Interesting and relevant movie!

Rating: 7/10 (3 November 2017)

It is interesting that this movie takes place almost entirely in a single setting, which is the courtroom. Through this movie, it can be seen that each jury members have different perspectives and interests which resulted in the different votes. In reality, some discussion or negotiation has to be done to reach a favorable decision because in a situation with multiple stakeholders, different stakeholders will have different personal interests they wish to hold onto or achieve. Hence, i felt that this movie was very relevant to the situations we may face in reality. If no negotiation is done, those who make biased decisions may possibly jeopardize the entire situation or cause losses to others, which in this case, was the life of a teenage boy.
The way the movie evolves from 11-1 in favor of guilty to 11-1 in favor of acquittal was very interesting as the points brought up by jury 8 was unexpected because it was so detailed and specific. This movie changed my perception of black and white movies, and i really enjoyed this movie.
