A must watch film for entrepreneurs and leaders.

Rating: 9/10 (14 May 2018)

It's actually my second time watching this film. I've been seeing this movie repeatedly on top recommended movies but reluctant in watching it because it's old, still in black and white, and looks something that would put you to sleep. After reading blogs recommending this movie as one of the best movies about business and persuasion, I got curious so I read reviews and watch youtube videos regarding this film. They discussed how great this movie is. And after watching it, I was blown away.
When I first I watched it, I was astonished how great it is. It proves that it doesn't need expensive visual effects and locations to craft an outstanding film. No wonder why it is rated as one of the best movies ever made.
At the beginning of the film, it feels boring because the courtroom scene is too long. But after they entered the jury room and the jurors started talking, it caught me until the end and enjoyed every bit of it. The acting is unbelievable especially Henry Fonda and Juror #10. All actors are perfect for the role and looks like the director perfected it by understanding every scene in the film.
As for the story itself, the story pictures an ordinary day with jurors giving their verdict to a boy who murdered his father. It's a hot, sunny day inside a small jury room. A very simple plot but full of thrill than many suspense movies.
I like how the director build the story of each character. It will make you put yourself in their situation and see if you'll do the same based on their nature and personalities. I understand the side of the "Guilty" jurors. If I we're in their shoes, I will judge the boy "Guilty". It caught my attention for few days and examine Henry Fonda's character.
After I watched it the second time, it's still brilliant and enjoyed every bit of it. The only realization I got after watching it again is the fact that the points they discussed that would free the boy is too obvious and should be talked about from the hearings. It looks like they all just came with those ideas that moment when they are already doing the final voting. When they first voted, they are 100% sure that the boy is guilty. So I feel that the boy's lawyer and all the Jurors are stupid ( including Henry Fonda ). Points like how the old man get to the front door in 15 seconds, old man hearing the voices while a train is passing by, and why the boy go back to their house at 3am.
Overall, it's a masterpiece and I highly recommend watching this film!
