Douban 55,000 people have seen it, and the rating is 9.2 points.
The film is based on the black-and-white film of the same name, the original version of the 1957 shooting has not been seen, although many people say that the 1997 remake of this version is not as good as the 1957 version, but I think the 97 version has been made very well.
The film's layout is simple, with one room, 12 white people, a long table, a dozen chairs, and some simple props that make up all of the props for this movie. If you put it in today, don't talk about the movie, just look at this prop setting is not as good as the drama, but it is this simple everything that constitutes this great suspense movie.
Director William Friedkin does not prompt the audience of the passage of time through changes in the scene or changes in the surrounding environment, but through some small details, subtly prompts the audience with changes in time, and thus promotes the change of the storyline.
The film portrays a true portrayal of the contemporary American judicial system. These 12 people, who come from different backgrounds, ages, and occupations, have come together to exercise the most central judicial power on behalf of the American people. At the end of the film, the 12 people have completed their duties and walked out of this small room to the door of the courthouse, suddenly enlightened. Suddenly, the 12 people who had just been sword-fighting on the table went their separate ways and re-embarked on their original life tracks. Inside the courts, at the negotiating table, they are the representatives of citizens who fulfill their constitutional obligations; when they leave the courts, they become themselves again, returning to their professional social roles.
