A landmark American drama that inspired a classic film and a Broadway revival—featuring an introduction by David Mamet
A blistering character study and an examination of the American melting pot and the judicial system that keeps it in check, Twelve Angry Men holds at its core a deeply patriotic faith in the U.S. legal system. The play centers on Juror Eight, who is at first the sole holdout in an 11-1 guilty vote. Eight sets his sights not on proving the other jurors wrong but rather on getting them to look at the situation in a clear-eyed way not affected by their personal prejudices or biases. Reginald Rose deliberately and carefully peels away the layers of artifice from the men and allows a fuller picture to form of them—and of America, at its best and worst.
After the critically acclaimed teleplay aired in 1954, this landmark American drama went on to become a cinematic masterpiece in 1957 starring Henry Fonda, for which Rose wrote the adaptation. More recently, Twelve Angry Men had a successful, and award-winning, run on Broadway.

被书单狗安利来看的,那篇推文也写得很吸引人。 很喜欢这本书的封面! 看剧本,有“一目了然”的感觉。剧本并不长,正文部分只有一百来页,各种冲突也更集中。 这场讨论并没有事先交待案件的情况,而是由十二人进入房间时开始,而我却能在他们的讨论中慢慢了解情况。十二个不同...
评分对于法庭题材的电影、书籍、电子游戏我都有着特别的喜爱之情,尤其很期待法庭逆转之时的热血时间。《十二怒汉》的电影和中国翻拍电影《十二公民》我都看过,这次看书更感受到了文字带来的更具视觉冲击的代入感。陪审团12个人的角色塑造都各有不同且十分饱满,尤其罗斯那细腻的...
评分 评分周末去杭州西西弗买的书,不到一天即可看完,先知道的电影,偶然看到这本书感觉很不错,首先封面和纸张以及排版非常不错,其次这本书不仅仅只有剧本,在前面加了序,序里对各国的几个版本的电影做出了解析与对比,并且结合现实讲解了一下当时国家法律以及相关政策的不足。主要...
干脆利落 张弛有度 逻辑和语言的魅力 吕美特版多加了一些人情味
评分对比剧本和电影中设定的不同能发现一些意外的点。
评分其实一开始不大喜欢的地方是我对它的误解,我的初衷是它是对司法系统一些fiat的评论以及探讨它们的界限。后来才发现其实它只想说说种族歧视。
评分回忆、想回忆一下。大学曾经学过这篇文章、记得王老师给我们放这个的电影时、我无耻滴做在第一排睡着了……
评分高中英语课上指定读的 结合电影分析人物性格 很有意思
