Twelve Angry Men
by Reginald Rose
Note to self: should I even be counting this as a book? The audiobook was approximately an hour and a half, a minuscule amount of time. It seems disingenuous to my reading goal, but I’m reading the Stormlight Archive this year, so maybe everything balanced out?
I watched the movie rendition of “Twelve Angry Men” when I was younger and was incredibly impressed. It is one of the pieces of famous media that fostered my interest in law. I revisited the story via audiobook. I liked how each of the characters had a different, distinct voice (although if they didn’t it would be impossible to tell them apart) and the voice actors were very good. However, through an audiobook format, it was still difficult to distinguish them.
Twelve Angry Men is a great screenplay/play. I don’t have to jabber on about what it says about man and the justice system, or the significance of not naming the jurors or the young man on trial. It’s an important and distinguished piece of media that I feel everyone should interact with. However, in my person opinion, I felt like I got more out of it through a movie format. While watching the movie, I was truly engrossed, and the visual aide brought out the emotion and distinctive personalities of the jurors (one of the parts I really like, they all have quirks and defining characteristics that ensure they don’t feel like stock characters). That’s pretty much all! I wouldn’t dissuade someone from consuming Twelve Angry Men through this type of format, but I just feel like the screenplay through the movie was more impactful.
