In the conclusion of 12 Angry Men, all of the men agree that the boy is not guilty. There is a total shift of emotion among all 12 of the jurors, since the start of the movie and the end of the movie. Each one of them took a different passage towards the decision they believed was the truth. The old man who supported the boy from the start was able to change the fate of the boy, because he thought beyond the surface information, and owned his facts.

The jurors who were unstable with their choice, such as the salesman, did not think out the case for themselves. Each time a person stated their reasonable opinions, the salesman would quickly take the side of the person who gave good, smart information. This makes me wonder if I am like that too. I realized I am not like that all the time but there are many incidents where I would blankly follow another’s opinion, because I didn’t feel like thinking too deeply.

Another problem I saw with the men in the courtroom, was the last man to vote, “not guilty’. His emotions, experiences, and obstinacies hindered him from voting on what seemed the most true. He gripped on to his first vote because he was engulfed with anger and bitter scorn. It is evident that the man is very bitter, but it is hard to see what had made him to become so negative. His bitterness was deeply rooted in his subconscious mind that even he didn’t know he was inclining for the worst for the boy. It wasn’t until he was under pressure that he was able to let out the adversities that were haunting his emotions. This is a quality that I can relate with, because I sometimes refuse to believe the truth, just because the lies seem easier to cope with.

It is really hard to accept something we cannot see, but there is way too much we haven’t seen, aren't seeing, or won't see in the future. It is up to our innate intelligence, perception, and reasoning to decipher the wrongs and rights. The first man to vote the boy not guilty symbolized reason. He created his own opinions after hearing the witnesses testify against the boy. Perhaps the boy did not kill his father, thanks to the old man, he would not face injustice. My life, as well as other individuals, must obtain a keen sense of reasoning because it can offer us reality.
