Has anyone read this play, or seen the super-old (but classic) movie starring Henry Fonda? I read the play in 7th grade, and i've seen the movie about 9 times. It's pretty cool.
I am pretty sure anyone has seen it. Oh wait, you did. So basically you answered your own question already.
Yer prolly kidding, seein as how u seem like an intelligent person, but anyhow, the play wasd about an impovershided Latino dude who at age 18 was convicted of murdering his father. The 12 angry men, were the twelve jurors. In my opinion all of them lost their cool, except for the character played by Fonda. The message of the play/movie, is basuically anti-rascism, and anti-sadism. Its pretty cool.
I saw the remake they made in the 90s with Tony Danza and Jack Lemmon and James Gandolfini before he was Tony Soprano. Loved it, it was brilliant, very good acting.
I'm glad you noticed I was kidding. But you're way off base with the intelligent person thing. But I have heard about this play...seems interesting. If I still watched TV or went to plays.
i'm very pro-racism, so i doubt i would like it unless it promotes a half jewish/half christian/agnostic take over of the world involving the extermination of all those who are not my genetic and spiritual equal.
I've seen both versions and they were both great. the fact that Fonda's character kept his cool and stayed focused on what mattered, while everyone else was going apeshit either out of pride, prejudice, apathy, or just a desire to get the fuck out of there says alot. One man following his conscience is a force to be reckoned with, even when he's going against the status quo all by himself. It's a classic scenario; a few control freaks, backed up by a majority who'd opt for the path of least resistence, and one monkey wrench.
