Anon watches a movie with his dad

That guy was the most realistic juror.

He just didn't wanna f'ing be there and didn't contribute until he accepted he wasn't getting to the game.

BagOfShenanigans@reddit

I never considered that there was a world of 12 Angry Men memes I've been missing out on.

[-]

Cuddlyaxe@reddit

Honestly I feel like memes on old media prolly work better because they're so genuine instead of people consciously trying to be ironic or memable

[-]

witerawy@reddit

One of my favorite memes of all time is from Rear Window

[-]

BonkeyKongthesecond@reddit

Damn, Is this finally the age of boomer memes? Because I'm barely 40 but can't stand all those random Zoomer this these days. This.. this right here is peak

[-]

mamalick@reddit

I don't get this, can someone explain

[-]

12 Angry Men is a movie about 12 jurors debating whether a black boy was guilty of killing his father. Both juror#4 and #10 believed the boy was the murderer, but #4 used logic to support his arguments while #10 is just straight up a massive racist.

[-]

Expensive-Lie@reddit

He wasnt Black, but jewish or Italian

[-]

RonaldMcDonalds2020@reddit

This is a black and white movie, since Jews and Italians aren't white that means that they must be black.

[-]

maledin@reddit

That was considered black back when this movie was originally made.

[-]

InfusionOfYellow@reddit

It was not.

[-]

maledin@reddit

Yep, it was a joke.

[-]

FastenedCarrot@reddit

What if he was Sicilian?

[-]

InfusionOfYellow@reddit

Don't be so silly, Anne.

[-]

Skogbeorn@reddit

no

The movie is older thank your dad Lil boy

Tom did rape thar white women i seens it

leglesslegolegolas@reddit

If you watch To Kill a Mockingbird with the idea that Tom is actually guilty it becomes a whole different movie...

Juror 8 was operating outside the law, and his continual ignoring of jury rules should have resulted in a mistrial. Jurors are not allowed to conduct their own investigations, present their own evidence to the jury, or make legal arguments that were not introduced in the trial. Juries are supposed to deliberate and reach a decision *based on evidence presented in the trial," and Juror 8's extrajudicial antics tainted the jury.

[-]

Qverlord37@reddit

I saw the remake, it was better than I thought it would be.

[-]

yxtsama@reddit

I didn’t know it had a remake and honestly it’s aged pretty well since it’s just a dialog heavy movie, how did they remake it? Just re-shoot the same dialogues and the plot or did they change the basics

[-]

Ajthedonut@reddit

Just recasted and refilmed I think. They made the defendant Hispanic and the racist guy black though, which was a very odd decision

[-]

neproood@reddit

I might get hate for this, but when I worked with a lot of Hispanic guys (like 90% of my coworkers), most of the people that were racist towards them were black. So idk, maybe just a coincidence

[-]

kanny_jiller@reddit

Racism both ways between black and Hispanic people is pretty common unfortunately

[-]

ScootaliciousScooter@reddit

When a black man and a Mexican meet, either they love each other like brothers off the first meeting or they sling slurs at each other. There’s no inbetween.

[-]

FastenedCarrot@reddit

Depends how long it's been since they both saw Dragonball.

[-]

Qverlord37@reddit

I thought the original kid was also hispanic.

he was in the slum, which could've just been code for any sort of minority, but the kid wasn't black or asian.

could've been Irish or Italian or any other sort of other white minority that was also ostracized back then, it's quite interesting how that evolved.

[-]

Qverlord37@reddit

similar dialogue, recasted with a more diverse group of actors.

they definitely fleshed out each characters a bit more, but I feel like the remakes lacks the subtlety of the original.

the script itself feels like it's doing a lot more legwork to spell it out to the viewer rather than leave things ambiguous for the viewer to process.

[-]

He-She-We_Wumbo@reddit

Yeah, Bruce Willis and Madeleine Stowe were great, but I thought Brad Pitt really stole the show. What a twist!

[-]

Ninj4noobzinho@reddit

holy molly, i watched this movie right now, and it was incredible. Thanks OP for making me watch this 10/10.

[-]

poop-machines@reddit

I'm gonna watch now thanks to this comment

[-]

Ninj4noobzinho@reddit

It's really good, for me the best part is the details of the characters and room they are, the story of the boy that is told in the investigation, and of course the actors.

[-]

poop-machines@reddit

It was good. I enjoyed it.

Can we make a sub or something lmao

[-]

We should have a classics/golden age of Hollywood meme sub

Dude for real I didn't know I needed this so bad

qpalzm76@reddit

Anon wants his dad to read his mind instead of talking to him like an adult

[-]

Ok_Leg8733@reddit

Yeah he really seems like the kind of dad that's up for a heartfelt conversation

[-]

qpalzm76@reddit

Maybe not, but he also doesn’t seem like the type to watch a movie and relate it to his relationship with his son. Actually speaking to him has more of a chance than hoping he comes up with it for the first time in his life

[-]

Ok_Leg8733@reddit

Man, if only the grown man trying to reconcile his relationship with a desperate last-ditch attempt had thought of speaking to his dad first. Tragic lapse tbh hope he tries it

[-]

qpalzm76@reddit

If speaking to him won’t do it, a movie won’t do it either

[-]

CompleteSea4734@reddit

Dumb bitch

[-]

Ok_Leg8733@reddit

Man you're just a bottomless well of insights

[-]

qpalzm76@reddit

Nah I just have my own opinion from experiences but not everyone agrees because not everyone’s that same

[-]

HexPhoenix@reddit

Everyone agrees, you're stating the obvious. If the dad was willing to have an actual conversation, it would definitely be better than conveying vague messages through films. But considering that OOP said he agreed to watch one film a month together, we can assume that option is already out the window.

[-]

Celebrimbor333@reddit

Err, /u/qpalzm76 might not be wrong here--surely talking (however ineffectual) is faster than watching movies and never discussing the desperately needed subtext

[-]

IdioticZacc@reddit

I'm pretty sure everyone knows that, but anon might have already tried and it didn't work or got rejected to even talk about it, and is now using films out of desperation

[-]

TheCreepWhoCrept@reddit

The reaction to this comment is crazy. It’s the most obvious shit in the world. If talking directly can’t work, then probably nothing will. Certainly not this circuitous nonsense. Life isn’t a fucking hallmark movie.

Lmao that’s Reddit

Something tells me Dad isn't open to honest adult conversations. He'd probably just call anon a f****t.

Frosty_Salamander856@reddit

Anon is actually a daughter, that's why.

[-]

Gravesh@reddit

He would be better off finding a project for him and his Dad to do together, like working on the house or a project car. Technically, that dynamic should be on the father to explore, but this is the real world, so we should keep our expectations low and realistic on that front.

[-]

Tin_Philosopher@reddit

maybe they should watch queer eye with you and your mom

[-]

Ihavenogoodnames@reddit

If this is how Anon's dad reacts when he sees someone showing vulnerability can see why Anon might be hesitant to explain anything in front of him.

[-]

Eskimomonk@reddit

If OP’s dad is the kind of person that watches movies at literal face value and can’t even begin the thought process of relating to a message or theme personally then all a conversation is gonna do is get anon kicked out of the house or at best told to shut the fuck up and quit crying

[-]

UltimateInferno@reddit

12 Angry Men has aged phenomenally. I love how it ends, not with a "I know who did it!" or a resolution on what really happened with the murder because that's not the jury's job. They simply had to decide if the boy was guilty beyond all reasonable doubt and decided, no. That's that.

[-]

leglesslegolegolas@reddit

Here's the thing though: The kid was almost certainly guilty, and the prosecution's evidence did prove it. Juror 8 then presents his own evidence and makes his own arguments that were not presented in court, in direct violation of jury rules. The jury is supposed to decide the case on the merits presented during the trial, and they did not do that.

[-]

Skogbeorn@reddit

If you have a shit lawyer you deserve the chair, it's just how it is

I bet he liked juror #10

He'd probably be like "what kind of pussy gets killed by a photographer"

[-]

ChadCoolman@reddit

Anon thinks his dad isn't getting the message when in fact anon is the one not getting the message.

[-]

UristMcMagma@reddit

The message that he should take hrt so that his dad can love him heterosexuality?

[-]

SharkMilk44@reddit

I should actually watch this movie, sometime.

[-]

holaprobando123@reddit

You should, it's a masterpiece.

[-]

Domojestic@reddit

OOP needs to realize that he holds no responsibility to his parents to maintain a relationship and can decide with whom to associate entirely himself.

[-]

ialwaysforgetmename@reddit

Anon's dad was talking about Anon.

[-]

interrogated-poet@reddit

based dad

[-]

Alohoe@reddit

I agree with Anon's dad.

[-]

Kriegsman__69th@reddit

He has a picture of his son in his wallet, that's a dad who loves his child even though he disaproves the decisions his son took in life.

Some fathers are just that, fathers, they just cummed you out.
