Simple, yet so good

Rating: 8/10 (19 April 2020)

Let me start off by saying that at the point of writing a review for this film, I am 19 years old. I grew up with action packed, CGI-filled, heavy scenery changing films. A film like this however, is completely new territory for me. I feel like during this film I would appreciate it even more than I have, if I would be older. It was a bit too psychological for me.
Despite this being a heavy film to swallow, it was a really good film. Most of the film took place in one single room, with 12 men - from the jury - arguing whether an 18 year old boy should be found guilty of commiting the murder on his father. That's the whole film. But this sheer simplicity combined with one of the most fantastic acting in a film I have ever seen by every single one of the 12 juries, made up for such a good film.
The amount of emotions and words flying through that room felt so real. This and that the camerawork for the time was really nice, made me feel like I wasn't watching a film. It made me feel like I was watching 12 men of the jury argue a lot, and I was just there spectating them.
It was a really interesting film and I definitely recommend anyone this film, and I will get back to this film in the future.
A film from 1957 still being so good to this day honestly amazes me, and that's just what 12 Angry Men does.
