 🤩

[@chipurBillWhite]

Excellent choice and reaction, as usual. You’ve been busy lately. I’m glad.

[@LeRoy-z5f]

A classic film with a great cast

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

The movie was set in New York. Women were allowed to serve on juries in that state starting in 1927. It just served the purposes of the story for all the jurors to be men. It's interesting to think how it would have been different if there were at least one woman on the jury. Did you notice that none of the characters' names were given until the very end, when jurors 8 and 9 introduced themselves to each other on the courthouse steps? Juror 10 (the bigot) didn't speak a word after juror 4 (the cool-headed guy) told him not to open his mouth again. Even when casting his final vote, he did it by shaking his head. Director Sidney Lumet began the movie using camera angles above the jurors' heads, and slowly moved it downwards. He also used more close-ups as the movie went on. The result was an increasing feeling of being in a small space. One thing I like about this movie is how the different characters bring their own experience and perspectives into the jury room with them. The old man understood why another old man would testify the way he did. The guy who lived in a slum knew about how switchblades were used in actual fights. The smallest juror who brought up the question of the kid stabbing downward while being so much shorter than his father. "12 Angry Men" was Sidney Lumet's first theater film (he had already directed things for television). Some of his other movies include "The Pawnbroker," "Fail Safe," "Serpico, ", "Murder on the Orient Express," "Dog Day Afternoon," "Network," "The Wiz," "The Verdict" and "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead." "Dog Day Afternoon" is a favorite of mine that was nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture, and it won for Best Original Screenplay.

[@brandonwilliams957]

You should watch “Clue”. I think it’s a good companion film to “12 Angry Men”.

[@MrRufusRToyota]

A great primer on the American legal system, with Lee J. Cobb a traditionalist focusing on guilt or innocence, and Henry Fonda following the Court’s instructions, ignoring guilt or innocence, and focusing instead on reasonable doubt. A great post-WW II movie with the common man now the great man.

[@MrGadfly772]

This is more than a movie about a legal case, it's about thinking and open mindedness. The ability to speak your true thoughts without the support of the others takes real integrity and strong principles. We are all in that little room, every day, and we all have our biases. But our clear-headed thinking and open mindedness can cut through the distortions and lies if only we have the integrity to do so.

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

This is a classic film, Emma, I loved your reaction to it.

[@wiseblood90]

Perfect film

[@davidgaunt5018]

Thank you, Emma, for your wonderful reaction to this incredible movie. I think you opened up a little window in my mind about what a fantastic short lesson this is about breaking down prejudice and apathy using reason and empathy.

[@imaoregonbum6683]

it is beautiful to see people of other lands see a beauty in Justice, democracy that some Americans have forgotten.

[@SaltyFrosticles]

The dialogue and acting are so good. This is my favorite version!

[@philowens7680]

Thank you Emma for a great reaction to another classic film!

[@Emma_Reactions]

No problem 😊

[@bryanCJC2105]

This is one of those great movies. I want to bring up an important point. This movie is from a time when the real man, a mature man, is often portrayed as wise, thinking, considerate, courteous, and respectful. In being this way, he gains respect without using force, threats, or bravado, only his thoughtful deliberate words. In this movie, you clearly see that. The loud, bullying, and vulgar men are seen as childish and immature, the worst kind of man. How often do we see grown men today acting like overgrown children? We can see how these adult mature men gain respect and how the childish men lose it. Despite being made in 1957, it still has so much relevance today. Even in the last scene when Henry Fonda helps the last holdout with his jacket, he is mature and respectful. This was common in movies and TV shows of the 40s, 50s, and 60's as examples of how to behave and gain respect, and began to change in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Today, we see childish man-boys in movies and on TV most often.

[@totomomo18]

Great movie .You should also see ,The Nuremberg trials. Other great legal dramas are The Rainmaker, A Civil Action, Erin Burchvich, Murder At First.

[@edpublic]

During filming they Shrunk the Room by 16% to help with the claustrophobic atmosphere

[@JohnVinylGen]

Whenever I watch a reaction to this film I always suggest "To Kill a Mockingbird" (1962) based on Harper Lee's novel. Also has a great court case at the center. Nominated for three academy awards and Gregory Peck won best actor.

[@marke8323]

Henry Fonda was a big star at the time and most of the other actors were well known in that time. Fonda was Jane Fonda's father (actress) and did many Westerns, some with Jimmie Stewart.

[@flashgordon10001]

My 5th grade elementary school played about 5 important educational films in class to us kids . The ones I remember are: 12 ANGRY MEN, TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD, and FAIL SAFE. All 3 were powerful experiences. Especially FAIL SAFE! About stopping a nuclear war with Russia! React to FAIL SAFE if you can...

[@flashgordon10001]

I was in 5th grade in 1973

[@larryairgood4320]

When you are ready for old, classic black and white musicals, try "Gold Diggers of 1933" (choreographed by the great Busby Berkeley) and also "The Gay Divorcee" (starring famous partners in dance Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers); these 2 movies will likewise have you smiling at the end.

[@eugeneoman]

Great reaction Emma! This is one of the best ensemble casts I've seen. All great actors.

[@justicepatrol2024]

The rotunda shown in the first scene and the stairs shown in the last scene were filmed at the New York State Supreme Court Building, located at 60 Centre Street in NYC. If you stand in the middle of the rotunda and speak, there’s a tremendous echo; however, people standing only a few feet away won’t hear a thing. It’s cool. I've been inside many times not as a defendant but while filming.

[@marvinsarracino116]

Great classic movie! The cast was awesome! This movie is totally engrossing! You can feel the tension in the room! Luv your reaction Emma!❤️💛 please watch "The Fabulous Baker Boys " you'll luv it!

[@bossfan49]

I normally don't like remakes, but the remake was actually good. Jack Lemmon killed it.

[@flobp2381]

Another court room drama, "Anatomy of a Murder".

[@hadrenspicer9035]

All of these men are top notch actors the movie is on the 10 of all movies made

[@conureron3792]

The director changed the level of the camera during the movie. Started above, then face to face, then slightly below.

[@kurtfrancis4621]

Loved your reaction, Emma. You have a tender heart and are very emotive, something which I appreciate. Glad you enjoyed this classic film that so well describes the human condition.

[@Emma_Reactions]

I love it! 😍

[@ReeveAers-rg6gx]

another great black and white courtroom movie is inherit the wind. you should consider it if you enjoyed this one

[@robertjewell9727]

It really is a masterwork, isn't it? The acting, the cinematography in a confined space,the script and dialogue plus the distinct personalities: Juror 8 is an architect so he wants to understand how things are constructed; the watchmaker craftsman who gets into a heated argument with a guy who keeps worrying about the time. Very subtle and brilliant. If you haven't seen them there are some other great films that take place in a single setting. Alfred Hitchcock did 3: LIFEBOAT (1944), ROPE (1948) and REAR WINDOW (1954). Also the director of this film Sidney Lumet tdid an excellent courtroom drama from 1982 THE VERDICT which is outstanding. Wonderful reaction. Cheers!

[@JimAW63]

Now you need to watch To Kill a Mockingbird. It's another classic in a similar style.

[@icetech6]

Just as good the 100th time as the first... Also the 1997 tv movie is shockingly good.. with George C Scott in the pissed old man role...

[@izzonj]

I thought they did a great job. Great cast, also. Well, Tony Danza..lol

[@conureron3792]

One of the absolutely best movies ever. Juror #1 is the private investigator Arbogast in Psycho.

[@randallshuck2976]

To see Henry Fonda (the architect) in a different light and a really good western try the movie "Once upon a time in the west". Great cast in this movie all top actors of the time. Very good reaction. Thanks.

[@pjcornelius]

Too many people discount old black and white movies simply because that is what they are. But I believe it is indisputable that some of the best movies in the history of the genre were created in those early days, before we got so hung up on CGI and graphic depictions of violence and sex. This is not to say that good movies aren’t made now, there are always a few. I just wish people would watch and give a chance to more of the old classics. So thank you for helping with this!

[@JoeCool7835]

My wife & I saw the stage play of this years ago. It's still amazing!

[@kennethwilliams7731]

Did you recognize the lone holdout ,who had a issue with his own son? He was the detective and movie fan from 1973s The Exorcist! Such a powerful and angry performance! All the actors did an excellent job.

[@BarryOstle-o8z]

HI EMMA LOVED YOUR REACTION, I LOVE THIS FILM, THEY DON'T MAKE FILMS LIKE THIS. ANYMORE CLASSIC!!!😍

[@geobol7603]

Those are some real heavyweight actors

[@jamespfp]

2:05 -- RE: The Cast; IMO the greatest thing about this film is the casting, although I wouldn't want that statement to take anything away from the drama of the plot. Suffice it to say there's several really well known actors in here alongside several who are better known as being top-notch supporting cast. Special mention must go to 2 individuals: Lee J. Cobb, who plays the last hold-out, and E.G. Marshall who is the second to last.

[@timclasen7042]

That movie reminds me of another movie playing in just one room. Jerome Bixbys "The Man from earth"

[@conureron3792]

The juror eager to get to the ballgame said Yanks and Cleveland were playing. Coincidentally, they are currently playing for a pennant today

[@thomastreece6773]

I thought this has been one of your better reactions, Emma. Oustanding outro! Thank you!

[@Emma_Reactions]

Wow, thank you!🤩

[@rubroken]

A more current movie with almost all the action and dialogue in one place is"Phone Booth" starring Colin Farrell. Almost the whole movie takes place in a phone booth. I don't know if it's a great movie(I liked it)but the screenwriting has to be great to pull that off

[@stephenriggs8177]

This movie appears to take place in New York, which has allowed women to serve on juries since 1937. So I guess there was not legal reason why women couldn't have been on this jury.

[@sanzoftatooine]

I could be wrong, but I think there was a period of time when, while it was legal for women to serve on juries, they could "opt out."

[@mikecaetano]

Sydney Lumet's use of close up shots in this film is brilliant. Henry Fonda played the lead, but Lee J. Cobb owns this film. Also check him out in On the Waterfront (1954). And for more excellent courtroom dramas from that era also check out The Caine Mutiny (1954), Witness for the Prosecution (1957), Anatomy of a Murder (1959), Judgment at Nuremberg (1961), Town Without Pity (1961), and To Kill a Mockingbird (1962).

[@rubroken]

I'm not a fan of old black & white movies but this one IS a classic

[@NickDanger-k2x]

In the last scene there's a man slowly walking down the steps, who do you believe it could be? :)

[@manofconstantsorrow]

Maybe the kid was smoking during killing and that's why the woman saw only a blur.

[@drchaos2000]

what bothers me is that juror 8 forgot to pick up his knife... its still in the room after they all left, and it wasnt the evidence knife

[@DevlinDomini]

So, glad you’re doing classics (maybe a scary classic for spook-tober?) Question: When will you tell us what happened to your accounts?

[@jamespfp]

29:15 -- RE: Favorite Scene; This is my pick for the best scene in the film and the reason is because of how "old school" the Jury deals with the problematic bigot, by Ostracizing him. This solution is at least as old as classical Greece.

[@MrRizzo1961]

A real classic No profanity, explosions,Chase scenes, or a big budget needed.👏👏 Your one hit little lady,and very sexy accent.✌️❤️🇺🇸

[@otter3095]

👏🏻👏🏻 ( may I suggest….Fried Green Tomatoes 👍🏻)

[@CrownlessKing88]

It wasn’t til 1957 that every state could have women on a Jury.

[@darkwing0o0rama]

So excited for this!

[@neutrino78x]

It's one of my favorite movies! I love court and political drama. We know this movie takes place in Chicago because they talk about the "L" train....L for eLevated. They are famous for their elevated electric train there. Of course all major cities in the USA, and in fact the world, have some kind of public transit. Juries are provided for in the US Constitution in Article III, Section 2, "The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury"... (impeachment is the process of throwing out the President.) I'm actually practicing American Democracy right now, with my paper ballot, which my state, the Great State of California, sends to all registered voters. I only voted in person in my first one, in 1996 when I turned 18. I have requested a paper ballot every year since. California started mailing ballots to all registered voters, automatically, during the pandemic. Three pages...ten voter propositions; these are laws that the people of California vote for in a process of direct democracy. Some of it, I already know how I will vote. I already marked Kamala Harris for President. 🙂 I will definitely vote to raise the minimum wage in the state to 17 USD (15.70 euros) in 2025 and 18 USD (16.62 Euros) in 2026. (The minimum wage in my city, San Jose, is already 17.55 USD (16.21 Euros).) Some of the rest I am not sure how I will vote. I have lots of time to think about it and fill it out, and put it in the mail. 🙂

[@bobbolondz2701]

Doesn't one of the jurors have a ticket to the Yankees game? Plus the NYC elevated train can be seen in Saturday Night Fever, the car chase in the French Connection and the introduction to Welcome Back Kotter.

[@raybernal6829]

One of my top 10 movies of all time. Everything about it was excellent... As was mentioned To Kill A Mockingbird and The Grapes of Wrath are other movies from years ago that are great still today. Understanding the American legal system can he daunting and not perfect its still the best. I think you understood why the older man who was voting guilty until later when he got shamed into what he said and thought. He was a big0t....

[@johnnygood4831]

I don't know if you know this fact, the MGM lion at the beginning killed his trainer the day after that scene was shot. Also, the roar is not the lion but a tiger. It is a proven fact that "eyewitnesses" are unreliable. They see what they want to see, believe what they want to believe, not what actually happened. I also want to commend you, no swearing like other reactors.

[@subitman]

This is one of my favorite movies. Thank you for your reaction, Have you seen any martial arts movies? A serious one is Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. It is about a stolen legendary sword and a hidden romance. There's a lot of wire work and flying but unlike super hero movies, Of course there's also a lot of sword play, A funny martial arts movie is Shaolin Soccer. A group of Shaolin monks have left their monastery to make a living in the real world. Things were difficult, When the monastery asked them to raise money to save the monastery, they decided to form a soccer team and join the tournament to get the grand prize. There's also wire work and special effects. Use subtitles as the dubbed translations are awful and inaccurate,

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

One of the great ones. For me this one is just behind Casablanca #1 and "It's a Wonderful Life" #2. With this film, I would tie with, "The Treasure pf Sierra Madre." Loved your reaction. I particularly like the end where Henry Fonda's character helps the man suffering from the guilt of losing his son by his own actions. This is a very deep film covering racism and a multitude of other human frailties. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.

[@Cbcw76]

This film CHEATS. BIG TIME. The play ran for at least a year and actors were all familiar with it. They all refined their dialog so this film is just about perfect. THEY CHEATED!!

[@migmit]

I'm not a lawyer, but it seems that the professional lawyers usually (usually!) agree that a) the jury did a lot of things that they absolutely shouldn't do - buying the knife was the most egregious, but not the only one; b) the prosecution's case is really weak, and only got that far because the defense was terrible. It's a great drama, but a really poor representation of the real jury work.
