12 Angry Men (2/10) Movie CLIP - It's the Same Knife! (1957) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Juror #8 (Henry Fonda) debunks the "one knife theory" by revealing that he has one just like it.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
A Puerto Rican youth is on trial for murder, accused of knifing his father to death. The twelve jurors retire to the jury room, having been admonished that the defendant is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Eleven of the jurors vote for conviction, each for reasons of his own. The sole holdout is Juror #8, played by Henry Fonda. As Fonda persuades the weary jurors to re-examine the evidence, we learn the backstory of each man. Juror #3 (Lee J. Cobb), a bullying self-made man, has estranged himself from his own son. Juror #7 (Jack Warden) has an ingrained mistrust of foreigners; so, to a lesser extent, does Juror #6 (Edward Binns). Jurors #10 (Ed Begley) and #11 (George Voskovec), so certain of the infallibility of the Law, assume that if the boy was arrested, he must be guilty. Juror #4 (E.G. Marshall) is an advocate of dispassionate deductive reasoning. Juror #5 (Jack Klugman), like the defendant a product of "the streets," hopes that his guilty vote will distance himself from his past. Juror #12 (Robert Webber), an advertising man, doesn't understand anything that he can't package and market. And Jurors #1 (Martin Balsam), #2 (John Fiedler) and #9 (Joseph Sweeney), anxious not to make waves, "go with the flow." The excruciatingly hot day drags into an even hotter night; still, Fonda chips away at the guilty verdict, insisting that his fellow jurors bear in mind those words "reasonable doubt." A pet project of Henry Fonda's, Twelve Angry Men was his only foray into film production; the actor's partner in this venture was Reginald Rose, who wrote the 1954 television play on which the film was based. Carried over from the TV version was director Sidney Lumet, here making his feature-film debut. A flop when it first came out (surprisingly, since it cost almost nothing to make), Twelve Angry Men holds up beautifully when seen today. It was remade for television in 1997 by director William Friedkin with Jack Lemmon and George C. Scott.

HIT US UP:

[tomsmurf]

My teacher showed this movie to my class and when he whipped out the second knife the whole class went

[yaraamine]

THAT is seriously one of the most BADASS scenes ever filmed. The way it is shown how convinced the men are of something only to be immediately contradicted. The first stage of the seemingly bulletproof facts to be gradually dissolved.

[vashna]

Henry Fonda’s Juror 8 is the greatest hero in Cinema history. Doesn’t hit or kill any bad guy, doesn’t get any girl or romance, wins nothing, loses nothing, defends a boy he doesn’t know or won’t see again, walks out of the courthouse just like any other person. Just wants to see fairness.

[jongon]

"It's against the law to buy switchblade knives."
"That's right I broke the law"
God I love Henry Fonda in this movie, he's such a bad ass hero. One of the greats in Cinema history

[caseysshenanigans]

I love how all silent the jury room is, until Juror 8 pulls out the knife. Then everyone goes crazy.

[modernsophist]

I love how this argument on possibility and probability is between a stock broker (#4) and an architect (#8)

[alphonse]

“And I say it’s not possible!”
Eight Juror: *I’m about to ruin this man’s whole career.*

[railenherman]

My jaw hit the floor when this scene came up. From this point on, I was completely invested in the film.

[Sai]

Next set of Jurors: Why are there stab marks on this table?

[nateds]

You know a movie is a classic when it can keep up it's suspense when it's dead quiet 90 percent of the run time. There's 3 music cues in the whole movie, the begining, the second vote, and the ending.

[PalmettoGD]

More that 63 years later and this is still the most badass scene of all time

[stevenhaskell]

watch this movie with some mates, everytime someone says "possible" or "suppose" drink a shot

[garrison]

Best scene in the film.

And this is the best version of the play. One of Lumet's five best films.

[nedd.]

Henry Fonda's performance in this is probably one of the best in cinematic history.

[jongon]

"But not very probable."
Henry Fonda absolutely nails the conflicted body language and facial expressions when they cut back to him. It's what separates a good performance from a fantastic performance.

[tomm]

it sucks that no one at my work, or even my age that i know of, has seen this movie? And I'm 23 years old. So, I'm not that young, but than again, I'm not that old. But I'll tell ya, this right here is a masterpiece. One of my favorites.

[kathrynwillock]

0:47 - 0:51, the badassery levels cannot be matched. That was the guy saying, “Believe me now?!”

[jeimii]

Straight goosebumps from this scene, my english teacher showed this to us after learning about fallacy and bias

[Remgauge]

Lee J. Cobb hit a homerun in this movie.

[SojournFive]

I have seen this movie dozens of times, and never tire of it. I can also say, every time I watch it, I find something that I didn't see before! Keep watching!
