"Twelve angry men" follows 12 jurors in the United States as they discuss a case. At the beginning of the process, only one of the members chose that the parties involved in the case were innocent, and all the other members stood against him. As the discussion developed, people were persuaded by him and chose to join him. The outcome, of course, is predictable: everyone will be persuaded. But what I want to say is that this is a movie that got the ending right and didn't get the ending right. Even if there are only some debates and arguments in the process of guessing the right one, and maybe some use of force to match the title of the movie (12 angry men), it will be attracted by the legal system and democracy shown in the movie, by the different jury systems in China and the west, and by the wonderful debates among the twelve characters with different personalities.
