Year: 1957
Director: Sidney Lumet
Reflections: 12 Angry Men is a fantastic social commentary in the heart of late 1950's New York as a room full of jurors deliberate the fate of a hispanic boy being charged with the murder of his father. Henry Fonda delivers a moving performance as the strong spoken idealist amidst a room full of prejudice and distracted minds. I enjoyed the focus Sidney Lumet's film places on the importance of life, along with the current racial inequality in the judicial system.
