What is beautiful about this scene is how all 11 other guys react in subtly different but no less disgusted ways that fit their characters so well. Klugman's 5 slams his papers down and storms away because he's dealt with the prejudice of him being poor all his life. Quiet gentle men 9 and 11 are so sickened they cant sit near him anymore. Angry Man 3 is one of the first to turn his back. Slowly all 1o accept 4 move and look away until 4 delivers his cutting rebuttal that breaks 10 completely.

3 was already turned when we see him, so we dont know whether he waa already turned or turned his back. Probably the former. The filmmakers probably wanted to not draw attention to him

@alphaomega7191 11 ай бұрын

@@Knightgil I think there is a clear attempt to make 3 more understandable at this point. 4 is rational and logical and logic eventually sees him change, 10 is a twisted bigot and it's all he'll ever be but 3 is a man so caught up in his own situation he cant see past that - he isn't an evil man and I think this is the point where they start to subtly show it. He isn't going to voice support for 10's views because he sees them for what they are. The beauty of when 3 breaks is that people show him some compassion. I've always wondered if he walks away from this broken or with a new found understanding of things once he reflects.

My favorite scene is when nine notices the bumps on four's nose left by his glasses and says that the female witness had those very same bumps in court, though she wore no glasses, questioning her eyesight, knowing that only eyeglasses could leave those marks. When they accept that she probably had glasses and wasn't wearing any when she saw the crime from across the street at night, two says, "You can't send a man to death on evidence like that."

I love this version instead of the play. The only one who does the talking is Juror 10. In the play, people start interrupting him mid monologue. I think the silence is much more powerful. Also, it’s a good way to block someone out: just don’t give them an audience. You can see the way they pull back the camera that the more people turn away from #10, the smaller he appears within the frame. There’s so much to unpack from this one scene alone.

No, no, no, no, no. It is downright dangerous and irresponsible to react by simply ignoring the person. EVERY false idea needs to be addressed with REASON as the tool of opposition. If it isn't, people pick up on the fact that no good argument against that idea is being made, and are more inclined to fall in line with the bigoted individual, who, I hate to say, can be very convincing. Most people wouldn't experience the sudden revelation that Juror 10 experiences at the end of this scene.

@negamewtwo5535 6 жыл бұрын

Shredulex Not necessarily. The point of the other jurors ignoring him was to show that they were all tired of his shit. Getting up and walking away without saying a word to him is a more powerful message than simply telling him to "sit down and shut up". Getting up without a single word his direction essentially tells him he isn't even worth a response, which is what he likely wanted. The juror then said "sit down and shut up" once enough doubt entered and enough support left in order to REALLY drive the point home

The concept of shame has been used for thousands of years against errant antisocial people to great effect. Dale Carnegie once said: 'A man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still'. In other words, it's pointless to try to convince someone against their entrenched mindset. As it only forces them onto the defensive. But turning away & socially ostracising them forces them to consider their own position & examine their conscience. As juror 11 does in a seat on his own away from the group that has excluded him from their midst. This is far more effective than shouting him down.

No. Fonda's argument is that domestic violence as part of his life did not rise to the level of wanting to kill someone. It still causes stress even enough to cause someone to forget movie titles, but not likely drive them to murder. E.G. Marshall's response that there might have been a breaking point is speculation on his part, which is why there is a "reasonable doubt" on this line of reasoning.
