The Juror

The judge is giving a set of final instructions to the twelve jurors. It’s a murder case, the jurors have to find if the boy is guilty for the murder of his own father and that if it requires sentence for the defend to be death penalty. After all these instructions and all other things that jurors did taking a short break, complaint about the room it’s hot, without air conditioning and the fan also doesn’t work too. So all the jurors assume the obvious guilt of the defendant, whom has been…

the beginning of the film juror number eight demonstrated to be an emergent leader by not being a follower even though he was the only one who pleaded not guilty and was willing to stand alone against the rest of the jury who pleaded guilty. The second was a designated leader because the man was already appointed to be the spokesman. Juror number…

the 12 jurors are in the jury room about to decide whether the 16 year old man who killed his father is guilty or not-guilty. A few minutes later everyone in the room gathered together around the foreman and started the voting. The eleven jurors voted that the boy is guilty but there was only one person who voted not-guilty. Because of this the jurors had to discuss about the trial and finally decide if the boy is guilty or not. The 8th juror (who voted not-guilty) talked to the other jurors…

In the nearly final scene, Juror #3 rips up a picture he has of his son. We do not know exactly why, but it is evident that Juror #3 holds a grudge against his son. His son is brought up at the beginning of the story but is touched on very lightly. We learn at the end of the movie that the feelings Juror #3 had towards his son were being reflected onto the teen on trial. Having more of a backstory for this juror can make the audience sympathize him and understand why…

generalization always proceeds from the particular to the general. Hasty generalization usually rests behind a stereotype, which a person or event is treated as typical of a whole class. In the film, Juror Ten used this fallacy, he categorized the accused young man with criminal delinquents. To avoid using this fallacy, Juror Ten should have not generalized from unrepresentative samples and logically justified his conclusion of the young man. In the film, 12 Angry Men, an eighteen-year-old boy…

In the very few scenes of the movie all the jurors are summoned into one room and standing towards the door. Juror number 1, also known as the foreman is the leader of the deliberation. He tells everyone to gather around a table and explains that the goal of the day’s deliberation is to vote on the sentence of the boy’s guiltiness and innocence. During the first deliberation, everyone quickly unanimously votes guilty. Everyone all for except one juror; who explains that the reason why he didn’t…

fair trial but to what extent? The witnesses were not very reliable but the jury tried to pin any evidence they could on the boy to make sure he was guilty. They were quick to accuse the kid of murdering his father because of how the boy lived. The jurors had nowhere else to put the blame on so they assumed it must be placed on the boy. That is where this comes into play in our everyday lives. We put the blame on others when there seems to be no one we can blame. We assume others must be a…

In the movie 12 Angry Men (1957) many opinions, decision-making traps, and biases overshadowed the reality of the case at hand. With different personalities who have attitudes and stereotyping and implicit prejudice to a greater extent were to decide the fate of a young boy who was accused of murdering his father.
