section Summary
 
 
The movie 12 Angry Men systematically altered the views of the jurors by eliminating the bias, ignorance, and fallacies. Many of these men held predetermined points of view in which there minds were made up before analyzing the defendant. Through the process of reviewing factual information and determining its substance the jurors were gradually opening to what really happened. The ideal of reasonable doubt was brought to the forefront of the deliberations. Through discussions of the events that took place during the time of the murder the suspicion of the actual truth became evident to many of the jurors. As the jury analyzed the murder case the separation of closed minded jurors and critical thinkers became clear.
