This essay will compare & contrast the protagonist /
antagonists relationship with each other and the other jurors in the
play and in the movie versions of Reginald Roses 12 Angry Men. There
arent any changes made to the key part of the story but yet the
minor changes made in making the movie adaptation produce a different
picture than what one imagines when reading the drama in the form of
a play.
First off, the settings in the movie are a great deal more
fleshed out. In the play, the scene begins with the jurors regarding
the judges final statements concerning the case in the courtroom and
then walking out into the jury room. In the movie, the audience is
placed in the role of the invisible casual observer, who for perhaps
the first 5 minutes of the movie, walks throughout the court building
passing other court rooms, lawyers, defendants, security officers,
elevators, etc. Not able to remember much about this particular part
of the movie, I believe this introductory scenes purpose was to
either enhanced the realism of the setting by emphasizing the court
buildings efficient, business like manner or to provide a timeslot
in which to roll the credits for producer, director, stars, etc. The
settings arent only built upon through use of scenery and extras in
the movie.
