12 Angry Men and Me!!

Watched '12 Angry Men' (1957) the day before yesterday night - infact in the early hours of yesterday! I guess, I really loved the movie! I was just wondering how come I missed this film when we were chasing around for watching good movies during my college days....the movie, I should say was excellent! It was definately NOT a typical movie....the WHOLE movie takes place in just a SINGLE ROOM!! Just 12 people - interacting - No heroin, No Romance, No Action - nothing - but still the movie was very gripping....was really interesting...WOW....I just cant help wondering!!! The characterization of the 12 men and the interaction between them (the dialogues) gave the movie a completely different dimension that kept the movie going and should I mention the performance of the actors - Excellent!

The movie is all about a jury of 12 members deciding on a murder case to give their verdict if the 18 year old boy (accused) is Guilty or Not. The two important conditions in front of them are that, the decision they make should be unanimous and if they find the accused to be guilty, he will be executed, as the case is of a planned murder. The movie basically shows the different perspectives of different men with the same facts in place.....and yes the movie has its list of flaws but it is next to impossible to make a flaw-less movie....

The movie again made me re-think.....yeah - making a movie is fun and challenging and I am convinced that I have the talent to make one and Cinema is my passion even if I wantedly ignore it - that is what I was doing all this time - was wantedly ignoring even watching movies....that was because, I guess I was getting obsessive when it comes to making movies or even talking or dreaming of making one.....

okey....guess its enough for now......feeling like dreaming of THAVAM....did I tell u - thats the title of the script I am working on now......will catch u soon....Have a GREAT day......
