12 angry men - 十二怒漢


It's a very amusing name for me - 12 angry men (...............). Well, it's not angry at all. The film revolves around 12 juries disscussing a case of murder, and the most impressive thing of the movie is the film have only one scene - the jury room. The 12 juries and 1 jury room assistant are the all people you can see in the film - you can't even see the defendant. With 12 men and 1 room, astonishingly, it made one the most sensational movie you ever seen.


The film embarks on a 12 juries in a sweltering jury room discussing whether a young defendant guilty or not. All of them expects a unanimous vote that would rule the young boy is guilty - except one man. The man refuses to make a shoddy decision and so he votes down the ruling. Therefore he is soon seen as a troublemaker by the other 11 men and then a fierce row is posed. At the very beginning, audience solely gets the vaguest idea of the story, the lack of information make you keep an eye on the screen. As the story going forward, more and more details are being unveiled and the story is finally finished with a unexpected ending. In this film, we can see the power of a movie script. Even there are just 12 actors and one scene, a sophisticated script makes everything possible, it's much more powerful than a exaggerated special effect or some elegant decoration.


The flim also hails the juridical system of America. It reflects the ideas of repecting life and pursuing justice. Indeed, the movie comprises of many element, such as the 12 men is a micro view of the America society, those men each is a badge of a corresponding class. To a certain extent, each of them shows a pervasive personality of that group of people, it's plain to see in the film.

A glitch

Ordinarily i do not miss such glitch, because it's so plain to spot. But i was dazzled by a heavily packed text and thus i overlooked it. For every single room, only one person can dwell inside. There were 4 rooms and i spotted 5 persons - but i didn't sense the fault. Then i was distraught and spent more than 2 hours to cope with the error but, of course, i could not get my way.
When i found the glitch out, i thought that even a pig is more competent than me.

Super Star


It is likely to be the most weary TV show on Sunday. The show is just taking the cue from its Taiwan counterpart, but everything is entirely down-graded. It attempts to emphasize the friendship among the participants, tries to pose a ruthful ambience to the show. But they overdo it, such makeshift emotion is unable to grab any sympathy and it solely makes the progamme cosmetic. The soild relation between participants seems stemming from nothing, and you would presume they are already well-known each other for a very long haul. When one of them is out, the others would cry miserably and vie to embrace the pathetic loser, despite they have not even talked with each other. The producers may envisage that the audience are a dupe at all.

The talk-too-much hostess also play a big role in the show. Every single word form her mouth is never handled with her brain, her meaningless comments and defiant attitude to the particpants shows her lack of modesty. Apparently the producers also spot her inability to take up the show, so they arrange a relatively more versatile actor to be her partner in an attempt to mitigate the strained ambience. And i am now grateful to see that she obviously talks much lesser than before.

All of participants are just ordinary folk, none of them can be dubbed as a Super-Star. I concede we should not pose such illegitimate demand on them, they are just amateur, i know. In fact they have outshone a bunch of appliants to grab the qualification, and if the profession of the judges is concrete, we would only assert that the competition is fail to grip genius talent to take part. There are many similar singing contest held in the past, but then no one can get the whereabouts of those winners. Even someone wins such march, his/her path to sucess is not promised. So there is just a measly attraction for the talents to take part in those contest, in stead they may opt to roll out their masterpiece by their own or just wait to be excavated by prominent producers. In fact they are not needed to play a role in those farces. However i still intent to praise the courage of those participants, even there are a big room for them to improve.

Maybe the only thing that can please you is the judges. Most of them is a versatile and experienced performer, and boast a substantial achievements, they are solely a team of veteran singer. We are hardly found today's artist like them who strive to polish their own technique. They really far outshine the participants.

Now, because of your reluctance, i affirm you have an ulterior motive and attempt to conceal something.
