12 Angry Men shows the difficulty of compromising. As a great man once said, “A good compromise leaves everyone angry.” The conversation is difficult, and some people just don’t want to cooperate, making finding a solution very difficult. The main character had not only to explain his points very clearly, but also play the politics of the room in order to win over supporters. He often focused on individuals, trying to get each man to side with him, one by one. At times the debate came to a standstill, members on both sides unwilling to make any progress. However, each time they were able to restart the conversation, work out solutions to problems, help each other understand the case from other perspectives, and finally come to a conclusion. This movie shows the power of compromise, and how the judicial system actually can work when properly handled.
