I never thought I'd like black and white movies, this changed my mind

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2015)

I'm a 22 year old movie lover, born in 1993 and I was sure I only cared about movies in colour, made after a certain point in time. Yet I recently decided to watch as many movies as I cold from the "top 250 movies voted by IMDb users" as I could, but held out on this one because it was old and not in colour.
Never have I been so wrong, and never have I been so glad I gave a movie, I probably otherwise would never have watched, an honest chance. I have also never written a movie review on here because I didn't think I was qualified, but this movie deserves all the praise it can get.
This movie might just be one of the best I have seen, and there are multiple reasons for that.
I personally like when someone is able to take a simple concept and make it interesting and much deeper than it first appears, especially when it come to movies, and especially when it also involves analyzing the human psyche / the way humans think.
This movie does not only do that, but at the same time presents an excellent variety of 12 everyday but still VERY different characters, all with different viewpoints and ways of thinking, all of whom is set with the difficult task of deciding if an 18 year old boy from the slums is guilty of murdering his own father or not. And all this, the entire movie takes place in single room with only these 12 characters and a table between them.
The 1 hour and 36 minutes this movie is just flew by, I was that taken away by the characters and their arguments for the young boy being guilty or not guilty.
To me that is fantastic movie-making, and the kind of movie i will let myself be inspired by if / when I myself become a director.
10 / 10, I recommend this movie to any serious movie lover, and it absolutely still applies to a modern audience, I am a good example of that.
