Superb Movie

Rating: 10/10 (14 November 2013)

I am studying this at the moment, and it is the first play/movie that I have thoroughly enjoyed at school. We watched the movie before reading the book, and I thought it would totally ruin my understanding of the book. However, much to my disbelief: it helped me understand the book more. This movie is practically word for word of the play, and every action is demonstrated. *This movie works magic*. It managed to get my whole class (17 year olds)to be interested in a black and white movie. NOT many movies can do that.
The movie doesn't have much going for it: Shot in a jury room (the whole film), black and white, and not much of a story line (at first glimpse). However, some way or another it manages to make the audience feel worried and suspenseful at the end of the movie? I think it is the development of each and every one of the characters, and the numerous lessons to be learned. I will remember this movie for the rest of my life.
*For anyone reading this review: Watch this movie, you will NOT look back*.
