Twelve Angry Men (Penguin Classics)

Product Information

Pocas veces podemos encontrarnos en una situación donde la vida de una persona depende de las decisiones que tomemos y de los factores que influyen en esas decisiones. Reginald Rose deliberately and carefully peels away the layers of artifice from the men and allows a fuller picture to form of them—and of America, at its best and worst. A 'guilty' verdict seems a foregone conclusion, but one member of the jury has the will to probe more deeply into the evidence and the courage to confront the ignorance and prejudice of some of his fellow jurors.

Henry Fonda as Juror 8 (Davis), a humane, justice-seeking architect and father of three; initially, the only one to question the evidence and vote "not guilty".

La acción transcurre en una tarde calurosa de verano de 1957, en una corte de la ciudad de Nueva York y se inicia cuando un juez advierte a los doce jurados sobre su importante labor. But what gives 12 Angry Men its enduring interest, its intellectual sharpness as well as its “twist,” is that Fonda’s character is by no means sure the accused is innocent. A few of the 12 came out of the Actors Studio, which along with Kaufman’s cinematography gives some hint as to why Elia Kazan is, to my mind, a kind of invisible presence within the film: something we might have suspected if only because of the deep authenticity of working-class male emotion, and the passionate hatred of injustice behind the depiction of Lee J. Only one member of the jury believes there's a reasonable doubt as to the guilt of the accused, and forces the other jurors to examine the evidence more thoroughly. Although written 69 years ago the subject matter is still at the forefront of our American melting pot culture.A complete kinescope of that performance, which had been missing for years and was feared lost, was discovered in 2003. That is all except for one juror alone who stands questioning whether the boy should be condemned so rashly.

BTW, the movie with Henry Fonda and a cast of other well-known actors is excellent and follows the play almost word-for-word. Si en ustedes existe el menor asomo de duda sobre la culpabilidad del acusado, es decir, una duda razonable, deben emitir veredicto de inocente. In this episode, the jury is presiding over the case of a man accused of stabbing another man attempting to make a bank deposit.
