12 Angry Men

We were talking about good movies and one of my colleagues suggested me to watch 12 Angry Men. This movie was released in 1957. Yes, 1957. 50+ years movie and someone, at age 25, is suggesting it. I watched it and felt it is good.

The jury has to give verdict whether the slum boy had murdered his father or not. The 12 men argue over the points, in a small room and THAT is this movie.

I thought it would be boring. It would be very much predictable. Well, I was able to predict but the movie is very interesting. The black and white movie is one of the good movies I have seen.
12 Angry Men explores many techniques of consensus-building, and the difficulties encountered in the process, among a group of men whose range of personalities adds intensity and conflict. Apart from two of the jurors swapping names while leaving the courthouse, no names are used in the film: the defendant is referred to as "the boy" and the witnesses as the "old man" and "the lady across the street".

Stop & Listen

Source: Email forward A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousand of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule. A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work. The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk tur...
