It shows a lot

Actually,I seldom saw movies produced by Hollywood before 1980's.So I draw some conclusions that American movies are simply action or sex movies with shocking pictures.My compatriots often laugh at them as no deep contents.But as I see some films which are not so popular in my country,they enlighten me a lot about America nowadays as well as before.
"12 Angry men" doesn't begin with ferry scene,but very fascinating subsequently,it raises my blood pressure,and exits me very much.I have ever read about novels written by John Grisham such as "the runaway jury"and know something about jury system,yet no concrete comprehension.I hold the marrow of America jury system that if there is no enough evidences to prove the suspect guilt,he is then innocent,even if there is a 11:1.
It's a pity I don't know the end of the story but I believe "12 angry men" is one of the best Hollywood works. I imagine its final result is like the Shawshank Redemption,which moves me and encourages me.
Another thing I'm still wondering is that why western people have involved in democracy for centuries and still have a strict law ;on the contrary,Chinese citizens are familiar with being ruled but not caring about the law.
