its from the fifties so how were you expecting something 'never seen before'.DiegoSapiens wrote:It predictable from the very begining and tge acting and dialogs arent enough good to make it worth something
the film is mostly set round the table and, considering the era it came out is brilliantly done, relying on dialogue and reasoning which, for the time, would have been groundbreaking. it still speaks volumes today, the moral/ethical dilemma of sentencing a man by jury and the judgemental ideas of the characters who at first seem to sweep away any doubt based on there own characterisations. strip that back though and you start to see theres room for reasonable doubt.
amazing film that spoke to me in a way few do today. despite being in black and white and having twelve typical americana dudes in a room just talking the whole time.
