12 Angry Men - Awesome and Must Watch.


I thoroughly enjoyed watching the movie - 12 Angry Men recently.

The movie is inspirational in the sense that it makes you understand the importance of how to take a stand in life and how to live by your own convictions rather than be swayed away by the thoughts of others which may be misleading and superficial at times. Reaching a consensus is so difficult in some situations, but still it can be achieved : 12 Angry Men proves this.

Well, 12 Angry Men is a thrilling, dramatic movie which makes you realize that once a man is firm on his opinion, he has the power to change the opinion of the world.
In the movie, one person holding a different view stands upto 11 other men who have contrary views to that of his. But he is not deterred by their truculent behavior and shows tenacity and guts to prove his point. One by one each one of them gets convinced and finally all of them change their opinions and agree with him!

The movie brings to mind a few adages like the ones mentioned below and these appear to be so true in its context:
“Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder”
“All that glitters is not gold”
“Attention to detail is important.”

All in all, it is a superb portrayal of characters and a mesmerizing watch.
