Beschreibung
A blistering character study and an examination of the American melting pot and the judicial system that keeps it in check, Twelve Angry Men holds at its core a deeply patriotic faith in the U.S. legal system. The play centers on Juror Eight, who is at first the sole holdout in an 11-1 guilty vote. Eight sets his sights not on proving the other jurors wrong but rather on getting them to look at the situation in a clear-eyed way not affected by their personal prejudices or biases. 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.
After the critically acclaimed teleplay aired in 1954, this landmark American drama went on to become a cinematic masterpiece in 1957 starring Henry Fonda, for which Rose wrote the adaptation. More recently, Twelve Angry Men had a successful, and award-winning, run on Broadway.

Mhhhh.
Also ich hab das buch für die Schule gelesen, aber es war eigentlich wirklich nicht do schlecht. Ich fand das ende schon ganz gut, und habe auch so ein bißchen den sinn der geschichte verstanden. Ich fande manchmal ging es einfach nur ein bißchen hinterher, und ich war froh das das buch nicht zu lang war sodass wir das ganze buch dan auch in 2 wochen durch hatten.
I liked the book, but it was clear for me after the first objection how I‘d play out - book logic. The author critizises the jury system of america and how people influence their decisons made by their own prejudices and rassisism. It‘s as if the 8th juror needed to show the others how to think of the kid as a human with background, reasons and emotions, that they can‘t blindly believe what they‘re told and need to question what seems like facts.
