Twelve Angry Men

Two weeks ago I also watched the movie "Twelve Angry Men" in my comm class. When we were first told that we were going to watch this movie, I was not very sure of what I would think of it. Now that I have finished watching it I think that it was a really good movie. It was very interesting and basically it has to do with a jury of  a court are debating whether or not an 18 year-old is guilty of murdering his father. At first eleven out of twelve said he was guilty. There was one man who voted not guilty because he had a doubt. The eleven men who had voted guilty try to convince him the whole time that he was wrong and the 18 year-old was guilty. In the end the doubts spread and the 18 year-old ends up being declared not guilty. The movie ended there though, we were not able to see what had happened with the 18 year-old after he was released an why the witnesses had declared the way they had (thinking they had seen the 18 year-old without a doubt). 

The whole process that the jury goes through and how they end up at the decision of not guilty is very interesting to watch. This is because their methods in which they use to decide guilty or not guilty changes throughout the movie. The reactions of the different members of the jury are very interesting and really shows how nonverbal communication works and sometimes is more clear than words.
