the movie was very intersting because it turn out that the 11 men whom voted guilty have learned to make the best choise.

Vj,
Absolutely right! Not being able to differentiate the driver and the by-product is the problem for most of us and that’s reason resulting in grievances and disappointments every year in every organisation.
Nice view! I like it and infact strongly believe it! May be self belief as well

Narak – The accused was also angry because he was innocent. So 11 angry jurors plus 1 angry accused = 12 angry men. It doesn’t make sense right?

Santy – I think there’s nothing wrong if that juror let someone know of what he did. But what should drive the juror is the fact that he has a serious responsibility in their hands. He should not be deviated or influenced by the consequences. As long as he’s able to maintain that, it should be fine. In this case, juror#8 did his job and that’s what he’s expected to do. Just because others did not do their job, the one who did does not become a hero. Juror#8 did exactly what’s expected of a good juror. Credit to him for that.
You said that the juror helped him. At least he does not seem to think so. He just did his job. A doctor need not think he helped you. That’s his very job and responsibility. The bus driver need not think that he helped you by driving you safely from office to home. A teacher that produce so many stalwarts may not think so. They all have important responsbilities and that’s what must drive them. And when you help, you help, without even caring about if the helped knows about that or not.
Finally, I might love to get appreciation or publicity but they need not drive me. I must be driven by what I want/need to deliver and produce. Appreciation/publicity is a by-product and not an end-result. That’s my view.

I have a doubt…
Are all the 12 jurors angry… hence the name 12 angry men.
As far i can remember i dont see the Juror 8 getting angry.
So its a 11 angry and 1 gentlemen

P:S: MKP (Masti Ki Paatshala): No. of days (5) X Interest on birthday wish not received (20%) X Original gift prize $ 10,000 = $ 10,000.
In total $ 20,000. Let me know when I can go to Western Union?

Vj,
I started reading summaries of World’s best movies from IMDB already, especially after seeing “Life is beautiful”. Unbelievable, the way they used to make movies. Not seen this marvel yet. Would see soon.
I have few questions after reading through these lines in your post,”The boy who finally gets released does not even know that it was only juror#8 stood between him and the electric chair death.” and ” The thing is he does not expect any credit for that because as far as he is concerned he has to do justice to his role as a juror, without caring about whether he gets the publicity for that or not.”
Is it incorrect to let know somebody that I did my job perfectly, which infact helped them? Why shouldn’t somebody expect credit for what they did? Especially if they have did something which others did not? Credit may be of anything not just money. It is good name, a good position because he is good at what he did or atleast belief on him in terms of what he is capable of would have increased!
I believe I already know the answers for all my above questions. Would like to know everyone’s views here

I liked hero’s (No:8) dialogue – We can’t decide somebody’s life in 5 min, Let’s discuss for an hour. And it goes ON…

Vijayyy…
I recently watched this movie and it lists in my all time favorites. They should have showed each evidence in detail. But it will take away the importance of the movie as we will have & end with our own opinion out of that. But it’s wonderful to watch & its interesting to make the whole movie in a single room with only conversation, convincing & understanding each other opinions against one honest opinion and above all it haven’t bored. All I can say – ‘Truth alone Triumphs’
