The movie was remade from the American classic movie "
12 Angry Men"; the story was basically the same but the content was changed from a total court drama to a reflection of Russian history and reality. The case itself was not that important. During the course of the discussion, everyone of the 12 jurors told a story based on his own experience. They had different identity and background and came from different part of Russian society, and the discussion was actually about the decades of Russian's social unrest and change. More than investigating the legal fairness and justice, the movie was reflecting and self-examining Russian's history and reality, which made the movie contain much more than the original American version.
本片翻拍自美国经典电影《
12怒汉》,故事框架基本保持原样,但从原来纯粹的法庭讨论戏变成了对俄罗斯历史和现实的反思。案件本身已经不是那么重要,审判讨论过程中,12个陪审员每个人都根据自身经历讲了一段故事,他们的身份不同,来自俄罗斯的各个阶层,而折射的也是俄罗斯这几十年的社会动荡与变迁。本片并不仅仅在探讨法律本身的公平与正义,也在反思和自我审视俄罗斯的历史和现实,这使得本片包含的内容大大超过了原来的美国版本。
