This is a story happened among twelve men in a simple room. It sounds boring and unattractive. But if you really get down to watch this movie, you will know how awesome it is. There were twelve men of different occupations made up into a jury, to discuss a case about a seventeen years old boy who murdered his father. They had to reach the consensus of opinion that if the boy is guilty in the lounge. If they all said: "The boy is guilty.", then he would be executed. At first, they had eleven people voted guilty. Only the eighth juror thought that the boy might be innocent, and he voted not-guilty. Then, there came the discussion and argument. The only thing that you can't imagine is, at the end of this meeting, all of these twelve men were in agreement of not-guilty!
As for myself, the most significant thing that I learned is: Do not give up any chances and never ignore even a tiny fact. In this case, everybody thought that the boy is guilty except the eighth juror, and he pointed out a reasonable doubtful point. Then he convinced the others with patience. In this process, everyone hold different outlooks on life and outlooks on value, and they were impact with each other. That was the most excellent part of this movie!
