Many people who have seen this film felt sorry for Juror 3 at the end. He made it clear that he was tortured by the estrangement of his son, that it was the source of his anger. When he finally broke down and bared his soul, no one in the jury said a word. They understood. He wasn't an evil man. He was just an angry and heartbroken man. Lee J. Cobb's greatest performance.

The kid on trial is supposed to be Puerto Rican, although the original play doesn’t specify his race. It was left ambiguous so that the point about prejudice could be both specific and yet timeless. I love the part where all the other jurors, even the abusive father, turn their backs on the bigoted guy. Considering the year this movie was made, that was a powerful moment. I also love that Juror 3 (No Sweat Guy) always seems vaguely disgusted to be on the same side as the bigot and the angry dad. Nice touch from the actor.

For me, this is one of the best films ever made. No special effects, no breathtaking locations, only the story and the acting skills of those involved make this film what it is. If you can create an atmosphere in such a small setting that captivates an audience until the end, then you know that you have mastered your craft. Also, it's great that a 66 year old black and white film can still get such a strong reaction even now. It's the beauty of cinema.

I served on a jury once that involved a man possibly going to jail for a car accident. But the evidence against him was VERY shaky and he had gotten roughed up by one of the traffic cops that arrested him. It took the jury foreman to open up our eyes that this guy was being set up by the plaintiff. But when you finally get to the verdict? It’s very intense! My heart was pounding. We found him not guilty. The guy cried, because his wife and baby were there.

@jazzmaan707 2 күн бұрын

Juror # 3, the last juror, Lee J Cobb, played his part excellently. From the beginning, I hated him, which was his part to do. At the end, when he broke down and started crying and said, "Not guilty," broke down my hatred for him, as I started to feel sorry for him, when he tore his photo to pieces. And then to see Henry Fonda help him put his coat on, that really got to me. Yes, THIS IS A CLASSIC.

It's possible that the knife the boy bought WAS the knife used in the killing. It could've fallen out of his pocket in the apartment when he had the fight with his father and ran out (the boy didn't know exactly when he lost it between leaving the apartment and coming home, it fits the timeline). Father finds it on the floor, sits it on the table. All it takes then is for someone to have come to the apartment, get into an argument with the father, see the knife on the table, grab it, and stab him.

It, along with Shakespeare, Tom Sawyer, Animal Farm, and Lord of the Flies are part of what shaped the Boomer generation. Honorable mention to The Ransom of Red Chief. Also, all of these actors were well known, it must have been filmed during the Hollywood studio system, when the studios had actors under contracts so that the studios decided what movies the actors would be in.

What an extraordinary film of forgiveness. When confronted, challenged, contradicted or tested we can all respond in a similar way; but if left unchallenged a dense scar forms, When our final man finally revealed the density and pain of his scar previously hinted at but now repented, Mr Fonda helped him put on his jacket, stand up and walk away from this without further scarring. The importance of never forgiving action is clear but always remembering if one of us asks for forgiveness, and we know they mean it, we have the unmeasurable power to progress, stand tall and move on, together.

This movie is a Masterpiece. The writing, the acting, the directing, the use of camera, everything was firing on all cylinders. All the characters were believable with 12 distinct personalities. You don't need a big budget to make a great movie. We had some character development. It was even great therapy for two of the characters. - The prejudice man caught some backlash right to his face - so he put himself in the corner to reflect on the ugliness he never knew was inside him. - Then we have the angry shouting father who came to terms with his own demons and broke down at the very end. We went through the movie disliking him. Once it was revealed how much bitter pain he had been living with over his own son we looked at him with pity, just like the other jurors did. - We had a nice callback with the "logical man who never sweats". When he was "interrogated" on the double feature movies he saw, suddenly there is a big drop of sweat rolling down his forehead.

Great Movie. The One Guy was Henry Fonda, Father Of Jane and Peter; Grandfather to Bridget. Another one of his great movies is Grapes of Wrath about the Depression and the Dust Bowl era.

Twenty-four years later , the brilliant director Sidney Lumet, brought to theaters Paul Newman in 1981's The Verdict ( for IMO Newman deserved B A Academy Award. )

The Verdict is another brilliant courtroom drama.

Great great film. In the end you even feel bad for the man who hasn't seen his son for two years. It's easy to surmise that he went on to talk to his son and be a father again. I knew you guys would love it. I been called twice to 6 person juries. It's not easy for sure. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.

One of the main reasons I've subscribed to your channel is that you take the time after watching the film to talk about your feelings watching it. You have wonderful insight in your comments about these films. I've seen this movie quite a few times but it is fun to watch your reactions to each film. You are both really lucky to be able to watch these movies for the first time.

THE SUNSET LIMITED is a classic along the same lines with Tommy Lee and Samuel Jackson. Just them,in a room debating the heaviest things possible, and its amazing.

@bluebird3281 He may be in some movies and TV shows, but he's known for his work as a musician. And, I don't recall him being in anything with Samuel Jackson. But seeing as Sam has been in over 200 movies; anything's possible.

My favourite!!! It’s so quick but nothing is sacrificed in the dialogue or anything . The power is definitely in being swayed by the different characters as you go along with the points coming to light. Glad y’all enjoyed it so much ❤

Martin Balsam who played the jury foreman played the private detective, Arbogast, in "Psycho." Lee J. Cobb, who played the man who was angry at his son, played the kindly police detective in "The Exorcist," who was always trying to get people to go to the movies with him. Henry Fonda, who played the first juror to vote note guilty, played a sadistic gunfighter in "Once Upon a Time in the West."

Truly a classic movie. Everyone should see this movie at least once. I was a kid the first time I saw it, so I didn't get angry watching it. I was intrigued that this is how the jury process works. Loved hearing your discussion about it at the end; I live for these types of reactions when I watch videos like this!

Great movie with an incredible cast. All of them gave fantastic performances. Lee J. Cobb's breakdown at the end is just a legendary performance from a legendary actor. I highly recommend Citizen Kane as another classic movie for you too watch. It's widely regarded as one of, in not the, best film ever made. A true masterpiece that invented a lot of what we see in modern cinema.

I like to point out that Joseph Sweeney was born in 1884. His father grew up during the Civil War. Our parents (and grandparents) grew up during Sweeney's final years. So we are just a few generations away from the Civil War (3 or 4). 4 or 5 away from the Revolutionary War. Juror 2 was the voice of Piglet. The racist juror was the father of Ed Begley Jr. (an actor from Better Call Saul). The director locked the actors up in a small room to run lines ... and amp up the tension. A timeless masterpiece. A great film for any generation. 😋

@craigsartstuff-craiglhaupt 2 күн бұрын

Yes, a classic movie from that era. I saw one comment further down the chain that mentioned 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. I add my voice to that one that should be high on your list to watch. Another true classic. Also, the book of which the movie is based always shows up as one of the first books banned from reading lists.

@rayvanhorn1534 2 күн бұрын

Oh man, I’m stoked for y’all to watch this film, what a masterpiece. Excellent script, outstanding casting & the lighting/contrast in the black & white is fantastic. I think the lack of color really makes the tension & tells a story all its own. Hope you enjoy it, curious to hear your thoughts. Look forward for you to do more classics, as there are so many great films from the 40s-50s. There was a remake but it just didn’t have the same punch as this one, nor the acting talent.

There are so many great subtle moments in this movie. For example. Juror #9, the old man, only voted Guilty because everyone else was. You can tell because he was the last to raise his hand and he did so very hesitantly. He clearly had doubts from the beginning which is why he was the first to join #8 in a Not Guilty vote.

Great job of editing and watching this drama so thoughtfully throughout. This is one of the best American films ever made, with great camera shots, an ensemble cast of the top actors of the day and a tight script. Lighting also plays a special role in black and white films and adds to the drama here.
