I just watched 12 Angry Men (1957) for the first time and it is incredible. (beehaw.org)

I picked up the Criterion BluRay during Barnes & Noble’s sale this summer after being aware of the film for a while. I was intrigued by the single-room story and the exploration of condemning someone as guilty, and the film totally blew me away. The acting was stellar, the writing is timeless, and the cinematography was magic the way it kept a single room visually interesting for 90 minutes.

10/10 everyone should watch it

Yep! I have been teaching this play in my classes and we watch the movie at the end. It is amazing what all my students have to say about the themes of this story. Even my “I’m not a writer” students will jump to start the assignments. I can’t say enough good things about it.
