Wonderfully grasping. Ethically Challenging.

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2017)

This grasping film has been on my list of top 10 favorites, which is perhaps odd for a millennial to say, seeing as my generation is addicted to the pop and glow of advanced SFX and booming threshold of sound design.
A riveting story about the journey 12 men take to pursue the truth in trial is a slow tide, eventually rolling over every aspect of rhetoric. From emotionally exposing arguments to logically sound conversation, 12 Angry Men takes the cake on what a perfect script of dialogue embodies.
The reason I rate this film a 10 out of 10 is due to the ease and simplicity of production with such a complex and engaging outcome. For 1957, you can't really throw a more entertaining dialogue in front of a viewer.
The ethical challenge in this story defines the underdogs tale to find truth, and not only find it, but pursue it in the wake of hostility and doubt. As a young boys life hangs by a thread on the word "guilty," one man stands by his own heartfelt intuition and eventually he brings truth to triumph over a "sadists" aggression that has been tied to longstanding personal sorrow. Beautiful representation and manifestation of defining the necessity to defend ethical truth and not be overpowered by steamroller personalities.
Highly recommend to all peoples in any generation.
