What a movie !!


There are some movies which take your breath away with their sheer brilliance. Brilliance in script, brilliance in acting, brilliance in being brilliant.

Last week, I happened to see a movie which did exactly that.

Well, what is so special about this movie?

Not even a single name being used through out the movie;
Entire movie shot in one room, barring two short scenes, one at the beginning and one at the end;
Wonderfully well articulated deliberation among 12 intellectual people;
Digging into the not-so-obvious things hidden under the so-called "facts";
Powerful and "provocative" performances by all 12 Men; enough to keep you spellbound

This is a timeless classic. Released way back in 1957. This is called "12 Angry Men".

The sad part being, such movies are no longer made these days.
